Question

I need to compare different data objects.

Can any one tell me how can i do this. I don’t know what are the data types i will get priorly. If i need to use any util from apache commons then please give reference to it.

At present I am using .equals() for comparing equality of objects .It is working fine when I am comparing quality for two strings. If i am comparing java.sql.date data type then it is showing unequal even though both contains same values.

Can any one suggest me on this regard.

Thanks,
Narendra

Answer 1

it totally depends on the equals() method implementation of the object upon which you are calling the equals() ,
