Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
java.lang.String	getGlobalId() Global ID is unique cross repositories.
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	getParent() This returns parent entity for any first or second class entity, This allows the caller to construct a path that navigates from any entity back to its topmost container.

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

getGlobalId

java.lang.String getGlobalId()

Global ID is unique cross repositories.

Returns:

string representation of global id.

getParent

IRepositoryEntity getParent()

This returns parent entity for any first or second class entity, This allows the caller to construct a path that navigates from any entity back to its topmost container. By using getName() method on any first-class entity, and reflection on any second-class entity that implements getName()

Returns:

: The parent Entity
