[jira] Closed: (LANG-316) Enable CaseInsensitivity in EqualsBuilder and HashCodeBuilder

["Henri Yandell (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-316?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Henri Yandell closed LANG-316.
------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

Seems that you could quite easily extend HashCodeBuilder and add appendIgnoreCase(String). I don't think you would want to override append(Object) or append(String); you're only going to want the ignoreCase on occasion.

I'm going to resolve this as WONTFIX. What it really uncovers is that you should never use equalsIgnoreCase in an equals() method as it's impossible to ensure hashCode remains consistent.

> Sometimes I want a String property containing "ThisString" to be seen as equal to "THISstring".  EqualsBuilder (and HashCodeBuilder) should be enhanced to optionally handle this requirement.
