Class ForwardingIdentityObject<T>

java.lang.Object

com.google.common.collect.ForwardingObject

org.opendaylight.yangtools.util.ForwardingIdentityObject<T>

Type Parameters:

T - Type of wrapped object

All Implemented Interfaces:

Delegator<T>

@Beta
 @NonNullByDefault
public abstract class ForwardingIdentityObject<T>
extends ForwardingObject
implements Delegator<T>

A ForwardingObject which additionally masks hashCode()/equals(Object) of a delegate object, so that it can be a data transfer object with data-dependent implementations of those contracts can be use in collections and maps which need to work on identity. This is useful in situations where identity equality needs to be used with the conjunction with the collections library, for example ConcurrentHashMap. All instances are considered equal if they refer to the same delegate object.

Note this class forms its own equality domain, and its use may lead to surprising results, especially where ForwardingObject.toString() is involved. For example a Map.toString() may end up emitting two keys which have the same String representation.
