Message:

Printing matching Map??

Posted by Joseph on October 03, 2001 at 8:58 PM

Hi all,

I have created an array of HashMaps with the following values:
HashMap map[0] = new HashMap;
map[0].put("SSN", "999999999");
map[0].put("FNAME", "XYZ");
map[0].put("LNAME", "ABC");
map[0].put("ADDRESS", "123");

HashMap map[1] = new HashMap;
map[1].put("SSN", "1234567890");
map[1].put("FNAME", "DEF");
map[1].put("LNAME", "GHI");
map[0].put("ADDRESS", "456");

and so on..

I am trying to test my code so that when the user searches by SSN or LNAME or by both, it searches through all the maps
and returns the matching map. However, I am having trouble getting the map to be printed. How do I do it?

Here is a part of my test code:

input.put("SSN","1234567890");
Map retMap = (Map) result.getResponse();
printMap(retMap);

input.put("LNAME","");
retMap = (Map) result.getResponse();
printMap(retMap);

input.put("SSN","");
input.put("LNAME","");
retMap = (Map) result.getResponse();
printMap(retMap);

//private void printMap(Map map)
//{
//}
