Question

I have been stuck with this for a while now, Actually I have 2 objects which according to me are same, I have overriden the hashCode method to create equal hash codes for both, still when I compare them for equality using “==” or Object’s equals(which too uses “==”), it returns false to me, The below scenario should exactly explain:::

1)HashCode-->-626561382 AND 2)HashCode--->-626561382  
1)IdentityHashCode-->19640463
2)IdentityHashCode-->22330755  
1)Bean1=beans.OrdersBean@daa76e9a  AND 2)Bean2=beans.OrdersBean@daa76e9a  
Check MySelf for(==)-->false  
Check Object's Equals()-->false

Please kindly explain me why is this happening????

Answer 1

== operator compare refrences(Memory location) of Objects in java…

if you compare objects then use .equals()

if(obj1.equals(obj2)){

}
