Resolution: Won't Fix
Revise javax.enterprise.util.AnnotationLiteral.cachedHashCode
-------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CDI-630
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-630
Project: CDI Specification Issues
Issue Type: Feature Request
Reporter: Martin Kouba
Priority: Optional
Currently, {{AnnotationLiteral.hashCode()}} always returns {{0}} if there are no members
(ignoring annotation type completely). Although it does not break {{Object.hashCode()}}
contract, I believe we should -either return a number based on the annotation type (to
make the annotation literal instances more usable in hash tables) or- simply return zero
and don't cache the value at all.
UPDATE: We may not return a number based on the annotation type because it would break
the {{java.lang.annotation.Annotation.hashCode()}} contract.
