> Since some of the implementation classes are now placed under the target/src 
> directory, it would be nice to automatically produce the equals()/hashCode() 
> methods to handle object identity in Java.  For a good, concise description, 
> see section 4.3 of the Hibernate Reference docs at 
> http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/reference/en/html/persistent-classes.html#persistent-classes-equalshashcode.
> Depending on the model and how an entity is used, there will be cases where 
> some subset of attributes, including a subset of 1, may be used to uniquely 
> identify the object between Hibernate sessions in collections.  For reasons 
> described in the Hibernate reference above, this often cannot be the primary 
> key (auto-generated) of the entity, but must be some business key that is at 
> least relevant within the context that the entity will be used.
> Generating the methods in the *Impl classes can be fairly straightforward.  
> The only design decision to make here is how to let the modeller define which 
> subset of attributes on an entity define a business key.  Possibilities 
> include:
>   1.  A new stereotype, like <<primaryKey>>, but for business key attributes,
>   2.  A tagged value to add to such attributes (similar to ones for 
> "indexed", "unique")
> This only affects the *Impl classes, or perhaps it should really be in the 
> main class, since the Hibernate engine does not need it.  Within a single 
> Hibernate session, the cache takes care of these issues.  Only outside of a 
> session, or between sessions, does the object identity become an issue.
