Hi,
i need one help in HashTable. see the below example

/*

package kcbchatapplication;
 
import java.util.Hashtable;
import java.util.Iterator;
 
/**

public class HashTableTest {
 
    /** Creates a new instance of HashTableTest */
    private static Hashtable table;
    public HashTableTest() {
        table=new Hashtable();
    }
    private void AddTwo()
    {
        table.put("first","First");
        table.put("second","Second");
    }
    private void AddThree()
    {
        table.put("three","Three");
    }
 
    public static void main(String a[])
    {
        HashTableTest test=new HashTableTest();
        test.AddTwo();
      //  Enumeration en=table.elements();
 
        for (Iterator it=table.keySet().iterator(); it.hasNext(); ) {
        Object key = it.next();
        Object value = table.get(key);
        System.out.println("Values:" +value.toString());
         }
 test.AddThree();
   for (Iterator it1=table.keySet().iterator(); it1.hasNext(); ) {
        Object key = it1.next();
        Object value = table.get(key);
        System.out.println("Values:" +value.toString());
         }
    /*    while(en.hasMoreElements())
        {
           System.out.println("Values:" +en.nextElement().toString());
        }
        test.AddThree();
         Enumeration en1=table.elements();
        while(en1.hasMoreElements())
        {
           System.out.println("Values:" +en1.nextElement().toString());
        }*/
    }
 
    public Hashtable getTable() {
        return table;
    }
}

while running this example i get the out put like this,
Values:Second
Values:First
Values:Second
Values:Three
Values:First
But my need is,this will be look as following,
Values:Second
Values:First
Values:Second
Values:First
Values:Three

How to do that?

Have a look at the LinkedHashMap class instead; a HashTable can't do what
you want it to do.

Simply replace the HashTable references in your code by LinkedHashMap
references. Both classes are members of the Collections framework.
