org.hibernate.id
Class TableGenerator

java.lang.Object
  org.hibernate.engine.TransactionHelper
      org.hibernate.id.TableGenerator

All Implemented Interfaces:

Configurable, IdentifierGenerator, PersistentIdentifierGenerator

Direct Known Subclasses:

TableHiLoGenerator

public class TableGenerator
extends TransactionHelper
implements PersistentIdentifierGenerator, Configurable

An IdentifierGenerator that uses a database table to store the last generated value. It is not intended that applications use this strategy directly. However, it may be used to build other (efficient) strategies. The returned type is Integer.

The hi value MUST be fetched in a seperate transaction to the Session transaction so the generator must be able to obtain a new connection and commit it. Hence this implementation may not be used when Hibernate is fetching connections when the user is supplying connections.

The returned value is of type integer.

Mapping parameters supported: table, column

Method Detail

configure

public void configure(Type type,
                      Properties params,
                      Dialect dialect)

Description copied from interface: Configurable

Configure this instance, given the value of parameters specified by the user as <param> elements. This method is called just once, following instantiation.

Specified by:

configure in interface Configurable

params - param values, keyed by parameter name

generate

public Serializable generate(SessionImplementor session,
                             Object object)
                      throws HibernateException

Description copied from interface: IdentifierGenerator

Generate a new identifier.

Specified by:

generate in interface IdentifierGenerator

object - the entity or toplevel collection for which the id is being generated

Returns:

a new identifier

Throws:

HibernateException

sqlCreateStrings

public String[] sqlCreateStrings(Dialect dialect)

Description copied from interface: PersistentIdentifierGenerator

The SQL required to create the underlying database objects.

Specified by:

sqlCreateStrings in interface PersistentIdentifierGenerator

Returns:

String[]

sqlDropStrings

public String[] sqlDropStrings(Dialect dialect)

Description copied from interface: PersistentIdentifierGenerator

The SQL required to remove the underlying database objects.

Specified by:

sqlDropStrings in interface PersistentIdentifierGenerator

Returns:

String

generatorKey

public Object generatorKey()

Description copied from interface: PersistentIdentifierGenerator

Return a key unique to the underlying database objects. Prevents us from trying to create/remove them multiple times.

Specified by:

generatorKey in interface PersistentIdentifierGenerator

Returns:

Object an identifying key for this generator

doWorkInCurrentTransaction

public Serializable doWorkInCurrentTransaction(Connection conn,
                                               String sql)
                                        throws SQLException

Description copied from class: TransactionHelper

The work to be done

Specified by:

doWorkInCurrentTransaction in class TransactionHelper

Throws:

SQLException
