HashMap or Hashtable problem?

Hello all,I'm using HashMap to save key and object.The problem that I have is two of the key and value pairs are saved into same bucket. I tried same code with Hashtable, but same thing is happened.Why this thing is happened?

Hashing functions don't guarantee that buckets will contain ONLY ONE item. Collisions (duplicate hashcodes) can, and will occur, and will result in two or more entries being stored in a bucket.. This is by design.

I can't tell fron your post what you need. Maybe these references will help: http://www.google.com/search?q=how+hashtables+work

It's probably because the two keys are "equal" (i.e. key1.equals(key2) returns true)

I think it would be because they have the same hashcode, but are not equal.

OTOH, maybe the OP misused the term "bucket," in which case ProfStarks may be right.

Is there actually an easy way to tell in which bucket did the Map put your item?
