Serializing a tree map every one minute

[kuki]

public class StoreMessage extends Thread {
private static int timeToRun = 60000; // 1 minute
public static Map <Long,String[]> map1=new TreeMap<Long,String[]>()
public static void main(String args[])throws Exception{

long runUntilMillis = System.currentTimeMillis() + timeToRun;
		while (true) {
		    long now = System.currentTimeMillis();
		    if (now >= runUntilMillis) {
		       break;
		    }
		    long precise_time=TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toNanos(System.currentTimeMillis())+(System.nanoTime()-start_nanotime);
		    map1.put(precise_time, args);
               }
           returning();
	 
	}
	
	public static byte[] returning()throws Exception
	{
		return serializer.serialize(map1);
		
	}
	
}

public class serializer {
	//serializes an object and returns a byte array
	public static byte[] serialize(Object map) throws IOException 
	  {
        ByteArrayOutputStream b = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        ObjectOutputStream o = new ObjectOutputStream(b);
        o.writeObject(map);
        return b.toByteArray();
      }
	
	//de-serialization of the byte array and returns an object  
	public static Object toObject (byte[] bytes)
	{
	  Object obj = null;
	  try 
	   {
	    ByteArrayInputStream bis = new ByteArrayInputStream (bytes);
	    ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream (bis);
	    obj = ois.readObject();
	   }
	  catch (Exception ex) { }
	  return obj;
    }
}

I have a class Message and its object message which are passed to the class store message. The "message" objects are string objects passed as command-line arguments. For example "hi" "hello" "good day" -- these are 3 command-line arguments which as passed to this class as Message objects. In this StoreMessage class, i expect it to store all the messages it receives in one minute to a tree map and after a minute has passed, create a new tree map and serialize the previous map and return it to another class which calls for the byte[].
The problem faced here is, the calling class is not receiving the byte[]. Also when i tried printing the map using SOP statement after the while loop, it does not print it and inside the loop when i did the same, i noticed, in my map each of the message is stored more than 5-6 times. Why is the loop spinning this way?Please help

Can you make a small simple program that compile, executes and shows the problem?

[kuki]

I didn't get you Sir..

[Norm]

Create a program that compiles, executes and shows the problem. Post the code for that program here so we can copy it to our computers, compile it, execute it and see the problem.

[kuki]

Sir, this is that code...

[Norm]

this is that code...

Where have you posted code that will compile and execute and show the problem?
For example where is the main() method?

Done editing Sir..

Don't edit your posts after there are responses, except maybe to correct a spelling mistake, as that makes responses lose their relevance and makes the thread difficult to follow.

Post a new response instead.

The code you have posted does not compile. I get 17 errors.
