- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### ObjectIdentity

          public ObjectIdentity(Class pcClass,
                                Object param)

      Constructor with class and key.
      Parameters:
        `pcClass` - the class
        `param` - the key

    - #### ObjectIdentity

          public ObjectIdentity()

      Constructor only for Externalizable.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### getKey

          public Object getKey()

      Return the key.
      Returns:
        the key

    - #### toString

          public String toString()

      Return the String form of the object id. The class of the object id is written as the first part of the result so that the class can be reconstructed later. Then the toString of the key instance is appended. During construction, this process is reversed. The class is extracted from the first part of the String, and the String constructor of the key is used to construct the key itself.
      Overrides:
        `toString` in class `Object`
      Returns:
        the String form of the key

    - #### equals

          public boolean equals(Object obj)

      Determine if the other object represents the same object id.
      Overrides:
        `equals` in class `SingleFieldIdentity`
      Parameters:
        `obj` - the other object
      Returns:
        true if both objects represent the same object id

    - #### hashCode

          public int hashCode()

      Provide the hash code for this instance. The hash code is the hash code of the contained key.
      Overrides:
        `hashCode` in class `SingleFieldIdentity`
      Returns:
        the hash code

    - #### compareTo

          public int compareTo(Object o)

      Determine the ordering of identity objects.
      Parameters:
        `o` - Other identity
      Returns:
        The relative ordering between the objects
      Since:
        2.2

    - #### writeExternal

          public void writeExternal(ObjectOutput out)
                             throws IOException

      Write this object. Write the superclass first.
      Specified by:
        `writeExternal` in interface `Externalizable`
      Overrides:
        `writeExternal` in class `SingleFieldIdentity`
      Parameters:
        `out` - the output
      Throws:
        `IOException`

    - #### readExternal

          public void readExternal(ObjectInput in)
                            throws IOException,
                                   ClassNotFoundException

      Read this object. Read the superclass first.
      Specified by:
        `readExternal` in interface `Externalizable`
      Overrides:
        `readExternal` in class `SingleFieldIdentity`
      Parameters:
        `in` - the input
      Throws:
        `IOException`
        `ClassNotFoundException`
