HashMaps?

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

Hi,
I am trying to use a hashmap in freemarker, i make the forumid the key value and a list of topics for the value. I have tried using the normal hashmap in java and its not working, do i have to use a freemarker implementation such as SimpleHash? With that I cannot use an int for the key....Anybody have any experience using hashmaps with freemarker? Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you!

It is simple as

Map m = new HashMap();

m.put("key1", "value1");

this.context.put("myMap", m);

and then, in the template, you do

${myMap.get("key1")}

You cannot call myMap.get(100) from the template because "100" is not an object for this purposes.
