虽然使用业务键(选项3)是最常推荐的方法(Hibernate社区wiki，“Java Persistence with Hibernate”第398页)，而且这是我们最常用的方法，但Hibernate有一个错误会破坏急于获取的集:HHH-3799。在这种情况下，Hibernate可以在字段初始化之前将一个实体添加到集合中。我不确定为什么这个错误没有得到更多的关注，因为它确实使推荐的业务键方法出现了问题。

我认为问题的核心是equals和hashCode应该基于不可变状态(参考Odersky等人)，而具有Hibernate管理的主键的Hibernate实体没有这样的不可变状态。当一个瞬态对象变成持久对象时，Hibernate会修改主键。当Hibernate在初始化过程中为对象补水时，业务键也会被Hibernate修改。

这就只剩下选项1了，基于对象身份继承java.lang.Object实现，或者使用James Brundege在“不要让Hibernate窃取你的身份”(Stijn Geukens的回答已经引用了)和Lance Arlaus在“对象生成:Hibernate集成的更好方法”中建议的应用程序管理的主键。

The biggest problem with option 1 is that detached instances can't be compared with persistent instances using .equals(). But that's OK; the contract of equals and hashCode leaves it up to the developer to decide what equality means for each class. So just let equals and hashCode inherit from Object. If you need to compare a detached instance to a persistent instance, you can create a new method explicitly for that purpose, perhaps boolean sameEntity or boolean dbEquivalent or boolean businessEquals.

阅读这篇关于主题的非常好的文章:不要让Hibernate窃取您的身份。

文章的结论是这样的:

Object identity is deceptively hard to implement correctly when objects are persisted to a database. However, the problems stem entirely from allowing objects to exist without an id before they are saved. We can solve these problems by taking the responsibility of assigning object IDs away from object-relational mapping frameworks such as Hibernate. Instead, object IDs can be assigned as soon as the object is instantiated. This makes object identity simple and error-free, and reduces the amount of code needed in the domain model.

如果你想对你的set使用equals()/hashCode()，也就是说同一个实体只能出现一次，那么只有一个选项:选项2。这是因为根据定义，实体的主键永远不会改变(如果有人确实更新了它，它就不再是同一个实体了)

您应该从字面上理解:因为equals()/hashCode()是基于主键的，所以在设置主键之前，您不能使用这些方法。所以你不应该把实体放到集合里，直到它们被赋主键。(是的，uuid和类似的概念可能有助于早期分配主键。)

Now, it's theoretically also possible to achieve that with Option 3, even though so-called "business-keys" have the nasty drawback that they can change: "All you'll have to do is delete the already inserted entities from the set(s), and re-insert them." That is true - but it also means, that in a distributed system, you'll have to make sure, that this is done absolutely everywhere the data has been inserted to (and you'll have to make sure, that the update is performed, before other things occur). You'll need a sophisticated update mechanism, especially if some remote systems aren't currently reachable...

只有当集合中的所有对象都来自同一个Hibernate会话时，才可以使用选项1。Hibernate文档在13.1.3章中非常清楚地说明了这一点。考虑对象同一性:

Within a Session the application can safely use == to compare objects. However, an application that uses == outside of a Session might produce unexpected results. This might occur even in some unexpected places. For example, if you put two detached instances into the same Set, both might have the same database identity (i.e., they represent the same row). JVM identity, however, is by definition not guaranteed for instances in a detached state. The developer has to override the equals() and hashCode() methods in persistent classes and implement their own notion of object equality.

它继续主张选择3:

这里有一个警告:永远不要使用数据库标识符来实现相等。使用由唯一的、通常是不可变的属性组合而成的业务键。如果将瞬态对象持久化，则数据库标识符将更改。如果瞬态实例(通常与分离实例一起)保存在Set中，更改hashcode将破坏Set的契约。

这是真的，如果你

不能提前分配id(例如使用uuid) 当对象处于瞬态时，你肯定想把它们放到集合中。

否则，您可以自由选择选项2。

然后它提到了相对稳定性的需求:

业务键的属性不必像数据库主键那样稳定;只要对象在同一集合中，你就必须保证稳定性。

这是正确的。我所看到的实际问题是:如果你不能保证绝对的稳定性，你如何能够保证“只要对象在同一个集合中”的稳定性。我可以想象一些特殊的情况(比如只在对话中使用集合，然后将其丢弃)，但我会质疑这种方法的一般实用性。

短版:

选项1只能用于单个会话中的对象。 如果可以，使用选项2。(尽早分配PK，因为在分配PK之前你不能在集合中使用对象。) 如果你能保证相对的稳定性，你可以使用选项3。但是要小心。

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?

Jakarta Persistence 3.0，第4.12节写道:

相同抽象模式类型的两个实体当且仅当它们具有相同的主键值时相等。

我看不出为什么Java代码的行为应该有所不同。

If the entity class is in a so called "transient" state, i.e. it's not yet persisted and it has no identifier, then the hashCode/equals methods can not return a value, they ought to blow up, ideally implicitly with a NullPointerException when the method attempts to traverse the ID. Either way, this will effectively stop application code from putting a non-managed entity into a hash-based data structure. In fact, why not go one step further and blow up if the class and identifier are equal, but other important attributes such as the version are unequal (IllegalStateException)! Fail-fast in a deterministic way is always the preferred option.

警告:也要记录下爆发行为。文档本身很重要，但它也希望能够阻止初级开发人员在未来对您的代码做一些愚蠢的事情(他们倾向于压制发生NullPointerException的地方，他们最不关心的是副作用，lol)。

哦，总是使用getClass()而不是instanceof。equals方法要求对称性。如果b等于a，那么a必须等于b。对于子类，instanceof打破了这种关系(a不是b的实例)。

尽管我个人总是使用getClass()，即使在实现非实体类(类型是状态，所以子类添加状态，即使子类是空的或只包含行为)，只有当类是final时，instanceof才会很好。但实体类必须不是最终的(§2.1)，所以我们真的别无选择。

Some folks may not like getClass(), because of the persistence provider's proxy wrapping the object. This might have been a problem in the past, but it really shouldn't be. A provider not returning different proxy classes for different entities, well, I'd say that's not a very smart provider lol. Generally, we shouldn't solve a problem until there is a problem. And, it seems like Hibernate's own documentation doesn't even see it worthwhile mentioning. In fact, they elegantly use getClass() in their own examples (see this).

Lastly, if one has an entity subclass that is an entity, and the inheritance mapping strategy used is not the default ("single table"), but configured to be a "joined subtype", then the primary key in that subclass table will be the same as the superclass table. If the mapping strategy is "table per concrete class", then the primary key may be the same as in the superclass. An entity subclass is very likely to be adding state and therefore just as likely to be logically a different thing. But an equals implementation using instanceof can not necessarily and secondarily rely on the ID only, as we saw may be the same for different entities.

在我看来，instanceof在非final Java类中根本没有位置。对于持久实体来说尤其如此。

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();
    }
}
