I have a class defined:

class Transaction{
  private int _id;
  private int _parent;
  private int _account;
  private double _amount;

  //I'm not going to show them all here for space reasons, but
  //I do have all the "setters", "getters" & constructors etc that I need
}

Then I have a hashtable that has all the Transaction objects. I'm trying to figure out a way to search through the Hashtable and return all the transactions with "account" = X (X could be any integer).

Could someone offer some advice as to how I can accomplish this? or if you have a better solution, I'm open to that as well. This app is still in its infancy.

TIA!

P.S. I meant to mention that I originally developed this setup based on my experiences with PHP and MySQL. But it dawned on me last night that I don't have the same search capabiites here. And no--I don't want to connect to the MySQL server to do the searches.

I guess the quick answer is to get an Enumeration of the hashtable, and search through the table looking for you values.

If the table is very large, you might want to look at using SimpleSortingVector to hold the key values, and use this to perform a binary search.
