Package org.hibernate.tuple

Interface AnnotationValueGeneration<A extends Annotation>

Type Parameters:

A - The generator annotation type supported by an implementation

All Superinterfaces:

AnnotationBasedGenerator<A>, BeforeExecutionGenerator, Generator, OnExecutionGenerator, Serializable, ValueGeneration

All Known Implementing Classes:

CreationTimestampGeneration, UpdateTimestampGeneration

@Deprecated(since="6.2",
            forRemoval=true)
public interface AnnotationValueGeneration<A extends Annotation>
extends ValueGeneration, AnnotationBasedGenerator<A>

Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.

Replaced by AnnotationBasedGenerator

An implementation of ValueGeneration which receives parameters from a custom generator annotation.

This is an older API that predates Generator and AnnotationBasedGenerator. It's often cleaner to implement AnnotationBasedGenerator directly.

ValueGenerationType, ValueGeneration

Method Detail

initialize

void initialize(A annotation,
                Class<?> propertyType)

Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.

Initializes this generation strategy for the given annotation instance.

Parameters:

annotation - an instance of the strategy's annotation type. Typically, implementations will retrieve the annotation's attribute values and store them in fields.

propertyType - the type of the property annotated with the generator annotation.

Throws:

HibernateException - in case an error occurred during initialization, e.g. if an implementation can't create a value for the given property type.

initialize

default void initialize(A annotation,
                        Member member,
                        GeneratorCreationContext context)

Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.

Description copied from interface: AnnotationBasedGenerator

Initializes this generation strategy for the given annotation instance.

Specified by:

initialize in interface AnnotationBasedGenerator<A extends Annotation>

Parameters:

annotation - an instance of the strategy's annotation type. Typically, implementations will retrieve the annotation's attribute values and store them in fields.

member - the Java member annotated with the generator annotation.

context - a GeneratorCreationContext
