Java Hashmaps in jdk 1.4

Question

Hi All,
I am trying to work out on a previous jdk 1.5 code for hashmap to be converted to jdk 1.4,
public HashMap<String, String> getDispalyLinkUrls() throws SQLException {
     HashMap<String, String> hashMapValues = new HashMap<String, String>();
My code looks like above...
I am getting an error, stating that invalide method declaration and return type required.. Please suggest me, in conversion of my code to jdk 1.4
Many Thanks!!

Hi All,
I am somehow still facin trouble with array list, as it is retrieving only one value or not the appropriate values from the database. Please correct my Hashmap code, wherein I have an object on a jsp, upon which I place the mouse, I should get an object drop down from the database. My JSP code looks like this:
<div id=Menu0 style="position: absolute; border: 1px solid #000000; visibility:hidden; z-ndex: 1">
<table bgcolor=white cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 style="border-collapse: collapse;">
<%
DisplayLinkUrls displayLinkUrl = new DisplayLinkUrls();
HashMap<String, String> hmValues = displayLinkUrl.getDispalyLinkUrls();
for(String strKey :hmValues.keySet()) {
     %>
<tr height=25 onmouseout=menuOut(this,'#ffeecc') onmouseover=menuOver(this,'#FFFFFF')>
<td bgcolor=white>   </td><td align=right>
<a class=asd href="<%=hmValues.get(strKey)%>">  <%=strKey%>  </a>    </td></tr>
<%
%>
</table>
</div>
My Servlet to which it calls when connecting DB looks like this:
     public HashMap<String, String> getDispalyLinkUrls() throws SQLException {
     HashMap<String, String> hashMapValues = new HashMap<String, String>();
     //Set set = hashMapValues.entrySet();
//Iterator i=set.iterator();
          DisplayLinkUrls displayLinkUrl = new DisplayLinkUrls();     
          Statement stmt = displayLinkUrl.getDBConnection().createStatement();
          ResultSet rset = stmt.executeQuery("Select do.link_verbage, do.link_url from dw_user_group dug, dw_profile_object dpo, dw_object do where dug.user_id='AMAHAJAN' and dug.group_id=dpo.group_id and dpo.object_id=do.object_id and do.app_type_code='A' order by do.link_verbage");
          while (rset.next()) {
System.out.println(rset.getString("LINK_VERBAGE"));
hashMapValues.put(rset.getString("link_Verbage"), rset.getString("link_url"));
          stmt.close();
          return hashMapValues;
     public static void main(String args[]) throws SQLException {
     DisplayLinkUrls displayLinkUrl = new DisplayLinkUrls();
for(String url : displayLinkUrl.getDispalyLinkUrls().keySet()) {
System.out.println(url);
// System.out.println(displayLinkUrl.getDispalyLinkUrls().get(url));
Please suggest me.
Many Thanks!!
