There is two sides of this:

client-side. This is the easier part. You can do this manually, but there are already javascript solutions that will render a list of openid providers. Check openid-selector and this jQuery plugin. I personally like the latter more.
server-side. You will have to handle openId authentication. There are multiple java libraries (they are all listed on the openid website). Here is one that I decided to use: openid4java. See this question for my motivation.

Map<String, String> map = ...
for (Map.Entry<String, String> entry : map.entrySet()) {
    System.out.println(entry.getKey() + "/" + entry.getValue());
}

On Java 10+:

for (var entry : map.entrySet()) {
    System.out.println(entry.getKey() + "/" + entry.getValue());
}

Java – How to call one constructor from another in Java

Yes, it is possible:

public class Foo {
    private int x;

    public Foo() {
        this(1);
    }

    public Foo(int x) {
        this.x = x;
    }
}

To chain to a particular superclass constructor instead of one in the same class, use super instead of this. Note that you can only chain to one constructor, and it has to be the first statement in your constructor body.
