Method Detail

equals

public final boolean equals(Object obj)

Compares two objects for equality. This version only returns true for x.equals(y) if x and y refer to the same object, and guarantees this for all subclasses.

equals in class Object

Parameters:

obj - the reference object with which to compare.

Returns:

true if this object is the same as the obj argument; false otherwise.

hashCode

public final int hashCode()

Returns a hash code value for the object. This version is identical to the one in Object, but is also final.

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

Returns:

a hash code value for this object.

See Also:

Object.equals(java.lang.Object), Hashtable

toString

public String toString()

Returns a string representation of the object. This version returns the concatenation of class name, "(", a name identifying the attribute and ")".

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

a string representation of the object.

getName

protected String getName()

Returns the name of the attribute.

readResolve

protected Object readResolve()
                      throws InvalidObjectException
