Equals method missing in CharArrayType
--------------------------------------

         Key: HHH-2482
         URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2482
     Project: Hibernate3
        Type: Bug

  Components: core  
    Versions: 3.2.2    
 Environment: hibernate-3.2.2.ga, JavaDB
    Reporter: Unnikrishnan.k.v


I am working on a Hibernate entity which contains a char[] field to store password.

   public class Contact implements java.io.Serializable {
       
            private String userName;
      
            private char[] password;

            private Integer version;
   }


Now the problem that I am observing is, version is getting incremented even when none of the fields are changed.
Hibernate log showed that  *password* field is getting dirty.  But, on doing single step debug I  found  that  hibernate  is using
EqualsHelper.equals() method to compare two arrays. This results in  wrong result.  I think, the correct implementation should be
to add an equals method in CharArrayType.java.
