Benedikt Ritter commented on LANG-1082:
---------------------------------------
A second constructor sounds like a good solution. Note however, that the
DiffBuilder itself is not immutable, since it holds a reference to the mutable
collection of diffs.
> Add option to disable the "objectsTriviallyEqual" test in DiffBuilder.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1082
> Project: Commons Lang
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: lang.builder.*
> Affects Versions: 3.3.2
> Reporter: Jonathan Baker
> Priority: Trivial
> Fix For: Patch Needed
>
> Original Estimate: 0.25h
> Remaining Estimate: 0.25h

> For example, a bean (e.g. a JPA record) has equals() overridden with a
> implementation that tests its "id" property. If two beans have the same ID,
> they correspond to the same record in the database. However, without
> tricking the objectsTriviallyEqual check in the DiffBuilder constructor,
> there is no way to build a DiffResult using "before" and "after" instances
> with changes to other properties (name, modification time, etc).
