The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Java Hashmap Sorting

Asked by lcor in Java Standard Tag Library (JSTL) & Server Tags, Java Programming Language

Tags: hashmap, java, sort

I have a sorting issue with a Hashmap.  My constraint is that I MUST use the Hashmap and work with existing code.  I do a database query and place the results in a Hashmap.  When I iterate thru the Hashmap, it loses the original alphabetical sorting done by the database.  So, my problem is that I must sort the results coming out of the Hashmap which is then placed into another class.

Here's the code:

Hashmap hm = (database results)
Iterator it =  hm.keySet().iterator();

while (it.hasNext()) {
    String key = (String) it.next();
    STring value = (String) hm.get(key);
                                                                    <<<------------------I must do alphabetical sorting before
                                                                    <<<-----------------placing results (value) into this other class
    some_other_class.addVAlue(new Integer(value), "title");
}
 
There isn't a great number of values (most a couple hundred) so if another loop is okay.
