Public Method clone

Object clone()

Overrides:

• clone in class AbstractMap

_INSERT_METHOD_SIGNATURE_HERE_

Returns a shallow copy of this Hashmap instance. The keys and values themselves are not cloned.

Example

   HashMap map1 = new HashMap();
   HashMap map2 = new HashMap();
   Integer i = new Integer(0);
   map1.put(i, "value");
   map2 =(HashMap)map1.clone();
   Logger.log("Map1 element: " + map1.get(i));
   Logger.log("Map2 element: " + map2.get(i));
   map1.clear();
   Logger.log("Map1 element: " + map1.get(i));
   Logger.log("Map2 element: " + map2.get(i));

The example above clears the new created map and writes the result to the logger.
