Parameters:

map - The initial Map.

Method Detail

containsValue

public boolean containsValue(Object value)

Check if the map contains the passed value.

Specified by:

containsValue in interface Map

Overrides:

containsValue in class HashMap

Parameters:

value - the value to search for

Returns:

true if the list contains the value

put

public Object put(Object key,
                  Object value)

Add a key, and its value, to the map.

Specified by:

put in interface Map

Overrides:

put in class HashMap

Parameters:

key - the key to set

value - the value to set the key to

Overrides:

clone in class HashMap

Returns:

the cloned map

createCollection

protected Collection createCollection(Collection c)

Creates a new instance of the map value Collection container.

Parameters:

c - the collection to copy

Returns:

new collection
