How to use @EqualsAndHashCode With Include – Lombok

The Include annotation is used on the member(s) you want to include in the equals and hashCode methods. If you want to specify exactly which members should be used (instead of the default of all non-static non-transient members), you could use the onlyExplicitlyIncluded = true option in the @EqualsAndHashCode annotation: @EqualsAndHashCode(onlyExplicitlyIncluded = true) @Table(name = … Read more

Objects.equals and Object.equals

The difference is the Objects.equals() considers two nulls to be “equal”. The pseudo code is: if both parameters are null or the same object, return true if the first parameter is null return false return the result of passing the second parameter to the equals() method of the first parameter This means it is “null … Read more

Equals(item, null) or item == null

There’s no simple answer for this question. Anyone who says always use one or the other is giving you poor advice, in my opinion. There are actually several different methods you can call to compare object instances. Given two object instances a and b, you could write: Object.Equals(a,b) Object.ReferenceEquals(a,b) a.Equals(b) a == b These could … Read more

What’s the best strategy for Equals and GetHashCode?

Domain-Driven Design makes the distinction between Entities and Value Objects. This is a good distinction to observe since it guides how you implement Equals. Entities are equal if their IDs equal each other. Value Objects are equal if all their (important) constituent elements are equal to each other. In any case, the implementation of GetHashCode … Read more

Is there a complete IEquatable implementation reference?

Implementing IEquatable<T> for a Value Type Implementing IEquatable<T> for a value type is a little bit different than for a reference type. Let’s assume we have the Implement-Your-Own-Value-Type archetype, a Complex number struct. public struct Complex { public double RealPart { get; set; } public double ImaginaryPart { get; set; } } Our first step … Read more

Force a class to override the .equals method

No, you can’t. What you can do, however, is use an abstract base class instead of an interface, and make equals() abstract: abstract class Command { // put other methods from Command interface here public abstract boolean equals(Object other); public abstract int hashCode(); } Subclasses of Command must then provide their own equals and hashCode … Read more
