During development of my test project I found one problem. Here is my entity class example

@Entity
@Table(name = "COMPANY_BRANCH")
@SQLDelete(sql = "UPDATE COMPANY_BRANCH SET DELETED = true WHERE id=?")
@Where(clause = "DELETED=false")
@Getter
@Setter
@AllArgsConstructor
@NoArgsConstructor
public class CompanyBranch extends AbstractAggregateRoot<CompanyBranch> {

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    private Long id;

    @Override
    public boolean equals(Object o) {
        if (this == o) return true;
        if (!(o instanceof CompanyBranch that)) return false;
        return Objects.equals(id, that.id);
    }

    @Override
    public int hashCode() {
        return Objects.hash(id);
    }
}

When I am trying to compare two companyBranches like this:

taskGiver.getCompanyBranch().equals(taskReceiver.getCompanyBranch());

I am getting false, BUT in cosole I can see that the ids are the same:

2024-05-13T22:46:59.212+03:00  INFO 16664 --- [           main] c.m.e.task.controller.TaskController     : COMPANY BRANCH ID1: 1, COMPANY BRANCH ID2: 1

Here is the piece of code where I am comparing:

private boolean isHeadOfCorrectDepartment(Employee taskGiver, Employee taskReceiver) {
        log.info("COMPANY BRANCH ID1: {}, COMPANY BRANCH ID2: {}", taskGiver.getCompanyBranch().getId(), taskReceiver.getCompanyBranch().getId());
        boolean isCompanyBranchesEqual = taskGiver.getCompanyBranch().equals(taskReceiver.getCompanyBranch());
        boolean isDepartmentEqual =
                taskGiver.getPosition().getDepartment().equals(taskReceiver.getPosition().getDepartment());

        log.info("COMPANY BRANCHES EQUAL: {} DEPARTMENTS EQUAL: {}", isCompanyBranchesEqual, isDepartmentEqual);
        return isCompanyBranchesEqual && isDepartmentEqual;
    }

So the same thing happens with my Department entity, BUT all is fine when I am comparing the ids by themselfes like this:

boolean isCompanyBranchesEqual = taskGiver.getCompanyBranch().getId()
                .equals(taskReceiver.getCompanyBranch().getId());

boolean isDepartmentEqual = taskGiver.getPosition().getDepartment().getId()
                 .equals(taskReceiver.getPosition().getDepartment().getId());

Then everything is fine. So am I missing something in how equals works in Spring Data Jpa? Or maybe something wrong with my equals method?
