Is there a way to get a list of specific filtered keys inside a properties file in java?

I wrote a MapFilter class to do this for me:

/*
 * Note that all access through the filter reference the underlying Map so
 * adding to a MapFilder results in additions to the Map.
 */
public class MapFilter<T> implements Map<String, T> {
  // The enclosed map -- could also be a MapFilter.
  final private Map<String, T> map;
  // Use a TreeMap for predictable iteration order.
  // Store Map.Entry to reflect changes down into the underlying map.
  // The Key is the shortened string. The entry.key is the full string.
  final private Map<String, Map.Entry<String, T>> entries = new TreeMap<String, Map.Entry<String, T>>();
  // The prefix they are looking for in this map.
  final private String prefix;

  public MapFilter(Map<String, T> map, String prefix) {
    // Store my backing map.
    this.map = map;
    // Record my prefix.
    this.prefix = prefix;
    // Build my entries.
    rebuildEntries();
  }

  public MapFilter(Map<String, T> map) {
    this(map, "");
  }

  private synchronized void rebuildEntries() {
    // Start empty.
    entries.clear();
    // Build my entry set.
    for (Map.Entry<String, T> e : map.entrySet()) {
      String key = e.getKey();
      // Retain each one that starts with the specified prefix.
      if (key.startsWith(prefix)) {
        // Key it on the remainder.
        String k = key.substring(prefix.length());
        // Entries k always contains the LAST occurrence if there are multiples.
        entries.put(k, e);
      }
    }

  }

  @Override
  public String toString() {
    StringBuilder s = new StringBuilder("MapFilter (" + prefix + ") of " + map + " containing ").append(entrySet());
    return s.toString();
  }

  // Constructor from a properties file.
  public MapFilter(Properties p, String prefix) {
    // Properties extends HashTable<Object,Object> so it implements Map.
    // I need Map<String,T> so I wrap it in a HashMap for simplicity.
    this(new HashMap<String, T>((Map) p), prefix);
  }

  // Helper to fast filter the map.
  public MapFilter<T> filter(String prefix) {
    // Wrap me in a new filter.
    return new MapFilter<T>(this, prefix);
  }

  // Count my entries.
  public int size() {
    return entries.size();
  }

  // Are we empty.
  public boolean isEmpty() {
    return entries.isEmpty();
  }

  // Is this key in me?
  public boolean containsKey(Object key) {
    return entries.containsKey(key);
  }

  // Is this value in me.
  public boolean containsValue(Object value) {
    // Walk the values.
    for (Map.Entry<String, T> e : entries.values()) {
      if (value.equals(e.getValue())) {
        // Its there!
        return true;
      }
    }
    return false;
  }

  // Get the referenced value - if present.
  public T get(Object key) {
    return get(key, null);
  }

  // Get the referenced value - if present.
  public T get(Object key, T dflt) {
    Map.Entry<String, T> e = entries.get((String)key);
    return e != null ? e.getValue() : dflt;
  }

  // Add to the underlying map.
  public T put(String key, T value) {
    T old = null;
    // Do I have an entry for it already?
    Map.Entry<String, T> entry = entries.get(key);
    // Was it already there?
    if (entry != null) {
      // Yes. Just update it.
      old = entry.setValue(value);
    } else {
      // Add it to the map.
      map.put(prefix + key, value);
      // Rebuild.
      rebuildEntries();
    }
    return old;
  }

  // Get rid of that one.
  public T remove(Object key) {
    // Do I have an entry for it?
    Map.Entry<String, T> entry = entries.get((String)key);
    if (entry != null) {
      entries.remove(key);
      // Change the underlying map.
      return map.remove(prefix + key);
    }
    return null;
  }

  // Add all of them.
  public void putAll(Map<? extends String, ? extends T> m) {
    for (Map.Entry<? extends String, ? extends T> e : m.entrySet()) {
      put(e.getKey(), e.getValue());
    }
  }

  // Clear everything out.
  public void clear() {
    // Just remove mine. This does not clear the underlying map.

      map.remove(prefix + key);
