Class AbstractEntity<K>

java.lang.Object
  net.dontdrinkandroot.persistence.entity.AbstractEntity<K>

Type Parameters:

K - Type of the primary key.

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, Entity<K>

Direct Known Subclasses:

AbstractGeneratedIdEntity, AbstractIdEntity, GeneratedLongIdEntity, LongIdEntity

@MappedSuperclass
public abstract class AbstractEntity<K>
extends java.lang.Object
implements Entity<K>

Represents an entity with a primary key. The method getId() must be implemented, even if the primary key has a different field name, also make sure that the primary key implements equals/hashcode correctly. hashCode() and equals() are based on the id, so make sure not to use the in any context where these methods are important while no id is set (e.g. in HashMaps).
