What about just iterating over hashMap.values() ???

might be this will help you,


java.util.HashMap hashMap = new java.util.HashMap();
String loginid = "Bunty";

hashMap.put(loginid,loginid);
String userid="Bunty";
for(Iterator e = hashMap.keySet().iterator(); e.hasNext();){
String key = e.next().toString();
String value = hashMap.get(key).toString();
if(value.equals(userid)){
System.out.println("--Exit---");
}
}
