Matej Novotny commented on CDI-630:
-----------------------------------
So, if I get this right, then we are basically stuck here because our {{hashCode}} impl
has to be alligned with that defined by {{java.lang.annotation.Annotation}}?
And the reason behind that is that people are able to use both approaches
({{class.getAnnotation}} and {{AnnotationLiteral}}) and the results would then differ.
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
Fix For: 2.0 (discussion)
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.
