-------------------------------------------
> Base Equality on toString() when operands are of different classes
> ------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: VELOCITY-350
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-350
> Project: Velocity
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Engine
> Affects Versions: 1.5
> Environment: Operating System: Windows XP
> Platform: PC
> Reporter: Will Glass-Husain
> Fix For: 1.5
>
>
> This was discussed on the dev list a few weeks ago. If two objects being
> compared are of different (non-numeric) classes, I'd like to see equality be
> based on toString (rather than just be false). This just makes sense in a
> template environment where types are not visible to template writers, and is
> also the way that JSTL/JSP 2.0 works. This is particularly useful when
> comparing a literal String to a class implementing Bloch's Typesafe
> Enumeration pattern [1] or a StringBuffer.
> Comments welcome.
