Unlike collection types such as Vector or List, Map (HashTable or
HashMap) accesses a value by a key. If we want to retrieve all the
values that have been put in a Map, one of simple ways to do that is
employing a Collection or plus an Iterator, here is the sample code
(just retrieve vaules, skip keys), assuming there is a variable:
HashMap<String, <ComplexDataType>> links
Collection c = links.value();
Vector<ComplexDataType> v = new Vector<ComplexDataType>(c);
for(int i = 0; i< v.size(); i++)
{
??? ComplexDataType tempData = (ComplexDataType)v.get(i);
???
dosomethingwith(tempData);
}
P.S. Map provides three views of map: keySet, entrySet and values collection, we can use any of them .
