[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - default equals() doesn't behave as expected for javaBean com

[matt.drees]

I'm not sure whether this is a bug or not, but it occupied a chunk of my time trying to debug this, and I thought others should be aware of it.

The javassist proxy for javaBeans components interferes with the default equals() method.  After some interceptions, something like instance_javassist.equals(instance) is called, which fails, because they're different instances.

You can see this with something like this (which fails):

  | public class PingTest extends SeamTest {
  | 
  | 	@Test
  | 	public void test() throws Exception {
  | 		new FacesRequest() {
  | 			@Override
  | 			protected void invokeApplication() {
  | 				//call action methods here
  | 				Ping ping = (Ping) getValue("#{ping}");
  | 				Collection<Ping> pingSet = new ArrayList<Ping>();
  | 				pingSet.add(ping);
  | 				assert ping.equals(ping);
  | 			}
  | 		}.run();
  | 	}	
  | }
  | 


  | @Name("ping")
  | public class Ping {
  | 	
  |     @Logger private Log log;
  | 	
  |     @In FacesMessages facesMessages;
  |     
  |     public void ping()
  |     {
  |         log.info("ping.ping() action called");
  |         facesMessages.add("ping");
  |     }
  | 	
  | 	
  | }
  | 

If it's a bug, I'll file it in jira.
