public interface DBObjectID

extends Copyable

Interface representing an immutable object ID for a DBObject. DBObjectID instances are used to provide a reference between different DBObjects. For example, a Foreign Key can refer to the referenced relation through the DBObjectID instead of the relation directly. Because the DBObjectIDs are independent of the actual object, they provide a reliable level of indirection.

Since:

9.0.5

Method Summary

boolean	equals(DBObjectID id, boolean strict) Whether the specified id is equivalent to this id.
DBObjectID	getParent() Retrieves the parent for this id if it has one.
java.lang.String	getType() Retrieves the type of object referenced by this id.
DBObject	resolveID() Resolves the id into the object referenced.
