Okay. Forgive my comments about proper database care and feeding... usually this list attracts programmers that don't know much about databases. >> map.put(myDataObj, myDataObj)? >> > I thought of that, but there is a lot more data in the object than just > the stuff I need to search on.

If you only use 3 fields for identification, there's no harm in keeping all that data together in a single object. It's not like it uses up any more memory. Actually, you might be saving a bit of memory since you won't need separate key and value objects. >> When in doubt, abstract: write yourself a helper class that bundles all >> this odd logic together.

It's always worth it to read though the entire java.util API. There are some great classes in there. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHYFnP9CaO5/Lv0PARAr/dAJ90FhUTXph1u7lOgnnbjXub1xeu4gCgvLRV cmlvpiSB4wDMR8xOPJve8a0= =GIZT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
