Equals implementations in DelegatingXxx classes are not symmetric
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Key: DBCP-358
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DBCP-358
Project: Commons Dbcp
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.4, 1.3, 1.2.2, 1.2
Reporter: Phil Steitz
Fix For: 1.3.1, 1.4.1
For reasons unclear to me, DelegatingConnection, DelegatingStatement,
PoolGuardConnectionWrappers and other DBCP classes implement equals so that the
wrapping class is considered equal to its innermost delegate JDBC object. This
makes equals asymmetric when applied to a wrapper and its wrapped JDBC object -
equals(wrapper, delegate) returns true, but equals(delegate, wrapper) will in
general return false.
I am pretty sure that DBCP itself does not rely on this bugged behavior, so I
am inclined to fix it, making equals an equivalence relation on wrapper
instances, with two considered equal iff their innermost delegates are equal.
I can't imagine use cases where the bugged behavior is required. Can anyone
else?
