Why the need for the identity-properties? There can only be one paramter, right? So if the parameter is a primative, testing for equality is easy. If it is an object, you have to make sure the object implements hashCode/equals. I think that is a reasonable requirement, hibernate requires that. Then, if the parameter is a list or map, the equals methods should also work, assuming each element in the list or map implements equals correctly.
