Building and Iterating Over a LinkedHashMap in Java

Building a Java LinkedHashMap and iterating over it always comes in handy. In a class you can have something like:

private Map myLinks = new LinkedHashMap();
public Map getLinks() { 
  return myLinks; 
}
public void setMyLinks(String key, String value) { 
  this.myLinks.put(key, value); 
}
...
for(int j=0; j<links.getLength(); j++)
{
  setMyLinks( ((Element)links.item(j)).getAttribute("url"), 
              getText(links.item(j)) );
}

Then in a JSP you can do something like:

Map thisMyLinks = ThisState.getMyLinks();
for (Iterator it=thisStateLinks.keySet().iterator(); it.hasNext(); ) 
{
  Object key = it.next();
  Object value = thisStateLinks.get(key);
  out.println("<li><a href=\"" + key.toString() + "\">" + 
               value.toString() + "</a></li>");
}
