Java collection retrieve object in reverse insertion order - collections

Question

I want to retrive object in reverse insertion order.
For example i have collection object where i have inserted following object
mango
apple
orange
while retriving it should come in reverse insert order i.e orange,apple,mango and this collection class should now allow duplicate object also. Is there any inbuilt API
is there in JDK 1.6 to do this?otherwise please tell me the logic to implement to do this.

Answer 1

Go for java.util.Stack which uses First in Last out policy. See docs for Stack
But read this too

Answer 2

Here is a example for you. I hope this will help you.
public class ReverseCollection {
ArrayList<String> al = new ArrayList<String>();
//add elements to the ArrayList
public static void main(String args[]){
ReverseCollection rc = new ReverseCollection();
rc.createList();
System.out.println(" ------ simple order ---------");
rc.print();
Collections.reverse(rc.getAl());
System.out.println(" ------ reverse order -------- ");
rc.print();
}
private void print() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
for (int i = 0; i < al.size(); i++) {
System.out.println(al.get(i));
}
}
public ArrayList<String> getAl() {
return al;
}
public void setAl(ArrayList<String> al) {
this.al = al;
}
private void createList() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
al.add("JAVA");
al.add("C++");
al.add("PERL");
al.add("PHP");
}
}
here I have used a inbuilt method of collectionc that is reverse
Note that this method will change in original variable value.
