--- Comment #3 from Christopher Schultz <ch...@christopherschultz.net> --- It's a little late, but I have a few comments about the patch. 1. There is no reason to check the hashcode if you are going to call .equals. Presumably, Node.equals() knows the best way to compare most efficiently. 2. I don't know enough about ValueExperssionImpl (etc.) to know whether this is true, but often using "instanceof" in an equals(Object) method is inappropriate. Is there any reason to use a concrete class here rather than an interface? Is there any reason two objects might have different runtime classes, yet still be considered "equals"? Under normal circumstances, a proper equals(Object) method would look like this: { return null != o && o.getClass().equals(this.getClass() && ((HighestPossibleInterface)o).getNode().equals(this.getNode()) ; } -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
