I disagree. The documented behavior is that they can return in any order when walking the map. And that order has changed between jdk versions. But I have found that for a given jdk version, if I put the same data in in the same order, it comes out in the same order - which is very useful for junit tests.
And if it was random, that would mean that the hashmap was either purposely using a random number or had uninitialized variables. Correctly written software generally is repeatable. - dave ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paulo Soares" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'David Thielen'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "itext" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, January 24, 2003 8:13 AM Subject: RE: [iText-questions] Creating different files each time I run it > That's documented behavior for hash maps. > > Best Regards, > Paulo Soares > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: David Thielen [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Sent: Friday, January 24, 2003 14:51 > > To: itext > > Subject: Re: [iText-questions] Creating different files each time I > > run it > > > > yep - it's a font.
