Do I have to change the equals() method too?  Now I get the following on the
ApplicationForm:

[ismid] ERROR [http-8080-Processor25] OptionsTag.doStartTag(84) |
java.lang.Long cannot be cast to com.ism.ismid.model.Customer
java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.Long cannot be cast to
com.ism.ismid.model.Customer
        at com.ism.ismid.model.Customer.equals(Customer.java:35)
        at
org.springframework.util.ObjectUtils.nullSafeEquals(ObjectUtils.java:170)
