Easy One?: Syntax to return hashtable from a method? 1

[CrystalVisualBOracle]

Hi. I'll apologize up front for this question as I'm sure it's a simple one. I'm extremely new to JSP, Java classes etc.

My question is how can I return a hashtable from a method? In all of the examples I've found, the class which establishes and fills the hashtable is declared public so all of the other methods can see the hashtable. I would prefer to pass the hashtable to the calling object. Does anyone know the syntax for this?

ie/ Return HashtableName[]?

Thanks in Advance,

Do you mean like this? :


Hashtable myMethod(Object o)
{
Hashtable h = new Hashtable();
...
return h;
}

Yep Thank You MetalEye! That was even easier that I thought. I think I've been going around in circles so long that things appear harder than they really are. I'm glad tomorrow's Friday

Thanks Again,

u'd better return Cleection instead of Hashtable. let the caller cast it if it wanna.
