problem in user define Comparator

[ketandba]

i have problem in my user define comparator.
************
public interface MyComparator {

public int compare(Object obj1, Object obj2);
}

************

public class CreateTreeMap implements MyComparator{

public CreateTreeMap (){

String name1 ;
String name2;

String clientNameArray [] = {"X","i","b","A","C","y"};
String valueArray [] = {"one","two","three","four","five","six"};

TreeMap map_tree = new TreeMap();

for (int i=0; i<6; i++){
name1 = clientNameArray;
map_tree.put(name1, valueArray);
}

}


public int compare(Object obj1, Object obj2 ){
String name1 = (String)obj1;
String name2 = (String)obj2;
name1 = name1.toLowerCase();
name2 = name2.toLowerCase();
return name1.compareToIgnoreCase (name2) ;

}// end compare


}// end treeMap class

**********testCreatTreeMap*********
public class TestCreateTreeMap {
public static void main(String [] args) {

TestCreateTreeMap testCreateTreeMap = new TestCreateTreeMap();
testCreateTreeMap.makeClientTreeMap();
}
public void makeClientTreeMap(){
// here i get the error ----- The constructor TrrMap(CreateTreeMap) is undefined...(below line)
SortedMap smp = new TreeMap(new CreateTreeMap()); // at this line (E R R O R --- The constructor TrrMap(CreateTreeMap) is undefined
// -----above --- line
smp.put("X", "one");
smp.put("a", "two");
smp.put("y", "three");
smp.put("b", "four");

System.out.println("Sorted TreeMap on key");
Iterator iter1 =
smp.keySet().iterator();
while (iter1.hasNext()) {
System.out.println(iter1.next());
}

}
}

********end ******

One Constructor expects a Comparator as Argument.
Your Class implements MyComparator, which isn't Comparator (or derived from it).

Try

public class CreateTreeMap implements Comparator

and remove your MyComparator.

And it's a JDK-question, better suited in
