In case anyone is curious, I think CHM disallows null values so that putIfAbsent() can work efficiently. Hashtable’s restriction is probably just because it was written 11 years ago :-) From: tc-dev-boun...@lists.terracotta.org [mailto:tc-dev-boun...@lists.terracotta.org] On Behalf Of Tim Eck Sent: Saturday, January 31, 2009 10:21 AM To: tc-dev@lists.terracotta.org Subject: Re: [tc-dev] Why are null values illegal in ConcurrentStringMap?
