map.remove... How do I get it to work?

807588Aug 5 2009 — edited Aug 5 2009

hi all!

I have a quick question that may be impossible.

I have a map object (myMap) that is populated with key value pairs

Im trying to remove a key, based on its String value (as opposed to its key value)

when I call

myMap.remove("myName"); //

I get the error:
incompatible types
found : java.lang.Object
required: java.lang.String

i tried casting it to an object - which obviously failed, but how can I get this to work?!?!
