String[] array = {"a","b","c"};
List<String> list = Arrays.asList(array);
list.add("d");
list.remove(0);

add或remove時丟擲java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException異常的原因是因為，Arrays.asList()方法返回的物件是Array內部類ArrayList物件(而不是java.util.ArrayList的物件),而這個內部類繼承了AbstractList類，但是並未實現add和remove方法,AbstractList類中的add和remove方法預設會throw UnsupportedOperationException

這就是丟擲java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException異常的原因。原始碼如下：

Array內部類ArrayList原始碼：
