<p>
In this example entity objects, rather than key and value
objects, are used for adding and enumerating the records in a
collection. Because fewer classes and objects are involved, adding
and enumerating is done more conveniently and more simply than in
the prior examples.
</p>
<p>
For adding and iterating entities, the collection of entities
returned by
<a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Map.html#values" target="_top">Map.values</a>
is used. In general, when using an entity binding, all Java
collection methods that are passed or returned a value object will
be passed or returned an entity object instead.
</p>
<p>
The <tt class="classname">Sample</tt> class has been changed in this example to add
objects using the
<a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Set.html#add" target="_top">Set.add</a>
method rather than the
<a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Map.html#put" target="_top">Map.put</a>
method that was used in the prior examples. Entity objects are
constructed and passed to
<a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Set.html#add" target="_top">Set.add</a>.

Instead of printing the key/value pairs by iterating over the
<a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Map.html#entrySet" target="_top">Map.entrySet</a>
as done in the prior example, this example
iterates over the entities in the
<a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Map.html#values" target="_top">Map.values</a>
collection.
