public interface IRepositoryEntity

Defines an entity in ODI.

Since:

11.1.1.3.0

Method Summary

java.io.Serializable	getInternalId() Provides a common getter for the persistence layer to obtain an identity, irrespective of the actual type of identity used.
IRepositoryEntity	getSecurityContainer() Define a generic way to retrieve container for entities.

Method Detail

getInternalId

java.io.Serializable getInternalId()

Provides a common getter for the persistence layer to obtain an identity, irrespective of the actual type of identity used.

Typically a subclass will delegate to a public SomePrimitiveWrapper getId() method. The necessity for the getInternalId() abstract method is solely because the persistence layer needs a way of obtaining the identity irrespective of the actual identity implementation choice.

Returning null from this method will indicate the object has never been saved. This will likely be relied on by some DAO implementations.

Returns:

the persistence identity of this instance

getSecurityContainer

IRepositoryEntity getSecurityContainer()

Define a generic way to retrieve container for entities.

Returns:

container entity
