HashSet contains duplicate entries

Question

A HashSet only stores values ones, when the equals method says that they\'re the same. Thats what I thought.

But now i\'m adding Elements to a HashSet where the equa

If you have your own model classes you need to change some basic functions work like done in the below example.

Execution code :

HashSet models = new HashSet();

for (int i = 1; i < 5; i++)
    models.add(new MyModel(i + "", "Name :" + i + ""));

for (int i = 3; i < 5; i++)
    models.add(new MyModel(i + "", "Name :" + i + ""));

for (Object object : models)
    System.out.println(object);

Model Class :

/**
 * Created by Arun
 */
public static class MyModel {

    private String id = "";
    private String name = "";

    public MyModel(String id, String name) {
        this.id = id;
        this.name = name;
    }

    public String getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(String id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return getId();
    }

    @Override
    public boolean equals(Object obj) {
        return !super.equals(obj);
    }

    public int hashCode() {
        return getId().hashCode();
    }

}

Hope this helps.
