The Vector's subList() method does not make a clone of the element references : Vector « Collections « Java Tutorial






If you replace the element within the sublist, it is replaced in the original vector.

If you remove something from the sublist, it is also removed from the vector.

import java.util.List;
import java.util.Vector;

public class MainClass {
  public static void main(String args[]) {
    Vector v1 = new Vector();
    v1.add("A");
    v1.add("B");
    v1.add("C");
    List l = v1.subList(1, 2);

    l.remove(0);

    System.out.println(l);
    System.out.println(v1);
  }
}
[]
