ConstraintViolationImpl.equals seems incorrect. Please verify / confirm.

Hi,

While trying to understand a weird issue I'm facing (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24599410/gwt-bean-validation-does-not-return-all-constraint-violations-in-compiled-mode ) I seem to have found an issue with the equals method of ConstraintViolationImpl that could be at the root of the issue.

As I'm not 100% sure could someone verify my observatiom.

the source (I'm using 2.6.0) of the ConstraintViolationImpl.equals method is:

 @Override
  public boolean equals(Object o) {
    if (this == o) {
      return true;
    }
    if (!(o instanceof ConstraintViolationImpl)) {
      return false;
    }
    ConstraintViolationImpl<?> other = (ConstraintViolationImpl<?>) o;
    return (message == null ? other.message == null : message.equals(other.message)
        && propertyPath == null ? other.propertyPath == null :
          propertyPath.equals(other.propertyPath)
        && rootBean == null ? other.rootBean == null : rootBean.equals(other.rootBean)
        && leafBean == null ? other.leafBean == null : leafBean.equals(other.leafBean)
        && elementType == null ? other.elementType == null : elementType.equals(other.elementType)
        && invalidValue == null ? other.invalidValue == null :
          invalidValue.equals(other.invalidValue));
  }

I think the comparisons at the return statement are incorrect as ?: has a lower precedence than &&. (see also http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18788063/why-does-false-falsefalsetrue-return-true).

A simple unit test showing the issue is:

@Test
public void equalsReturnsTrueWhileItShouldnt() {

Path propertyPath = new PathImpl();
String message1 = "[message1]";
String message2 = "[message2]";
Builder<?> builder = ConstraintViolationImpl.builder();
builder.setPropertyPath(propertyPath);
// ... normally other fields should be set but not needed to show issue
builder.setMessage(message1);
ConstraintViolationImpl<?> constraintViolation1 = builder.build();
builder.setMessage(message2);
ConstraintViolationImpl<?> constraintViolation2 = builder.build(); 

boolean equalsGotten = constraintViolation1
.equals(constraintViolation2);

assertFalse(equalsGotten);
}

where the assertion will fail.

Am I overlooking something or is this indeed a bug?

best regards,

Rutger
