getting values from linkedHashMap

[kavuri]

I have a scenario in my project where i need a collection which don't accept dulicate values and orderd.Then i apparently went for LinkedHashMap.But while i getting values from map i used map.keySet() to get the keys.Thst keys were unordred as set was unordered.
How can we get the values from LinkedHashMap in insertion order

How can we get the values from LinkedHashMap in insertion order

Are you sure that you did not get the keys in the insertion order?
By any chance, have you used this constructor with the last argument as "true". If yes, then the map will have entries in the access order.

Dear Vamsi,

could you please better explain your task? You say
1)

i need a collection which don't accept dulicate values and orderd

......in this case ordering is a property given by the Comparable interface

2)

How can we get the values from LinkedHashMap in insertion order

...... in this case LinkedHasMap work as you ask (anyway same key will remain in the same position not promoted in a higher position)

so, before of all, which are your needs?

Actually, this sounds like you might want to use a LinkedHash*Set* instead.
