how to iterate a hashmap with key hashmap

[Evelina Dimova]

Hello, I need help. I have the following hashmap:
HashMap<HashMap<Dimension, Integer>, String> mapList = new HashMap<HashMap<Dimension, Integer>, String>();

I want to extract Dimesion from the key, where the Integer is "1", and String from the value.

How could I iterate it?
I wrote that, but it doesn't work at the way I expected:

HashMap<Dimension, String> singleValues = new HashMap<Dimension, String>();
for (Map.Entry<HashMap<Dimension, Integer>, String> entry : mapList.entrySet()) {
Iterator iter = entry.getKey().entrySet().iterator();
while (iter.hasNext()) {
Map.Entry<Dimension, Integer> innerEntry = (Map.Entry<Dimension, Integer>) iter.next();
if (innerEntry.getValue().equals(1)) {
singleValues.put(innerEntry.getKey(), entry.getValue());
System.out.println(innerEntry.getKey() + " : " +
entry.getValue());

}
}
}

Thanks in advance

try this . i didnt check this . if any problem try to solve it

    


 HashMap<HashMap><String, Integer>, String> mapList = new HashMap<HashMap><String, Integer>, String>();
			 Set<HashMap><String, Integer>> set = mapList.keySet();
			 for(HashMap<String, Integer> hashMap : set)
			 {
				 Set<Map.Entry><String, Integer>> entry = hashMap.entrySet();
				 for(Map.Entry<String, Integer> mapEntry : entry)
				 {
					 if(mapEntry.getValue().equals(1))
					 {
						 System.out.println("Answare:"+mapList.get(hashMap));
					 }
				 }
			 }

Yeah, it works successfully. With a little change. But I still have a problem with the hashmap. The result I saw at the console is the same and it is repeating many manyyy times. I tought that the problem is with printing because I checked the information that I have already set at tha big hash map:

HashMap<HashMap<Dimension, Integer>, String> mapList = new HashMap<HashMap<Dimension, Integer>, String>();

Thanks for the quick answer!

Moving to Java; this isn't Struts-related.

My first reaction to you key type "HashMap<Dimension, Integer>" was "What the heck..". Have you considered the point that key should be immutable? Is your key contents are final and unmodifiable ? I think, if you will rearrange Dimension, Integer and String a little bit from datastructure point of view, you can have simple and robust design.

Rahul is right. If you put only one more key-value pair into an inner HashMap it's hashCode will change, and it the outer HashMap will look into the wrong bucket.
