Package org.hibernate.engine.spi

Class EntityKey

java.lang.Object

org.hibernate.engine.spi.EntityKey

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public final class EntityKey
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable

Uniquely identifies of an entity instance in a particular Session by identifier. Note that it's only safe to be used within the scope of a Session: it doesn't consider for example the tenantId as part of the equality definition.

Information used to determine uniqueness consists of the entity-name and the identifier value (see equals(java.lang.Object)).

Performance considerations: lots of instances of this type are created at runtime. Make sure each one is as small as possible by storing just the essential needed.

Constructor Detail

EntityKey

public EntityKey(java.io.Serializable id,
                 EntityPersister persister)

Construct a unique identifier for an entity class instance.

NOTE : This signature has changed to accommodate both entity mode and multi-tenancy, both of which relate to the Session to which this key belongs. To help minimize the impact of these changes in the future, the SharedSessionContractImplementor.generateEntityKey(java.io.Serializable, org.hibernate.persister.entity.EntityPersister) method was added to hide the session-specific changes.

Parameters:

id - The entity id

persister - The entity persister

serialize

public void serialize(java.io.ObjectOutputStream oos)
               throws java.io.IOException

Custom serialization routine used during serialization of a Session/PersistenceContext for increased performance.

Parameters:

oos - The stream to which we should write the serial data.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - Thrown by Java I/O

deserialize

public static EntityKey deserialize(java.io.ObjectInputStream ois,
                                    SessionFactoryImplementor sessionFactory)
                             throws java.io.IOException,
                                    java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

Custom deserialization routine used during deserialization of a Session/PersistenceContext for increased performance.

Parameters:

ois - The stream from which to read the entry.

sessionFactory - The SessionFactory owning the Session being deserialized.

Returns:

The deserialized EntityEntry

Throws:

java.io.IOException - Thrown by Java I/O

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException - Thrown by Java I/O
