FYI, as of JDK 1.4.2 (maybe before, but at least that version at the
latest) you have LinkedHashMap and LinkedHashSet as well. LinkedHashMap
would fit the bill as well I think, without having to create a
dependency on Commons Collections.

I have been hours at this, going crazy. I am setting up Dynamicly
sized form.
<form-bean name="dynamicHashmapForm"
type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm">
<form-property name="fields" type="java.util.HashMap" />
</form-bean>

" This class makes no guarantees as to the order of the map; in
particular, it does not guarantee that the order will remain constant
over time. "
Any ideas guys as to how to keep it ordered?
TreeMap will do natural/ascending key order (or you can give it a
Comparator):

If you need to retain the order of addition, then LinkedMap (from
Commons Collections) looks useful:
