Niall Pemberton updated LANG-466:
---------------------------------
Fix Version/s: (was: 3.0)
2.5
> Please expose setEquals(boolean) as public so EqualsBuilder instances can be
> reused
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: LANG-466
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-466
> Project: Commons Lang
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: lang.builder.*
> Affects Versions: 2.4
> Reporter: Lauren Bish
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.5
>
>
> I use EqualsBuilder a lot in equals methods for POJOs and sometimes in
> utility methods to compare properties in DAOs. These methods get called a lot
> in my apps, and I would prefer to reuse an instance of EqualsBuilder instead
> of creating a new instance every time the methods are called. In one method,
> where I retrieve data from a database, a comparison method could be called
> thousands of times in a second. Yes, I have been careful about being
> threadsafe in my reuse of a single EqualsBuilder instance.
> The problem is that (as I understand it), once an instance of EqualsBuilder
> has set isEquals to false, it stays false and all comparisons thereafter
> return false whether equal or not. I have overriden the setEquals() method to
> be public and call this before I start the comparison in my methods and this
> allows me to reuse EqualsBuilder.
> I believe setEquals() should be changed to be public in EqualsBuilder as
> others surely use it in a similar manner.
