UseProjectLombokorbetterKotlinforyourPojos.
(Also,toaddKotlintoyourresume;))
This:
publicclassBaseVO{
protectedLongid;
@Override
publicbooleanequals(Objectobj){
if(obj==null||id==null)
returnfalse;
if(objinstanceofBaseVO)
return((BaseVO)obj).getId().equals(id);
returnfalse;
}
@Override
publicinthashCode(){
returnid==null?null:id.hashCode();
}
//gettersetterhere
}
publicclassSubclassextendsBaseVO{
protectedStringname;
protectedStringcategory;
//gettersetterhere
}
wouldbecomethis:
openclassBaseVO(varid:Long?=null){
overridefunhashCode():Int{
if(id!=null)
returnid.hashCode()
returnsuper.hashCode()
}
overridefunequals(other:Any?):Boolean{
if(id==null||other==null||other!isBaseVO)
returnfalse
returnid.hashCode()==other.id?.hashCode()
}
}
@Suppress("unused")
classSubclass(
varname:String?=null,
varcategory:String?=null
):BaseVO()
OruseKotlin's"data"classes.Youendupwritingevenfewerlinesofcode.
