I'm not sure whether this can be done with commons-collections. 

I need to hook in a collection and return a default value when the
requested key does not exist in the collection. E.g.

Map currency = new HashMap()
{
{
put("DE", "EUR");
put("US", "USD");
}
};

And currency.get("XY") is supposed to return a default value (this may
require additional logic and e.g. may write to the logger that an yet
unsupported ISOCODE was requested).

Can this be done?

Kind regards
Timo
