How to print values in a HashMap

Hi

I am new to Java

I am using a HashMap where key is a String and the Value is again a HashMap..

Firstly can I use it this way ...If not could you please suggest an alternative...

If I can use it ...

I am unable to print the values in the HashMap..

Here "map" is a HasMap I am using..

and I used

map.put("name",secondMap);

My code is

public void printMap(Map map)

{

Set keys = map.keySet();

Iterator keyIter = keys.iterator();

while (keyIter.hasNext())

{

Object key = keyIter.next();

Object value = map.get(key);

// Here the value is again a HashMap

HashMap valuesMap=(HashMap)value;

System.out.println("KEY" + key.toString() );

if(valuesMap!=null)

{

Set set = valuesMap.keySet();

Iterator setit = set.iterator();

while (setit.hasNext())

{

Object keyinMap=setit.next();

Object valueinMap=valuesMap.get(key);

System.out.print("value is"+valueinMap);

}

}

}

}

Can anybody help me in this regard.

Thanks in advance
