14.3.4.3.5. CacheKey Implementation Code

A custom key generation scheme can be created to override the default key generation offered by the Infinispan CDI module.

Generate a custom key as follows:

import javax.cache.annotation.CacheKey;

public class MyCacheKey implements CacheKey {
   private Object p;

   public CustomCacheKey(Object p) {
      this.p = p;
   }

   @Override
   public boolean equals(Object o) {
      ...
   }

   @Override
   public int hashCode() {
      ...
   }
}

import javax.cache.annotation.CacheKey;

public class MyCacheKey implements CacheKey {
   private Object p;

   public CustomCacheKey(Object p) {
      this.p = p;
   }

   @Override
   public boolean equals(Object o) {
      ...
   }

   @Override
   public int hashCode() {
      ...
   }
}

The equals() and hashCode() methods must be correctly implemented for the CacheKey to work as expected.
