这里有一些关于JPA实体的讨论,以及应该为JPA实体类使用哪些hashCode()/equals()实现。它们中的大多数(如果不是全部)依赖于Hibernate,但是我想中立地讨论它们的jpa实现(顺便说一下,我使用的是EclipseLink)。

所有可能的实现都有其自身的优点和缺点:

hashCode()/equals()契约一致性(不可变性)用于列表/集操作 是否可以检测到相同的对象(例如来自不同会话的对象,来自惰性加载数据结构的动态代理) 实体在分离(或非持久化)状态下是否正确运行

在我看来,有三种选择:

Do not override them; rely on Object.equals() and Object.hashCode() hashCode()/equals() work cannot identify identical objects, problems with dynamic proxies no problems with detached entities Override them, based on the primary key hashCode()/equals() are broken correct identity (for all managed entities) problems with detached entities Override them, based on the Business-Id (non-primary key fields; what about foreign keys?) hashCode()/equals() are broken correct identity (for all managed entities) no problems with detached entities

我的问题是:

我是否错过了一个选择和/或赞成/反对的观点? 你选择了什么,为什么?

更新1:

通过“hashCode()/equals()是坏的”,我的意思是连续的hashCode()调用可能返回不同的值,这(当正确实现时)在对象API文档的意义上不是坏的,但是当试图从Map、Set或其他基于哈希的集合中检索更改的实体时,会导致问题。因此,JPA实现(至少是EclipseLink)在某些情况下不能正确工作。

更新2:

谢谢你的回答——大部分问题都很有质量。 不幸的是,我仍然不确定哪种方法最适合实际应用程序,或者如何确定最适合我的应用程序的方法。所以,我将保持这个问题的开放性,希望有更多的讨论和/或意见。


当前回答

我试着自己回答这个问题,直到我读了这篇文章,尤其是画了一个,我才完全满意找到的解决方案。我喜欢他懒创建UUID和最佳存储它的方式。

但我想增加更多的灵活性,即惰性创建UUID仅当hashCode()/equals()被访问时,第一次持久化实体与每个解决方案的优点:

Equals()表示“对象指向相同的逻辑实体” 尽可能使用数据库ID,因为为什么我要做两次工作(性能问题) 防止在尚未持久的实体上访问hashCode()/equals()时出现问题,并在它确实被持久后保持相同的行为

我真的很感激对我的混合解决方案的反馈如下

public class MyEntity { @Id() @Column(name = "ID", length = 20, nullable = false, unique = true) @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY) private Long id = null; @Transient private UUID uuid = null; @Column(name = "UUID_MOST", nullable = true, unique = false, updatable = false) private Long uuidMostSignificantBits = null; @Column(name = "UUID_LEAST", nullable = true, unique = false, updatable = false) private Long uuidLeastSignificantBits = null; @Override public final int hashCode() { return this.getUuid().hashCode(); } @Override public final boolean equals(Object toBeCompared) { if(this == toBeCompared) { return true; } if(toBeCompared == null) { return false; } if(!this.getClass().isInstance(toBeCompared)) { return false; } return this.getUuid().equals(((MyEntity)toBeCompared).getUuid()); } public final UUID getUuid() { // UUID already accessed on this physical object if(this.uuid != null) { return this.uuid; } // UUID one day generated on this entity before it was persisted if(this.uuidMostSignificantBits != null) { this.uuid = new UUID(this.uuidMostSignificantBits, this.uuidLeastSignificantBits); // UUID never generated on this entity before it was persisted } else if(this.getId() != null) { this.uuid = new UUID(this.getId(), this.getId()); // UUID never accessed on this not yet persisted entity } else { this.setUuid(UUID.randomUUID()); } return this.uuid; } private void setUuid(UUID uuid) { if(uuid == null) { return; } // For the one hypothetical case where generated UUID could colude with UUID build from IDs if(uuid.getMostSignificantBits() == uuid.getLeastSignificantBits()) { throw new Exception("UUID: " + this.getUuid() + " format is only for internal use"); } this.uuidMostSignificantBits = uuid.getMostSignificantBits(); this.uuidLeastSignificantBits = uuid.getLeastSignificantBits(); this.uuid = uuid; }

其他回答

我们通常在实体中有两个id:

仅用于持久化层(以便持久化提供程序和数据库能够找出对象之间的关系)。 是为了我们的应用程序需要(特别是equals()和hashCode())

来看看:

@Entity
public class User {

    @Id
    private int id;  // Persistence ID
    private UUID uuid; // Business ID

    // assuming all fields are subject to change
    // If we forbid users change their email or screenName we can use these
    // fields for business ID instead, but generally that's not the case
    private String screenName;
    private String email;

    // I don't put UUID generation in constructor for performance reasons. 
    // I call setUuid() when I create a new entity
    public User() {
    }

    // This method is only called when a brand new entity is added to 
    // persistence context - I add it as a safety net only but it might work 
    // for you. In some cases (say, when I add this entity to some set before 
    // calling em.persist()) setting a UUID might be too late. If I get a log 
    // output it means that I forgot to call setUuid() somewhere.
    @PrePersist
    public void ensureUuid() {
        if (getUuid() == null) {
            log.warn(format("User's UUID wasn't set on time. " 
                + "uuid: %s, name: %s, email: %s",
                getUuid(), getScreenName(), getEmail()));
            setUuid(UUID.randomUUID());
        }
    }

    // equals() and hashCode() rely on non-changing data only. Thus we 
    // guarantee that no matter how field values are changed we won't 
    // lose our entity in hash-based Sets.
    @Override
    public int hashCode() {
        return getUuid().hashCode();
    }

