public interface TopiaEntity
extends Serializable

The TopiaEntity is the main interface for each entities generated with TopiaMetaTransformer. An entity is simply a persistent bean mapped with hibernate. The manipulation on entities (create, update, delete, find) is made by the dao associated. The corresponding dao interface is TopiaDAO.

Setter methods have to be used only in internal. They are in the interface to make easier their usages in internal.

Method Detail

getTopiaId

String getTopiaId()

Unique technical Id of the entity. This id contains the full qualified name of the entity interface. This id has also an index and his used to identify uniquely the entity in the database.

Returns:

the technical Id of the entity

setTopiaId

void setTopiaId(String id)

Set the technical id of the entity. Careful, use this method only for copy. The technical id is generated by ToPIA when entity is created using TopiaDAO.create(Object...).

Parameters:

id - technical id to set

getTopiaVersion

long getTopiaVersion()

Technical property to keep versionning of the entity. The version is incremented on each change of the entity.

Returns:

the current version of the entity

setTopiaVersion

void setTopiaVersion(long version)

Set the technical version of the entity. Careful, use this method only for copy. The version is automatically incremented on entity changes.

Parameters:

version - technical version to set

getTopiaCreateDate

Date getTopiaCreateDate()

Technical date creation of the entity. This date doesn't change through time and was initialized on entity creation when using TopiaDAO.create(Object...).

Returns:

the creation date of the entity

setTopiaCreateDate

void setTopiaCreateDate(Date date)

Set the technical creation date of the entity. Careful, use this method only for copy. This date is immutable and was created on entity creation.

Parameters:

date - technical create date to set

getComposite

List<TopiaEntity> getComposite()
                               throws TopiaException

Returns:

all object that must be deleted if this object is deleted

Throws:

TopiaException - if any pb

getAggregate

List<TopiaEntity> getAggregate()
                               throws TopiaException

Returns:

all object that are aggregate with this instance, aggreate object are not removed automaticaly

Throws:

TopiaException - if any pb
