public class ByteArrayWrapper
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<ByteArrayWrapper>

A wrapper class around a byte array that supports a clean implementation of hashCode() and equals(Object), so byte arrays can be used, e.g., in a HashMap. The class is immutable. Custom (de)serialization is provided to make this efficient to use in storage or RMI scenarios.
