Class BusinessIdentity

java.lang.Object

com.openpojo.business.BusinessIdentity

public final class BusinessIdentity
extends Object

This is the entry point and the main class to use for all your business evaluation, hashCode generation, as well as toString rendering.
This class was created to simplify the entry into the business package and is ready for use without writing any code. Simply configure your POJOs with BusinessKey annotation, and then delegate your equals and hashCode methods.
The toString method can be called even if your POJOs aren't configured with a BusinessKey, it is simply an easy way to print in clean normalized way ALL contents of a Java Class.
Note:
All calls to areEqual & getHashCode will result in a call to .BusinessValidator.validate (Object).
A BusinessException will be thrown if the objects don't pass business validation.
