If you are passing the actual String object, dont over-ride, The default
hashCode() and equals() method will suffice. If you are wrapping a String
into your own PrimaryKey object, use the String's hashCode(). If you have a
composite primary key, you need to implement both.
ANd how to implement a good hashing algorithm isnt a thread I wanna start
again <g>
