> org.hibernate.cache.CacheKey.equals() uses lazy evaluation in its return clause: it first calls type.isEqual() and, if true, then calls entityOrRoleName.equals().
> I am having difficulty reproducing this bug in the form of a test case owing to the complexity of our model and the large amount of data in question-- however, in certain circumstances, where the entityOrRoleName's are NOT equal, calling type.isEqual() yields a PropertyAccessException.
> When this bug manifests itself (a PropertyAccessException is thrown), it causes ALL future Hibernate requests to throw a similar exception, thus rendering our service unusable.
> This is fixed when the lazy evaluation is done the other way around: call entityOrRoleName.equals() prior to type.isEqual() - cheap string comparision vs an expensive call which has a large call tree under it.
