I'm having issues getting a block of code to run properly. I'm not entirely sure WHAT this code does (I'm trying to get a plugin that's out of date to work properly with our server), I just know every 20 minutes it runs and throws out an error. Here's the section of code where the issue is happening:
public class DynamicThread extends Thread { private LocalShops plugin = null; public DynamicThread(ThreadGroup tgroup, String tname, LocalShops plugin) { super(tgroup, tname); this.plugin = plugin; } public void run() { Map<ItemInfo, List<Integer>> itemStockMap = Collections.synchronizedMap(new HashMap<ItemInfo, List<Integer>>()); //Dump all the shop stock data into the map. for ( Shop shop : plugin.getShopManager().getAllShops() ) { for ( InventoryItem item : shop.getItems() ) { if (itemStockMap.containsKey(item.getInfo())) itemStockMap.get(item.getInfo()).add(item.getStock()); //Where error happens else itemStockMap.put(item.getInfo(), Arrays.asList(item.getStock())); } } for(ItemInfo item : itemStockMap.keySet()) { List<Integer> stockList = GenericFunctions.limitOutliers(itemStockMap.get(item)); //remove the map before re-adding it if (DynamicManager.getPriceAdjMap().containsKey(item)) DynamicManager.getPriceAdjMap().remove(item); //Get the overall stock change for a given item and then calculate the adjustment given the volatility int deltaStock = GenericFunctions.getSum(stockList) - Config.getGlobalBaseStock(); DynamicManager.getPriceAdjMap().put(item, GenericFunctions.getAdjustment(Config.getGlobalVolatility(), deltaStock)); } Bukkit.getServer().getScheduler().callSyncMethod(plugin, plugin.getShopManager().updateSigns()); }
}
The error happens from line 42, which is:
itemStockMap.get(item.getInfo()).add(item.getStock());
The error it outputs happens every 20 minutes twice with 2 seconds in between.

Thanks in advance for any help.
The UnsupportedOperationException can be resolved by using a mutable collection, such as ArrayList , which can be modified. An unmodifiable collection or data structure should not be attempted to be modified.
There are two methods to add elements to the list. add(E e): appends the element at the end of the list. Since List supports Generics, the type of elements that can be added is determined when the list is created. add(int index, E element): inserts the element at the given index.
The List interface in Java provides a way to store the ordered collection. It is a child interface of Collection. It is an ordered collection of objects in which duplicate values can be stored. Since List preserves the insertion order, it allows positional access and insertion of elements.
asList returns a fixed size List backed by an array. Therefore remove and add are not supported.
You're using Arrays.asList()
to create the lists in the Map
here:
itemStockMap.put(item.getInfo(), Arrays.asList(item.getStock()));
This method returns a non-resizable List
backed by the array. From that method's documentation:
Returns a fixed-size list backed by the specified array. (Changes to the returned list "write through" to the array.)
In order to use a resizable List
(and actually copy the contents), use the following:
itemStockMap.put( item.getInfo(), new ArrayList<Integer>(Arrays.asList(item.getStock())) );
Note: in general, when seeing that UnsupportedOperationException
is being thrown by add
, etc. it's typically an indication that some code is trying to modify a non-resizable or unmodifiable collection.
For example, Collections.emptyList
or Collections.singletonList
(which return unmodifiable collections) may be used as optimizations but accidentally be passed into methods that try to modify them. For this reason it's good practice for methods to make defensive copies of collections before modifying them (unless of course modifying the collection is a method's intended side effect) - that way callers are free to use the most appropriate collection implementation without worrying about whether it needs to be modifiable.
I think I've worked out your problem. Arrays.asList(item.getStock())
returns a fixed size list based on the Array passed to it.
This means you cannot add more elements to it.
Instead you should do new ArrayList(Arrays.asList(item.getStock()))
.
This way you are creating a new list that you can add to.
