Hello Ted, thanks for the fast response. I understand that simultaneously puts and gets do not cause the exception cause they are synchronized in my class. And my stated code-fragment is the part which wants to delete the entries from the underlying LRUMap. And my code is wrapped in the synchronized block. But i think the LRUMap herselfe also iterates the entries and this maybe happens at the same time when my iterator is checking and trying to delete elements. My class is not implementing the LRUMap but has one LRUMap as a variable. So your solution to override the removeLRU(Entry) methode would not help me....unfortunatelly :-(
For now i really do not know how to solve the problem in an easy way without refractoring the entire code? Any other solutions?
