Hash Table

[Hari Haran]

Hi All,
I am fetching a list of all the Countries and their keys from the database.
The select query is sorted by country name alphabetically.
But when I use the following code the result is an unsorted list of countries.
Any help is appreciated ASAP.
Following is the code sample:
erdManager e = new erdManager();
Hashtable ht = e.getList("Country_Key");

Enumeration enum1 = ht.elements();
Enumeration enum2 = ht.keys();
String str1;
String str2;
while(enum1.hasMoreElements() && enum2.hasMoreElements())
{
str1 = (String)enum1.nextElement();
str2 = (String)enum2.nextElement();
System.out.println(str1+"-"str2);
}

The problem is caused by your use of Hashtable. It sorts objects placed in it by the HashCode of the key Object. Look over the Collections Framework and choice a differnet Collection type which will give you the behavior you want. Possibly TreeSet.

Thanx Carl I will try that.
