public abstract class AbstractDataTransferObject
extends Object
implements ModelObjectComplete

All model object's that are Jaxb annotated should extend this class. This class does several important things:

1. Defines jaxb callback method to ensure that Collection and Map types are unmarshalled into immutable empty forms rather than null values
2. Defines equals/hashcode/toString
Note: the equals/hashCode implementation excludes field. This element should be present on all jaxb annotated classes.

Important: all classes extending this class must be immutable

Method Detail

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Description copied from interface: ModelObjectComplete

All "Complete" model object's should adhere to the ModelObjectComplete.hashCode() contract.

Specified by:

hashCode in interface ModelObjectComplete

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

Returns:

the hashCode value

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Description copied from interface: ModelObjectComplete

All "Complete" model object's should adhere to the ModelObjectComplete.equals(Object) contract.

Specified by:

equals in interface ModelObjectComplete

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

obj - to object to compare for equality

Returns:

if equal

toString

public String toString()

Description copied from interface: ModelObjectBasic

This will return a proper string representation of the Model Object. All of the fields comprising the "public" api should be represented in the return value.

Specified by:

toString in interface ModelObjectBasic

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

the string representation
