          extended by cz.cuni.amis.utils.maps.LazyMapMap<PRIMARY_KEY,SECONDARY_KEY,ITEM>
Type Parameters:
PRIMARY_KEY -
SECONDARY_KEY -
ITEM -
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Cloneable, Map<PRIMARY_KEY,Map<SECONDARY_KEY,ITEM>>

public abstract class LazyMapMap<PRIMARY_KEY,SECONDARY_KEY,ITEM>
extends HashMap<PRIMARY_KEY,Map<SECONDARY_KEY,ITEM>>

Map containing other maps. Whenever a map under some key is requested and does not exists, the HashMapMap automatically creates new one.

The implementation is unsynchronized, created maps are synchronized (just iteration over the inner-map must be synchronized by the user as described in Java(tm) documentation).
