What happened when you tried? The answer is of course: yes you can. For example, it's pretty common to store objects in a map based on some sort of ID that can be retrieved from the object itself: map.put(object.getId(), object).

Assuming the second line is map.put(2, object2), and by "overiding" you mean "overwriting" in the sense that your map only contains the second mapping: the only way it will overwrite the first mapping is when 1 is equal to 2 (which obviously isn't the case for ints).

Yes I can create a map with the syntax map(obj.attrib, obj)actually my code messed up due to one another assumption. Anyway thanks for your reply
