public abstract class AbstractIdentifiable
extends Object
implements Identifiable
```
Base class for identifiable entities.
Provide basics for holding the ID and rendering the object as a string and forces implementation to overrride hashCode() and equals().

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods Concrete Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`abstract boolean`	`equals(Object object)`	Important note: Two objects with the same class and non-null ID must be considered equal.
`Long`	`getId()`
`abstract int`	`hashCode()`	Important note: Never use the ID in the hashCode() implementation since it can be assigned when the object is persisted.
`void`	`setId(Long id)`
`String`	`toString()`

- Method Detail
  - getId
```
public Long getId()
```
    Specified by:
    
    getId in interface Identifiable
  - setId
```
public void setId(Long id)
```
  - hashCode
```
public abstract int hashCode()
```
    Important note: Never use the ID in the hashCode() implementation since it can be assigned when the object is persisted.
    
    Overrides:
    
    hashCode in class Object
  - equals
```
public abstract boolean equals(Object object)
```
    Important note: Two objects with the same class and non-null ID must be considered equal. If one or both IDs are nulls, the rest of the state can be used to determine equality.
    
    Overrides:
    
    equals in class Object
  - toString
```
public String toString()
```
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class Object
