Re: JESS: new to jess

[James Owen]

Thanks.  I probably shouldn't be allowed to play with computers right now.  Not even email.  I pulled my back out again and I'm taking muscle relaxers and mild pain killers (ala Rush L.) and I hope I'm not "hooked" by the time that I get well.  :-)  Anyway, thanks for the correction and that really IS what I meant in the earlier email.  Thanks for keeping me "straight."  [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I think James Owen wrote: One other thing, something that most "old timers" even forget. :-) If you re-write equals for a class that already exists or one that you inherit then you have to re-write the hash map table. Of course what jco means is that if you override equals(), you should override hashCode() as well; the details of doing this correctly are spelled out quite clearly in the Javadocs for the Object class. Joshua Bloch's book is, indeed, good as well. --------------------------------------------------------- Ernest Friedman-Hill Advanced Software Research Phone: (925) 294-2154 Sandia National Labs FAX: (925) 294-2234 PO Box 969, MS 9012 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Livermore, CA 94550 http://herzberg.ca.sandia.gov -------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send the words 'unsubscribe jess-users [EMAIL PROTECTED]' in the BODY of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], NOT to the list (use your own address!)
