[Php-java-bridge-users] Conversion of array to HashMap

[<php...@li...>]

I'm using php-java-bridge-3.1.8, and have run into something really 
confusing when creating
HashMaps.

I have a method in a Java class that accepts a HashMap.  If I create an 
empty HashMap in
php and add elements with put like this:

$h = new java("java.util.HashMap");
$h->put(0 , "Some Text");

...and pass that to my class I can get it's value with get(0) no problem.  
However if I create
the HashMap in php with something like this:

$h = new java("java.util.HashMap", array(0=>"Some Text"));

...and pass that to the java class it wasn't able to get the key 0.  Also, 
trying to use $h->get(0)
within php didn't work either.

What I found is that the key to the resulting HashMap using the latter 
syntax isn't an
Integer 0, but rather an Object of the class 
php.java.bridge.Request$PhpArrayKey.

I see that creating a Vector directly from an array in a similar manner such 
as:

$h = new java("java.util.Vector", array(44.6, 5, 5.6, "some string"));

...works fine, and I get elements with all the expected data types in java.

Is this the expected behavior and possible something I missed in the 
documentation?  It had
me going for hours.  I see that there's at least one other email on the list 
were someone
couldn't read a value with get()...possibly the same issue.

Thanks in advance.

Tom
