Yes, but the default hashCode function generates even numbers. So in order to recieve more balance when you mix your objects with objects using the default hashCode, your hashCodes should be uneven. If you don\'t intend to mix, your hash codes should be evenly distributed. Personally, I think this is a \"bug\" or at least an undesired feature in Java. The method \"hashCode()\" should naturally return evenly distributed numbers, both even and uneven. /O -------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] 0733 - 99 99 17 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
