Equals and Hashcode on Javassist's (proxied) Annotations do not match the java.lang.Annotation contract ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JASSIST-35 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JASSIST-35 Project: Javassist Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Paul Field Assigned To: Shigeru Chiba java.lang.Annotation defines that implementation provide a very particular implementation of equals() and hashcode() that implement a definition of "logically equivalent" for annotations. See: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/annotation/Annotation.html The current implementation of Javassist (3.6.0 RC1) uses a proxy backed by javassist.bytecode.annotation.AnnotationImpl. It does not implement hashcode() and equals() according to the Annotation contract. This makes it hard to tell if two annotations are equivalent (e.g. when the same type of annotation has been used on various overriden versions of a method). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
