HashMaps will rearrange stuff internally and will NOT preserve the original order (see the j2se javadocs for details).
There is a class in commons-collections (which should already be on your classpath as struts (1.1 anyway) uses this library) called SequencedHashMap - try using this instead as it preserves the order in which stuff was added to the hashmap and uses this order in its iterator. (This was introduced in commons-collections 2.0 so if your using an older version you may need to upgrade the jar with the latest. Heres the javadoc for it: http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/collections/api/org/apache/commons/collect ions/SequencedHashMap.html -----Original Message----- From: O_Parthasarathy Kesavaraj [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 8 July 2003 13:17 To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: Urgent!!!Sorting Problem while loading from HashMap Hi I am loading a html:select box with property as the key in the HashMap( ID corresponding to the value which is displayed) and labelproperty as the value.When i am fetching from the database i am sorting by the value and then only loading in the HashMap.But when i see the select box the values are not sorted..which makes my form not so userfriendly...Kindly help to display sorted when i am loading from a HashMap...(When i load using an araylist it displays the values in the order i have stored and there is no sorting problem) Thanks in Advance Regds Partha --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
