MultiHashMap is the default implementation of the MultiMap interface.

A MultiMap is a Map with slightly different semantics. Putting a value into the map will add the value to a Collection at that key. Getting a value will return a Collection, holding all the values put to that key.

This implementation uses an ArrayList as the collection. The internal storage list is made available without cloning via the get(Object) and entrySet() methods. The implementation returns null when there are no values mapped to a key.

For example:

MultiMap mhm = new MultiHashMap();
mhm.put(key, "A");
mhm.put(key, "B");
mhm.put(key, "C");
List list = (List) mhm.get(key);

list will be a list containing "A", "B", "C".

Constructor that copies the input map creating an independent copy.

This method performs different behaviour depending on whether the map specified is a MultiMap or not. If a MultiMap is specified, each internal collection is also cloned. If the specified map only implements Map, then the values are not cloned.

NOTE: From Commons Collections 3.1 this method correctly copies a MultiMap to form a truly independent new map. NOTE: From Commons Collections 3.2 this method delegates to the newly added putAll(Map) override method.

Params:
  • mapToCopy – a Map to copy
