IdentityKey.equals(Object) using == instead of myBean.equals(Object) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-1604 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-1604 Project: Hibernate3 Issue Type: Bug Components: core Environment: Hibernate 3.0.1 Reporter: Joel SCHAAL When trying to remove an instance from the cache with session.evict, I am confused to see that an instance is not effectively removed. After getting in the code I see that IdentityKey uses == and not my overrided equals method in my bean object. Shouldn't IdentityKey use equals ? It would make more sense, wouldn't it ? Because in the specification of java.util.Map, it is equals that is mentionned, not ==. Thanks in advance for letting me know if I am wrong and/or if this will be changed. Joel.
