Hi,

I have 2 objects that have the same structure, but belong to 2 different packages:

package org.mycorp.utils;

public Class LabelIndexBean {

private int index = 0;

private String label = 0;

public LabelIndexBean( int index, String label ) {

this->index = index;

this->label = label;

}

public void setIndex( int index ) { this.index = index; }

public void setLabel( String label ) { this.label = label; }

public int getIndex() { return this.index; }

public String getLabel() { return this.label; }

}

package org.anothercorp.utils;

public Class StringlIndexBean {

private String indexString = 0;

private String theString = 0;

public StringlIndexBean( String indexString, String theString ) {

this.indexString = indexString;

this.theString = theString;

}

public void setIndex( String indexString ) {
this.indexString = indexString; }

public void setLabel( String theString ) { this.theString = theString; }

public String getIndex() { return this.indexString; }

public String getLabel() { return this.theString; }

}

I would like to implement an equality operator in order to be able to say:

StringlIndexBean theStringIndexLabelObj = new StringlIndexBean( "0", "please select");

LabelIndexBean theLabelIndexObj = new LabelIndexBean();

Then


theLabelIndexObj = theStringIndexLabelObj;

In C++ it is possible to overload the standard operators (+=, -= +, -, ...etc ...) How do we do in JAVA?

Thanks for your help!!!
