I have read some articles on hash map, to eliminate duplicate user defined keys(For ex. Employee object) we need to implement hashCode() and equals() methods at user defined class, Right? . Now my question is how to implement these two methods and how it works at run time?.

Some googling yielded these results among many others:

Java theory and practice: Hashing it out @ IBM
Java hashCode() @ Wikipedia
