public interface PkGenerator
Defines methods to support automatic primary key generation.
  • Method Details

    • createAutoPk

      void createAutoPk(DataNode node, List<DbEntity> dbEntities)
      Generates necessary database objects to provide automatic primary key support.
      Parameters:
      node - node that provides access to a DataSource.
      dbEntities - a list of entities that require primary key auto-generation support
    • createAutoPkStatements

      List<String> createAutoPkStatements(List<DbEntity> dbEntities)
      Returns a list of SQL strings needed to generates database objects to provide automatic primary support for the list of entities. No actual database operations are performed.
    • dropAutoPk

      void dropAutoPk(DataNode node, List<DbEntity> dbEntities)
      Drops any common database objects associated with automatic primary key generation process. This may be lookup tables, special stored procedures or sequences.
      Parameters:
      node - node that provides access to a DataSource.
      dbEntities - a list of entities whose primary key auto-generation support should be dropped.
    • dropAutoPkStatements

      List<String> dropAutoPkStatements(List<DbEntity> dbEntities)
      Returns SQL string needed to drop database objects associated with automatic primary key generation. No actual database operations are performed.
    • generatePk

      @Deprecated(since="5.0", forRemoval=true) default Object generatePk(DataNode dataNode, DbAttribute pk)
      Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.
      unused by the framework that relies on generatePk(DataNode, DbAttribute, Class)
      Generates a unique and non-repeating primary key for specified PK attribute.
    • generatePk

      Object generatePk(DataNode dataNode, DbAttribute pk, Class<?> javaType)
      Generates a unique and non-repeating primary key for the specified PK attribute
      Since:
      5.0
    • getAdapter

      DbAdapter getAdapter()
      Get an adapter associated with current PkGenerator
      Since:
      4.1
    • reset

      void reset()
      Resets any cached primary keys forcing generator to go to the database next time id generation is requested. May not be applicable for all generator implementations.
