Re: ConcurrentModificationException

The code for mergeAndSort is quite messy . It looks like this

private List<Result> mergeAndSort(List list, List otherList,String
engine)
    {
        Collection temp = new ArrayList(list);
        Collection temporary = new ArrayList(otherList);

        for(Iterator li = list.iterator(); li.hasNext();)
        {

            Result res = (Result)li.next();
            String url = res.getURL();
            String t = res.getTitle();
            int position = res.getPosition();
            for(Iterator y = otherList.iterator(); y.hasNext();)
            {
                Result result = (Result)y.next();
                String URL = result.getURL();
                String tit = result.getTitle();
                int pos = result.getPosition();
                if(URL.equals(url)||tit.equals(t))
                {
                    res.setFoundon(engine);
                    res.setPosition(Math.min(position,pos));
                    otherList.remove(result);
                   // y.remove();
                    break;
                }
            }
            mergedResults.add(res);
        }

        for(Iterator li = otherList.iterator(); li.hasNext();)
        {
            Result res = (Result)li.next();
            mergedResults.add(res);
        }

        Collections.sort(mergedResults);
        return mergedResults;
    }

But even when I change the line otherList.remove(result) to
y.remove(result) .I still get the exception. It has me stumped.
