Why You Should Implement equals() and hashCode() In Hibernate

It is not directly obvious why you should override and implement equals() and hashCode() in Hibernate. Here are two good documentation for why:

- Hibernate ORM documentation
http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/orm/4.3/manual/en-US/html/ch04.html#persistent-classes-equalshashcode

JBoss Community Wiki
https://community.jboss.org/wiki/EqualsAndHashCode
