Java access object like array

Question

In PHP, there is an ArrayAccess interface which allows you to access an object like an array. Is there a Java-equivalant to this? It would be very handy.

thanks

Hashtable ?

Assuming you mean you want to use:

Foo foo = new Foo();
int x = foo[10];

then no, there's nothing like that in Java. Typically you provide a get() method and either put() or set() depending on the situation.
