HashTable superclass as value

I'm having some problems doing an HashTable in Java with an Object as value. So, I have a superclass called "Bonus" and I got some subclasses called HammerBonus, BombBonus, etc. I have created my HashTable like this:

private Hashtable<String, Bonus> hashBonusElement= new Hashtable<String, Bonus>();

But now I cant add any subclass as a value, for exemple:

hashBonusElement.put(Hammer.class.getSimpleName(), HammerBonus);

It says that "HammerBonuscannot be resolved to a variable".

I have tried somethings like "(Bonus)HammerBonus", "HammerBonus.class" but nothing works... Is there anything that I can do for make it work?

Thank you in advance for your help!

That is because you added the Class name as a value to the HashMap..

try this

hashBonusElement.put(Hammer.class.getSimpleName(), new HammerBonus());

will create a new instance of HammerBonus to add as a value to the HashMap.
