    • Enum Constant Detail

      • NATIVE

        public static final IDMethod NATIVE
        Key generation via database-specific ID method (i.e. auto-increment for MySQL, sequence for Oracle, etc.).
      • AUTO_INCREMENT

        public static final IDMethod AUTO_INCREMENT
        Key generation via auto-increment.
      • SEQUENCE

        public static final IDMethod SEQUENCE
        Key generation via sequences.
      • ID_BROKER

        public static final IDMethod ID_BROKER
        Key generation via the IDBroker table.
      • NO_ID_METHOD

        public static final IDMethod NO_ID_METHOD
        No RDBMS key generation (keys may be generated by the application).
    • Method Detail

      • values

        public static IDMethod[] values()
        Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
        for (IDMethod c : IDMethod.values())
            System.out.println(c);
        
        Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
      • valueOf

        public static IDMethod valueOf​(String name)
        Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
        Parameters:
        name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
        Returns:
        the enum constant with the specified name
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
        NullPointerException - if the argument is null
      • getIdMethod

        public static IDMethod getIdMethod​(String idMethod)
        Returns the id method for a id method name.
        Parameters:
        idMethod - the name of the id method.
        Returns:
        the id method.
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if idMethod is not a known name.
