I have to provide pagination. I am using the dhtmlXGrid to view the Resultset which is form of an XML.The XML has a large set of records. The grid does not support pagination. So i decided to create my own pagination class. I am creating a Hashmap out of the XML and then i am retriving the particular requested page values from the HashMap.the problem is iterating through the HashMap.Please suggest a better approach to iterate. I thought of converting the HashMap to an array list . can there be any other method for fast retrival

please help

Well i usually use the enumerator , can u check wheter that gives u a faster response

the problem with enumerator is that we need to itearte through the whole Hashmap to get a certain set of values..since its not indexable so the pagination problem has to be loooked in context with the indexes
