How to do what with a Hashtable? Can you explain what you are trying to do?

the problem is:
one hashtable1( String IP , Object clientInfo)and another hashtable(Interger id, String IP).

if the client passes IP and ClientInfo,then how to add to and retrieve from and remove from hashtable1.

the same operation with the second hashtable.
please give some code.

I'm not exactly sure what you are asking. If you need help understanding how to use the HashMap class and other Collections, then you should check out the Collections Trail from Sun's Java Tutorial. This will at least give you a basic understanding of the methods available in different collection classes, including HashMap. Also, if this doesn't help solve your problem directly, then you will have the terminology to help you ask more questions.

2. Hashtable2(int id, String IP)

How to add and remove info to first table by using IP
&
How to add and remove IP from second table by using id(this is primitive datatype).

please send some skeleton.

To add and remove from a hashtable, you can use the put() and remove() methods, respectively. You can check out the documentation in more detail
here.

As for primative, you will have to wrap the int in an Integer object, prior to a put().
