package require java proc tcljava_hashtable {arrayname javaHashTable} { upvar $arrayname arr java::lock $javaHashTable for {set e [$javaHashTable keys]} {[$e hasMoreElements]} {} { set key [$e nextElement] if {[java::instanceof $key String]} { # Convienence, convert it to a Tcl String... set key [$key toString] } set value [$javaHashTable get $key] if {[java::instanceof $value String]} { # Convienence, convert it to a Tcl String... set value [$value toString] } set arr($key) $value } trace variable arr uwr [list traceHashArray $javaHashTable] } proc traceHashArray {hash name index op} { upvar $name arr switch -- $op { w { $hash put $index $arr($index) } r { set value [$hash get $index] if {[java::instanceof $value String]} { set value [$value toString] } set arr($index) $value } u { java::unlock $hash } } }You can use it on newly created hashtables or existing ones. It also works with any subclass of Hashtable:
# Associate the array 'props' with the Java System Properties. # tcljava_hashtable props [java::call System getProperties] # Show all of the Java system property keys. puts [array names props] # Add a property (in a Tclish manner) # set props(Hacker) "Todd Coram" puts $props(Hacker) # Make sure Java sees it. # puts [java::call System getProperty Hacker]
