RE: [OT] Case insensitive Map keys

[Michael McGrady]

Lord, Freddy, chill.  That is harsh language to someone who is only trying 
to help.  I was tempted to give the same answer, as the question does not 
make much sense to me.  If you want to access something this way, that is 
the only answer really.  So, what else is there to give them?

Navjot,

I believe this is exactly what Guillermo CLEARLY stated he had already 
tried (and is not efficient enough for him).

If you had taken a little bit longer and read carefully, then maybe you'd 
have noticed.

Regards,
Freddy.

Asunto: RE: [OT] Case insensitive Map keys
yes. here it is.

public CIMap extends HashMap
{
        public Object get(String key)
        {
                return super.get(key.toLowerCase());
        }
        public Object put(String key, Object value)
        {
                super.put(key.toLowerCase(),value);
        }
}
This was simple implementation. By the time you ask the Q and wait for
reply. you could have written on your own.
