- Variable in class javax.swing.text.html.parser.AttributeList 
public Vector values
- Method in class java.awt.RenderingHints 
public Collection values ()
Returns a Collection view of the values contained in this RenderinHints. The Collection is backed by the RenderingHints, so changes to the RenderingHints are reflected in the Collection, and vice-versa. If the RenderingHints is modified while an iteration over the Collection is in progress, the results of the iteration are undefined. The Collection supports element removal, which removes the corresponding mapping from the RenderingHints, via the Iterator.remove, Collection.remove, removeAll, retainAll and clear operations. It does not support the add or addAll operations.Specified by:  values in interface Map Returns: a Collection view of the values contained in this RenderingHints.

Description copied from class: Hashtable  Returns a Collection view of the values contained in this Hashtable. The Collection is backed by the Hashtable, so changes to the Hashtable are reflected in the Collection, and vice-versa. The Collection supports element removal (which removes the corresponding entry from the Hashtable), but not element addition.Overrides: values in class Hashtable Tags copied from interface: Map  Returns: a collection view of the values contained in this map.
- Method in class java.util.Hashtable 
public Collection values ()
Returns a Collection view of the values contained in this Hashtable. The Collection is backed by the Hashtable, so changes to the Hashtable are reflected in the Collection, and vice-versa. The Collection supports element removal (which removes the corresponding entry from the Hashtable), but not element addition.Specified by:  values in interface Map Since: JDK1.2
- Method in class java.util.AbstractMap 
public Collection values ()
Returns a collection view of the values contained in this map. The collection is backed by the map, so changes to the map are reflected in the collection, and vice-versa. (If the map is modified while an iteration over the collection is in progress, the results of the iteration are undefined.) The collection supports element removal, which removes the corresponding entry from the map, via the Iterator.remove, Collection.remove, removeAll, retainAll and clear operations. It does not support the add or addAll operations. This implementation returns a collection that subclasses abstract collection. The subclass's iterator method returns a "wrapper object" over this map's iterator. The size method delegates to this map's size method and the contains method delegates to this map's containsValue method. The collection is created the first time this method is called, and returned in response to all subsequent calls. No synchronization is performed, so there is a slight chance that multiple calls to this method will not all return the same Collection.Specified by:  values in interface Map Returns: a collection view of the values contained in this map.
- Method in class java.util.HashMap 
public Collection values ()
Returns a collection view of the values contained in this map. The collection is backed by the map, so changes to the map are reflected in the collection, and vice-versa. The collection supports element removal, which removes the corresponding mapping from this map, via the Iterator.remove, Collection.remove, removeAll, retainAll, and clear operations. It does not support the add or addAll operations.Specified by:  values in interface Map Overrides: values in class AbstractMap Returns: a collection view of the values contained in this map.
- Method in interface java.util.Map 
public Collection values ()
Returns a collection view of the values contained in this map. The collection is backed by the map, so changes to the map are reflected in the collection, and vice-versa.

The collection supports element removal, which removes the corresponding mapping from the map, via the Iterator.remove, Collection.remove, removeAll, retainAll and clear operations. It does not support the add or addAll operations.Returns: a collection view of the values contained in this map.
- Method in class java.util.TreeMap 
public Collection values ()
Returns a collection view of the values contained in this map. The collection's iterator will return the values in the order that their corresponding keys appear in the tree. The collection is backed by this TreeMap instance, so changes to this map are reflected in the collection, and vice-versa. The collection supports element removal, which removes the corresponding mapping from the map through the Iterator.remove, Collection.remove, removeAll, retainAll, and clear operations. It does not support the add or addAll operations.Overrides: values in class AbstractMap Returns: a collection view of the values contained in this map.
- Method in class java.util.jar.Attributes

Values Definition from Encyclopedia Dictionaries & Glossaries
Wikipedia English - The Free Encyclopedia
A personal or cultural value is an absolute or relative ethical value, the assumption of which can be the basis for ethical action. A value system is a set of consistent values and measures. A principle value is a foundation upon which other values and measures of integrity are based. Those values which are not physiologically determined and normally considered objective, such as a desire to avoid physical pain, seek pleasure, etc., are considered subjective, vary across individuals and cultures and are in many ways aligned with belief and belief systems. Types of values include ethical/moral value, doctrinal/ideological (religious, political) values, social values, and aesthetic values. It is debated whether some values which are not clearly physiologically determined are intrinsic such as altruism and whether some such as acquisitiveness should be valued as vices or virtues. Values have typically been studied in sociology; anthropology; social psychology; moral philosophy and business ethics.
