public final class Identifier

Object
Identifier

Immutable composite identity, in the model’s declared identifier-field order.

Methods

`public static` `Identifier of(Object... values)`	Creates a composite identifier, normalizing scalar storage representations.
`public` `Object[] values()`	Returns a copy of the normalized key component array.
`public boolean equals(Object other)`	Compares normalized components in identifier-field order.
`public int hashCode()`	Computes a hash from the normalized key components.

Method details

of

public static Identifier of(Object... values)

Creates a composite identifier, normalizing scalar storage representations. Integral byte, short, and int values compare as longs. Copies the supplied array; components should be immutable. Binary components are unsupported.

Parameters

values Object...: key components in declared identifier-field order

Returns

composite identifier for session lookup

Throws

IllegalArgumentException: if a component is binary

values

public Object[] values()

Returns a copy of the normalized key component array.

Returns

components in identifier-field order

equals

public boolean equals(Object other)

Compares normalized components in identifier-field order.

Parameters

other Object: object to compare

Returns

true if the other identifier has equal components

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Computes a hash from the normalized key components.

Returns

component-based hash code
