Use of hashcode and equals

Implement equals method using commons-lang

Here we use EqualsBuilder to see whether the 2 objects are equal or not. Take the example of person:

import org.apache.commons.lang.builder.HashCodeBuilder;
import org.apache.commons.lang.builder.EqualsBuilder;

import java.io.Serializable;

public class Person implements Serializable {
  private Long id;

  private String name;

  private String sirname;

  public boolean equals(Object object) {
    if (!(object instanceof Main)) {
      return false;
    }

    if (object == this) {
      return true;
    }

    Person person = (Person) object;
    return new EqualsBuilder().append(this.id, person.id).append(this.name, person.name)
              .append(this.sirname, person.sirname).isEquals();

    // return EqualsBuilder.reflectionEquals(this, person);

  }
}
