Hello team,
In my eviction policy I am trying to check if two EvictableEntry(ies) are
equals.
I expected that such entries are being using on entry's key. After quick
look into the code(i.e. CacheEvictableEntryImpl class) I saw that it is
intended to be so.
But after some testing I observed that it doesn't work as I expected, and
after deeper look I saw that there seems to be a bug, i.e:
instead of line in bold below:
@Override public boolean equals(Object obj) {
if (obj == this)
return true;
if (obj instanceof CacheEvictableEntryImpl) {
CacheEvictableEntryImpl<K, V> other =
(CacheEvictableEntryImpl<K, V>)obj;
*return cached.key().equals(other.getKey());*
}
return false;
}
there has to be either:
*return cached.key().equals(other.cached.key());*
or
*return this.getKey().equals(other.getKey());*
Am I correct? Is it perhaps already known and fixed?
And btw, since there is nothing explicitly stated in java doc about
"equals" method implementation/overriding can I in fact rely that such
entries are being compared using entry's key?
Thanks,
