ASF GitHub Bot commented on LANG-1034: -------------------------------------- Github user douddle commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/commons-lang/pull/202 I start to use your feature and I discover a bug. String are now compared with internal data (hash and char[]). But sometimes hash value is not initialized, this is probably a cache for the hashcode. So the comparison fails even if the char[] content is the same. > Add support for recursive comparison to EqualsBuilder#reflectionEquals > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LANG-1034 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1034 > Project: Commons Lang > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: lang.builder.* > Reporter: Duncan Jones > Assignee: Pascal Schumacher > Fix For: 3.6 > > Attachments: LANG-1034.1.patch > > > The current implementation of {{EqualsBuilder.reflectionEquals()}} uses > object equality to test reference fields found in the class. It may be > helpful to offer a method that recursively builds {{.equals()}} methods for > each field and uses that to perform the comparison. > This functionality could be further extended by accepting a list of classes > to include/exclude. Classes that are excluded would use the normal object > equality. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
