Typical code is to create an explicit method to add to the list  and create the ArrayList on the fly when adding   Note the synchronization so the list only gets created once    Override public synchronized boolean addToList String key  Item item       Collection lt Item gt  list   theMap get key      if  list    null           list   new ArrayList lt Item gt         or  if you prefer  some other List  a Set  etc          theMap put key  list             return list add item
