Abstract
A method and system create and use a generic container as a data structure used in a software program. A selected data structure may be specified at start-up time or run-time using a mapping table that tracks the specified data structures for each generic container used by the program. Existing data structures are abstracted to a generic interface for use with the container. The program interacts with the generic container using the generic interface, which allows the container to add, delete, and look up data stored in the container and to retrieve a key used by the container. A program uses an object factory to create an instance of a generic container having the generic interface. At run-time, the object factory refers to the mapping table to determine which specific data structure is used for each generic container.
