Program: How to find user defined objects as a key from LinkedHashMap?


Description:

Below example shows how to search user defined objects as a key from LinkedHashMap. You can achieve this by implementing equals and hashcode methods at the user defined objects.


Code:
package com.java2novice.linkedhashmap;

import java.util.LinkedHashMap;
import java.util.Set;

public class MyObjectKeySearch {

public static void main(String a[]){
		
		LinkedHashMap<Price, String> hm = new LinkedHashMap<Price, String>();
		hm.put(new Price("Banana", 20), "Banana");
		hm.put(new Price("Apple", 40), "Apple");
		hm.put(new Price("Orange", 30), "Orange");
		printMap(hm);
		Price key = new Price("Banana", 20);
		System.out.println("Does key available? "+hm.containsKey(key));
	}
	
	public static void printMap(LinkedHashMap<Price, String> map){
		
		Set<Price> keys = map.keySet();
		for(Price p:keys){
			System.out.println(p+"==>"+map.get(p));
		}
	}
}

class Price{
	
	private String item;
	private int price;
	
	public Price(String itm, int pr){
		this.item = itm;
		this.price = pr;
	}
	
	public int hashCode(){
		System.out.println("In hashcode");
		int hashcode = 0;
		hashcode = price*20;
		hashcode += item.hashCode();
		return hashcode;
	}
	
	public boolean equals(Object obj){
		System.out.println("In equals");
		if (obj instanceof Price) {
			Price pp = (Price) obj;
			return (pp.item.equals(this.item) && pp.price == this.price);
		} else {
			return false;
		}
	}
	
	public String getItem() {
		return item;
	}
	public void setItem(String item) {
		this.item = item;
	}
	public int getPrice() {
		return price;
	}
	public void setPrice(int price) {
		this.price = price;
	}
	
	public String toString(){
		return "item: "+item+"  price: "+price;
	}
}

Output:
item: Apple  price: 40==>Apple
item: Orange  price: 30==>Orange
item: Banana  price: 20==>Banana
Does key available? true

What is servlet context?
The servlet context is an interface which helps to communicate with other servlets. It contains information about the Web application and container. It is kind of application environment. Using the context, a servlet can obtain URL references to resources, and store attributes that other servlets in the context can use.
