Hashtable vs Hashmap for Locking

[amitplace]

Hi Everybody
I have a doubt regarding choice for Hashtable or synchronized(new Hashmap()) in Locking.
Both have some advantages as well as disadvantages
Hashtable is already synchronized but its a bit slow.
On the other hand Hashmap needs to be synchronized though its very fast.
Pls guide me as which one should i use in FBN project ?

I don't The answer is, as far as I'm concerned, "neither". Look carefully at the algorithms you are going to use when locking and unlocking records and ask yourself: is a pre-synchronized data structure going to do the job, or do you need to do your own synchronization?
