org.miamm.soapmmil.engine.MapToMany
- Direct Known Subclasses:
- ServiceTable
- public abstract class MapToMany
- extends java.lang.Object
An object that maps keys to values. A MapToMany cannot contain
duplicate keys; BUT unlike Maps, each key can map to any number of
values.
FIXME: if i really gave a damn, i would make this an interface,
and create an abstract class called "MapToCollection" which
implements this interface

Important difference
Returns null if and only if the MapToMany contains no mapping for
this key.
containsKey
public boolean containsKey(java.lang.Object key)
- Returns
true if this map contains a mapping for the
specified key. More formally, returns true if and only if this
map contains at a mapping for a key k such that (key==null ?
k==null : key.equals(k))
