Interface IBusinessKey<K>

Type Parameters:

K - the business key type

public interface IBusinessKey<K>

The contract for classes implementing this interface is:

• o1.getBusinessKey().equals(o2.getBusinessKey()) does not imply o1.equals(o2)
• o1.equals(o2) implies o1.getBusinessKey().equals(o2.getBusinessKey())

It's therefore recommended to use (amongst others) .equals(..) and .hashCode() of business key for object equality.
