FastKey FastKey is a hack to enable fool proof and fast operation of caches for Entity In the case of complex PK if a developer misses hash and equals the maps won't properly work in jboss. Here we provide an wrapper to the DB Key and the hash is over-written so that we never miss a hit in cache and have constant speed.
