How to compare two hashmaps in java?

Question

I have two hash maps like the following:

1.=============Employee=================


Key : 1_10 : Value : 13/04/2012
Key : 1_11 : Value : 18/04/2012
Key : 1_         


        

Answer 1

below is the code which works perfectly, the reason why the comparison failed is the map value is different .

Key : 27 : Value : 27/4/2012, Key : 1_18 : Value : 27/04/2012

if we see the dates, the difference is clearly seen. 27/4/2012 is different from 27/04/2012 since i stored it as a string.

Iterator> holyDayiterator = workingdayMap.entrySet().iterator();

                 while (holyDayiterator.hasNext()) {
                    Map.Entry holiDayEntry = holyDayiterator.next();
                    if(!employeeMap.containsValue((holiDayEntry.getValue()))){
                        System.out.println("works perfect");
                    }