    // Note that I don't use direct field access inside my entity classes and
    // call getters instead. That's because Persistence provider (PP) might
    // want to load entity data lazily. And I don't use 
    //    this.getClass() == other.getClass() 
    // for the same reason. In order to support laziness PP might need to wrap
    // my entity object in some kind of proxy, i.e. subclassing it.
    @Override
    public boolean equals(final Object obj) {
        if (this == obj)
            return true;
        if (!(obj instanceof User))
            return false;
        return getUuid().equals(((User) obj).getUuid());
    }

    // Getters and setters follow
}

编辑:澄清我关于调用setUuid()方法的观点。下面是一个典型的场景:

User user = new User();
// user.setUuid(UUID.randomUUID()); // I should have called it here
user.setName("Master Yoda");
user.setEmail("yoda@jedicouncil.org");

jediSet.add(user); // here's bug - we forgot to set UUID and 
                   //we won't find Yoda in Jedi set

em.persist(user); // ensureUuid() was called and printed the log for me.

jediCouncilSet.add(user); // Ok, we got a UUID now

当我运行测试并看到日志输出时,我解决了这个问题:

User user = new User();
user.setUuid(UUID.randomUUID());

或者,也可以提供一个单独的构造函数:

@Entity
public class User {

    @Id
    private int id;  // Persistence ID
    private UUID uuid; // Business ID

    ... // fields

    // Constructor for Persistence provider to use
    public User() {
    }

    // Constructor I use when creating new entities
    public User(UUID uuid) {
        setUuid(uuid);
    }

    ... // rest of the entity.
}

我的例子是这样的:

User user = new User(UUID.randomUUID());
...
jediSet.add(user); // no bug this time

em.persist(user); // and no log output

我使用默认构造函数和setter,但您可能会发现双构造函数方法更适合您。

业务密钥方法不适合我们。我们使用DB生成的ID、临时临时tempId和重写equal()/hashcode()来解决这个困境。所有实体都是Entity的后代。优点:

DB中没有额外字段 在后代实体中没有额外的编码,一种方法适用于所有的实体 没有性能问题(如UUID), DB Id生成 使用hashmap没有问题(不需要记住equal & etc的使用)。 新实体的Hashcode即使在持久化后也不会及时更改

缺点:

序列化和反序列化非持久化实体可能会出现问题 从DB重新加载后,保存的实体的Hashcode可能会改变 非持久化对象被认为总是不同的(也许这是对的?) 还有什么?

看看我们的代码:

@MappedSuperclass
abstract public class Entity implements Serializable {

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue
    @Column(nullable = false, updatable = false)
    protected Long id;

    @Transient
    private Long tempId;

    public void setId(Long id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public Long getId() {
        return id;
    }

    private void setTempId(Long tempId) {
        this.tempId = tempId;
    }

    // Fix Id on first call from equal() or hashCode()
    private Long getTempId() {
        if (tempId == null)
            // if we have id already, use it, else use 0
            setTempId(getId() == null ? 0 : getId());
        return tempId;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean equals(Object obj) {
        if (super.equals(obj))
            return true;
        // take proxied object into account
        if (obj == null || !Hibernate.getClass(obj).equals(this.getClass()))
            return false;
        Entity o = (Entity) obj;
        return getTempId() != 0 && o.getTempId() != 0 && getTempId().equals(o.getTempId());
    }

    // hash doesn't change in time
    @Override
    public int hashCode() {
        return getTempId() == 0 ? super.hashCode() : getTempId().hashCode();
    }
}

我总是重写equals/hashcode,并基于业务id实现它。对我来说这是最合理的解决办法。请看下面的链接。

总而言之,这里列出了处理equals/hashCode的不同方法中哪些是有效的,哪些是无效的:

编辑:

为了解释为什么这对我有用:

I don't usually use hashed-based collection (HashMap/HashSet) in my JPA application. If I must, I prefer to create UniqueList solution. I think changing business id on runtime is not a best practice for any database application. On rare cases where there is no other solution, I'd do special treatment like remove the element and put it back to the hashed-based collection. For my model, I set the business id on constructor and doesn't provide setters for it. I let JPA implementation to change the field instead of the property. UUID solution seems to be overkill. Why UUID if you have natural business id? I would after all set the uniqueness of the business id in the database. Why having THREE indexes for each table in the database then?

下面是一个简单的(经过测试的)Scala解决方案。

请注意,此解决方案不属于这3类中的任何一类 在问题中给出。 我所有的实体都是UUIDEntity的子类,所以我遵循 不要重复自己(DRY)原则。 如果需要,可以使UUID生成更精确(通过使用更多 伪随机数)。

Scala代码:

import javax.persistence._
import scala.util.Random

@Entity
@Inheritance(strategy = InheritanceType.TABLE_PER_CLASS)
abstract class UUIDEntity {
  @Id  @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.TABLE)
  var id:java.lang.Long=null
  var uuid:java.lang.Long=Random.nextLong()
  override def equals(o:Any):Boolean= 
    o match{
      case o : UUIDEntity => o.uuid==uuid
      case _ => false
    }
  override def hashCode() = uuid.hashCode()
}

我过去一直使用选项1,因为我知道这些讨论,并认为在我知道正确的事情之前最好什么都不做。这些系统仍在成功运行。

但是,下次我可能会尝试选项2 -使用数据库生成的Id。

如果未设置id, Hashcode和equals将抛出IllegalStateException。

这将防止涉及未保存实体的细微错误意外出现。

人们对这种方法有什么看法?
