Answer / jyotsna gupta
1. Hashtable is synchronized where as hashmap is not.
2. Hashmap can contains null values as the keys and as well as values.But Hashtable dose not allow null values as keys and values.
3. Another difference is that iterator in the HashMap is fail-safe while the enumerator for the Hashtable isn't. If you change the map while iterating, you'll know.
4. Hashmap is faster than Hashtable.

Answer / chandan
The key difference between the two is that access to the
Hashtable is synchronized on the table while access to the
HashMap isn't. You can add it, but it isn't there by default.
Another difference is that iterator in the HashMap is
fail-safe while the enumerator for the Hashtable isn't. If
you change the map while iterating, you'll know.
And, a third difference is that HashMap permits null values
in it, while Hashtable doesn't.

Answer / tarun kumar
class Hashtable was part of the original java.util and is a
concreate implementation of a Dictionary class. In java2 it
is reengineering it so that it also implements the Map
interface.
Thus it is now integrated into the collections framework.
class HashMap implements Map interface.
Because, Hashtable is a concreate implementation of
Dictionary class, is Legacy class, all legacy classes are
synchronized. So,thats why Hashtable is sunchronized.
I can say that both Hashtable and HashMap are same, accept
synchronization.
