Method Detail

getId

<E extends T> Id<E,I> getId()

Gets the id of this object.

A type for the identified must be specified to retrieve the id because identified objects might be inheritable. For example, assume Employee extends from Person and Person implements Transportable<Person, Long>. The following code would be possible.

 
 Id<Person, Long> id = employee.getId();
 Id<Employee, Long> id = employee.getId();
 
 

Returns:

the id of this object
