Method Detail

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object o)

Compares the specified object with this validation message for equality. Returns true if and only if the specified object is also a simple validation message, both messages have the same severity, key, and formatted text. In other words, two simple validation messages are defined to be equal if and only if they behave one like the other.

This implementation first checks if the specified object is this a simple validation message. If so, it returns true; if not, it checks if the specified object is a simple validation message. If not, it returns false; if so, it checks and returns if the severities, keys and formatted texts of both messages are equal.

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

Parameters:

o - the object to be compared for equality with this validation message.

Returns:

true if the specified object is equal to this validation message.

Object.equals(java.lang.Object)

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns the hash code value for this validation message. This implementation computes and returns the hash based on the hash code values of this messages' severity, key, and text.

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

the hash code value for this validation message.
