Code / Description
You rarely see the Vector class used nowadays (ArrayList is better), but it's pretty prevalent in Domino, as it's the default object for multi-values. This is a simple Java method for making a Vector object unique.
public static Vector makeUnique(Vector v)
{
Vector tmpVector = new Vector();
String tmpValue;
int i;
if (v.isEmpty()) return(v);
for (int j = 0; j < v.size(); j++)
{
tmpValue = (String)v.elementAt(j);
if (tmpValue!=null)
{
if (tmpVector.isEmpty()) tmpVector.addElement(tmpValue);
if (tmpVector.indexOf(tmpValue) == -1)
{
tmpVector.addElement(tmpValue);
}
}
}
return (tmpVector);
}
