GeneratedCacheKey

All Superinterfaces:

java.io.Serializable
```
public interface GeneratedCacheKey
extends java.io.Serializable
```
A Serializable, immutable, thread-safe object that is used as a key, automatically generated by a CacheKeyGenerator.
The implementation MUST follow the Java contract for Object.hashCode() and Object.equals(Object) to ensure correct behavior.
It is recommended that implementations also override Object.toString() and provide a human-readable string representation of the key.

Since:

```
boolean equals(java.lang.Object object)
```
    Compare this GeneratedCacheKey with another. If the two objects are equal their hashCode() values MUST be equal as well.
