Tobject->equals

Description

Test if a tobject is equal to another.

Comments

Domain classes use temporary created objects in method calls which makes the comparison of a tobject to "this" in a domain class method by the strict equality operator impossible. The introduction of the %equals% method solves this problem and gives the developer a reliable way to test if two tobjects represent the same topic.

Examples

[%$kurt = Tobject::get("si:kurt"); $mary = Tobject::get("si:mary"); // Another tobject if ($kurt->equals($mary)) ... // A topic reference if ($kurt->equals("si:mary")) ... // A system id if ($kurt->equals(779)) ...%]
