lucas theisen commented on DIRSERVER-2089:
------------------------------------------
I don't really understand the logic of this method. As an {{AttributeType}} is
a wrapper around an {{oid}}, would it not be safer/quicker to just compare the
{{oid}} values? I certainly need to defer to the experts here and feel free to
close this ticket if it is valid/intentional to inherit {{hashCode}} while
overriding {{equals}}.

> {{AttributeType}} contains an override of the {{equals}} method without an
> accompanying override to {{hashCode}}. Per the javadoc on {{Object.equals}}:
> {quote}
> Note that it is generally necessary to override the hashCode method whenever
> this method is overridden, so as to maintain the general contract for the
> hashCode method, which states that equal objects must have equal hash codes.
