extends Object

A strategy for determining if a version value is an version of a new transient instance or a previously persistent transient instance. The strategy is determined by the unsaved-value attribute in the mapping file.

Field Summary

static VersionValue	NEGATIVE Assume the transient instance is newly instantiated if the version is negative, otherwise assume it is a detached instance.
static VersionValue	NULL Assume the transient instance is newly instantiated if the version is null, otherwise assume it is a detached instance.
static VersionValue	UNDEFINED Assume the transient instance is newly instantiated if the version is null, otherwise defer to the identifier unsaved-value.

Constructor Summary

protected	VersionValue()
	VersionValue(Object value) Assume the transient instance is newly instantiated if its version is null or equal to value

Method Summary

Object	getDefaultValue(Object currentValue)
Boolean	isUnsaved(Object version) Does the given version belong to a new instance?
