new ConcurrentHashMap of new ConcurrentHashMap

Question

I'm trying to initialize a ConcurrentHashMap of ConcurrentHashMaps with

private final ConcurrentHashMap<
    String, 
    ConcurrentHashMap<String, Double>
> myMulitiConcurrentHashMap = new ConcurrentHashMap<
    String, 
    new ConcurrentHashMap<String, Double>()
>();

but javac gives

HashMapper.java:132: error: illegal start of type
    new ConcurrentHashMap<String, Double>()
    ^
HashMapper.java:132: error: '(' or '[' expected
    new ConcurrentHashMap<String, Double>()
        ^
HashMapper.java:132: error: ';' expected
    new ConcurrentHashMap<String, Double>()

pointing to the second new.

How can myMulitiConcurrentHashMap be newly initialized properly?

Answer 1

By the way, Java 7 has a more concise syntax now (the "diamond"):

private final 
   ConcurrentHashMap<String, ConcurrentHashMap<String, Double>>
      myMulitiConcurrentHashMap =
         new ConcurrentHashMap<>();

You should be able to use interfaces on the left hand side, too:

private final 
   ConcurrentMap<String, ConcurrentMap<String, Double>>
      myMulitiConcurrentHashMap =
         new ConcurrentHashMap<>();
