43 This class is a thin wrapper around <code>Object</code> that makes
44 the methods <code>hashCode()</code> and <code>equals(Object)</code>
45 as discriminating as possible.
47 public class ObjectIdentityWrapper
51 Constructs a <code>ObjectIdentityWrapper</code> that is wrapped
54 public ObjectIdentityWrapper( Object o
)
60 Uses <code>System.identityHashCode(Object)</code> to compute a
61 hash code for the object wrapped by this
62 <code>ObjectIdentityWrapper</code>.
64 @see java.lang.System#identityHashCode(java.lang.Object)
65 @see java.util.Hashtable
66 @see java.lang.Object#hashCode()
70 return System
.identityHashCode( object
);
74 Uses the <code>==</code> operator to test for equality between
75 the object wrapped by this <code>ObjectIdentityWrapper</code> and
76 the object wrapped by the <code>ObjectIdentityWrapper</code> o.
77 Returns false if o is not a <code>ObjectIdentityWrapper</code>.
79 @see java.util.Hashtable
80 @see java.lang.Object#equals()
82 public boolean equals( Object o
)
84 if( o
instanceof ObjectIdentityWrapper
)
85 return object
== ((ObjectIdentityWrapper
)o
).object
;

toString()
92 return "ObjectIdentityWrapper< " + object
