Hello,

I want to create a HashMap which has a list for each key. Therefore I can store more than one value for each key. (I know this breaks the true use of a hashmap but I want a datastruture that takes one key and hold multiple value)

I thought I would be able to define:

public class MultipleValueHashMap<T, java.util.List<U>> implements Map<T, java.util.List<U>> {

....
}

I would then construct it by "new MultipleValueHashMap<Inteteger, List<String>()"

Unfortunately this does not compile. I think it might be because I am mixing generic types with real types. Am I correct?

Is there a way I can use a map to store more than one value and use generics?

Thanks
