Adding required properties

Adding identifier property

Support for composite primary keys

You can mark several properties of your class as identifier properties. In this case these properties will build up a composite primary key. Hyperjaxb3 detects declarations of composite primary keys and automatically generates the required identifier class.

Consider the following schema snippet:

<xsd:complexType name="Parent">
    <xsd:sequence>
        <xsd:element name="children" type="Child" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" />
    </xsd:sequence>
    <xsd:attribute name="pk1" type="xsd:string">
        <xsd:annotation><xsd:appinfo><hj:id /></xsd:appinfo></xsd:annotation>
    </xsd:attribute>
    <xsd:attribute name="pk2" type="xsd:string">
        <xsd:annotation><xsd:appinfo><hj:id /></xsd:appinfo</xsd:annotation>
    </xsd:attribute>
    <xsd:attribute name="parentData" type="xsd:string"/>
</xsd:complexType>

This type declares two id properties (attributes pk1 and pk2). To map this composite primary key, HJ3 will generate a ParentId class:

Parent.java

...
@Entity(name = "org.jvnet.hyperjaxb3.ejb.tests.ids.tests.Parent")
@Table(name = "PARENT")
@IdClass(Parent.ParentId.class)
@Inheritance(strategy = InheritanceType.JOINED)
public class Parent implements Equals, HashCode
{
    ...
 
    @Id
    @Column(name = "PK1")
    public String getPk1() { ... }
 
    ...
 
    @Id
    @Column(name = "PK2")
    public String getPk2() { ... }
 
    ...
 
    public static class ParentId implements Serializable, Equals, HashCode
    {
 
        protected String pk1;
 
        protected String pk2;
 
        public String getPk1() { ... }
 
        public void setPk1(String value) { ... }
 
        public String getPk2() { ... }
 
        public void setPk2(String value) { ... }
 
        public boolean equals(Object object) { ... }
 
        public int hashCode() { ... }
 
    }
}

Many thanks to Constantine Kulak who helped with this feature.
