Hi,
I am giving you a collective answer. Yes you can use any
object as key in hashmap. But if you r sure that u will be
using diferent objects as key then u dont ve to overide
anything. But if you are going to use same object as key
then you need to override hashcode and equals method. Be
sure that your equals method returns false if you need to
use the object as key.
But this is tricky 1 and in live enviroment its not needed :-)

yes, we can place any object as key value but that object
must and should implement the hashcode method.

Hi Ramarao,
Its not necessary to override hashCode() since hashcode is
default generated for every object. Please try my example n
check it by urself

Yes we can use object as the key
person p = new person();
HashMap m = new HashMap()
m.put(p,"mysqlf");

object as key twice :-)
