Equals method of Embeddable object not getting called. ------------------------------------------------------ Key: HHH-2483 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2483 Project: Hibernate3 Type: Bug Components: core Versions: 3.2.2 Environment: Hibernate 3.2.2, JavaDB Reporter: Unnikrishnan.k.v As a work around to issue reported in HHH-2482, I tried using a Embeddable object *PasswordHolder* which implements correct equals method to compare char[]'s. But even then hibernate is calling equals method of char[] instead of equals method implemented in PasswordHolder. I am pasting the PasswordHolder source below. To reproduce the issue, 1. create an entity with PasswordHolder as embedded field. 2. Use version number for optimistic locking. 3. Insert a row into db. 4. Now fetch this row through Hibernate entity manager. 5. After the program exits, check the version number of the accessed row. import java.io.Serializable; import java.sql.SQLClientInfoException; import javax.persistence.Column; import javax.persistence.Embeddable; /** * * @author unni */ @Embeddable public class PasswordHolder implements Serializable { /** Creates a new instance of Password */ public PasswordHolder() { } public PasswordHolder(char[] password) { this.password = password; } private char[] password; @Column(length = 32, nullable = false) public char[] getPassword() { return password; } public void setPassword(char[] password) { this.password = password; } public boolean equals(Object o) { if (o instanceof PasswordHolder) { AppUtil appUtil = AppUtil.getInstance(); return (0 == appUtil.compare(this.password, ((PasswordHolder)o).password)); } return false; } public int hashCode() { return password.hashCode(); } } -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/secure/Administrators.... - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
