Hi Warwick,
the DDTUnit code uses the Collection.contains(Object obj) contract as =
stated by Java definition:(taken from JavaDoc jdk 1.4)
     * Returns <tt>true</tt> if this collection contains the specified
     * element.  More formally, returns <tt>true</tt> if and only if =
this
     * collection contains at least one element <tt>e</tt> such that
     * <tt>(o=3D=3Dnull ? e=3D=3Dnull : o.equals(e))</tt>.

If you have an example that states otherwise please share this with me. =
I like to investigate it.

Any hints, ideas or comments on usage or other are welcome!

Best regards
J=F6rg

  Hi there,

  Tried using DDTUnit to test a DAO hibernate layer, particularly finder =
methods that return lists of objects.

  Does the 'isContainedIn' test perform an isEquals or isSame check =
behond the scenes?

  I also tried an isEquals on a finder that returns a unique object =
(which has overidden the equals method). It always fails with a message =
like ...

      looking for object blah@012345, found object blah@654321

  to me this looks like it is still doing an isSame.

  Any ideas?

  Regards,
  Warwick Baker.
