public abstract class AbstractIndexableObject<T extends ReloadableEntity<PK>,PK extends Serializable>
extends Object
implements IndexableObject<T,PK>

This class exists in order to provide a default implementation for the equals and hashCode methods. Since IndexableObjects can be made multiple times for the same underlying object, we needed more finely-tuned equals(java.lang.Object) and hashCode() methods. We're simply checking that the underlying objects are equal and returning the hash-code for the underlying object. This way, we'll always get a proper result when calling equals(java.lang.Object) or hashCode() on an IndexableObject because it'll depend on the underlying object.
