Modifier and Type	Method and Description
boolean	isIdentical(IdentityComparable other) Determine whether two IdentityComparable objects are identical.

Method Detail

isIdentical

boolean isIdentical(IdentityComparable other)

Determine whether two IdentityComparable objects are identical. This is a stronger test than equality (even schema-equality); for example two dateTime values are not identical unless they are in the same timezone.

Parameters:

other -

Returns:

true if the two values are indentical, false otherwise
