Hi all, how should I handle cases where my business objects could be either "real objects" or proxies, and I want to override hashcode (because I've already overridden equals)?
Let's say that I'm using a proxy reference for an object A (i.e. not all As are proxies by default), and I put some As into a HashSet. Consider if I want to call mySet.remove(someA), where someA is equal to someOtherA in the Collection, but of different types (proxy/real object), then someA will not be removed from the Collection, because of differences in the hashCode implementation. In RC6, hashCode for a proxy is implemented to return the hashCode for the real object's Identity, so one way to solve this is to implement the same functionality in my business objects, but it seems like a complex solution for a not so complex problem. Does anyone have any good ideas? What's the reason for the IndirectionHandler not to delegate the hashCode functionality to the real object (as it does with equals)?
