JFXperience.com » Java http://www.jfxperience.com My thoughts on JavaFX, Java, RIA and other stuff … Mon, 16 Nov 2009 21:22:12 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 en hourly 1 JavaFX != Java http://www.jfxperience.com/2009/08/31/javax-java/ http://www.jfxperience.com/2009/08/31/javax-java/#comments Mon, 31 Aug 2009 19:03:27 +0000 Yannick http://www.jfxperience.com/?p=99 Today I found out about a small difference between JavaFX and Java… Small, but it can be annoying if you’re – like me – a Java developer.

The == operator in Java is used to compare if two objects are actually the same instance. To check if the are considered equal (logically), you  use .equals().

In JavaFX apparently, it’s the other way around !
== checks for logical equality and .isSameObject() is used to see if two objects are the same instance.

I’ll try and remember it, but I’m sure that i’ll make some mistakes before doing it correctly … and I’m pretty sure I’m not the only JavaFX developer with a Java background who’ll have problems with it …
