Map map = ...;
Bar bar = new Bar();
map.put("^http://foo.bar*",bar);
Bar bar2 = (Bar)map.get("http://foo.bar/bam";);
get("...") would return the bar object. Of course, this could match multiple values, as such get("...") could return the first value encountered or a Collection of all the matches encountered.
Collection bars = (Collection)map.get("http://foo.bar/bam";);
Iterator iter = bars.iterator();
Bar bar2 = (Bar)iter.next();Any ideas on how I can throw this together using Commons Collections as a basis? I can live with just >=j2sdk1.4 compatibility. Is this something Commons Collections would like to have available?
