Alan Mehio commented on COLLECTIONS-237:
----------------------------------------
<quoted-statement>
The value returned for the key is an ArrayList, and not the value of the entry
which was put into the map
</quoted-statement>
What if we overload the method below
public Iterator iterator(Object key)
with
public Iterator iterator() {
return getMap().entrySet().iterator();
}
otherwise I am in favour of point one
<point-one>
1/ We define entrySet as matching keySet and mark this issue WONTFIX.
</point-one>

> MultiValueMap: behavior of entrySet().iterator() is not the expected one
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: COLLECTIONS-237
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COLLECTIONS-237
> Project: Commons Collections
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Map
> Affects Versions: 3.2
> Reporter: Nils Kaiser
>
> The entrySet() method of the MultiValueMap delegates the entrySet() call to
> the decorated map, which is HashMap by default. The default hashmap iterator
> is used, which causes the iterator to return one Map.Entry for every key. The
> value returned for the key is an ArrayList, and not the value of the entry
> which was put into the map.
> The expected behavior would be the iterator to return the whole set of
> entries in the map, which requires iteration over the different array lists
> contained in the decorated map.
