I KNOW that this has been addressed before somewhere, but remain at an
impasse. EMF framework depends on user not overriding the
equal/hashCode methods of objects, and Hibernate encourages overriding
these methods. The main purpose from Hibernate standpoint is assuring
that Java equality not override SQL record equality.
In EMF model, I have an object (Patient) that contains clinical
decisions made about the patient (Decisions). I do not want duplicate
decisions in my database, and these are defined as decisions with the
same attribute A and attribute B.
In my eCore model I have added attributes A and B to the EKeys property
of the relation between Patient and Decisions. But I can add objects
all day long and there is no error or prevention.
I really appreciate your help. I am a newbie to this, but have tried
hard to find the answer.

Mike,
You can use Diagnostician.INSTANCE to validate your instances. Of
course even if you could override equals, there would be nothing to
prevent logic that added a Decision and then changed the A and B
attribute values to cause a duplicate. I.e., this isn't a constraint
you can generally expect to be always fail fast enforceable so better to
assume you need to do a validity check at some point, i.e., before saving.

Hi Michael,
EKeys are not transferred to the hibernate mapping. You can define/use the jpa unique constraint annotation for this, so
the unique constraints are enforced by the model then.
I would only override the equals/hashcode methods if you have a direct need for that.
