Hi all, It seems that using a HashSet to create a symbollist can only validate the very symbols in the HashSet, if I create a new Symbol using the same name and annotation, the symbollist cannot validate it because the it is a new object than the one in the HashSet.
I encountered this problem in the following situation: I make a DragableJLabel draggable, and upon drop, it transfer a FundamentalAtomicSymbol(extend it to implement transferrable) to a DropableJPanel. Before transfer, I can show that the FundamentalAtomicSymbol belongs to a simpleAlphabet(simpleAlphabet.contains(myFundamentalAtomicSymbol) returns true), but after transfer, the contains method of the same simpleAlphabet returns false. This make it impossible for drag and drop to using symbols to build symbolLists. Any ideas how to solve this? while(true){ thanks a million; } //cheers I am using jdk1.4 biojava1.3 ========================================================= Haibo Zhang, PhD student Computational Biology, NJIT & Rutgers University Center for Applied Genomics, PHRI http://afs13.njit.edu/~hz5 _______________________________________________ Biojava-l mailing list - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://biojava.org/mailman/listinfo/biojava-l
