Interface IdentifierBridge<I>

    • Method Detail

      • toDocumentIdentifier

        String toDocumentIdentifier​(I propertyValue,
                                    IdentifierBridgeToDocumentIdentifierContext context)
        Transform the given POJO property value to the value of the document identifier.

        Must return a unique value for each value of propertyValue

        Parameters:
        propertyValue - The POJO property value to be transformed.
        context - A context that can be extended to a more useful type, giving access to such things as a Hibernate ORM SessionFactory (if using the Hibernate ORM mapper).
        Returns:
        The value of the document identifier.
      • fromDocumentIdentifier

        I fromDocumentIdentifier​(String documentIdentifier,
                                 IdentifierBridgeFromDocumentIdentifierContext context)
        Transform the given document identifier value back to the value of the POJO property.

        Must be the exact inverse function of toDocumentIdentifier(Object, IdentifierBridgeToDocumentIdentifierContext), i.e. object.equals(fromDocumentIdentifier(toDocumentIdentifier(object, sessionContext))) must always be true.

        Parameters:
        documentIdentifier - The document identifier value to be transformed.
        context - A sessionContext that can be extended to a more useful type, giving access to such things as a Hibernate ORM Session (if using the Hibernate ORM mapper).
        Returns:
        The value of the document identifier.
