Class ReferenceCookie

java.lang.Object
  org.jcon.data.MagicCookie
      org.jcon.data.ReferenceCookie

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public class ReferenceCookie
extends MagicCookie

This is a cookie that contains another object. Kind of a fortune cookie, I guess. Its main purpose is to foil the object's native equals() method; useful when strict object equality is what you want, like in serialization mapping. Call it an identity wrapper.
