Class CurrentTimestampGeneration

java.lang.Object

org.hibernate.generator.internal.CurrentTimestampGeneration

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, BeforeExecutionGenerator, Generator, OnExecutionGenerator

public class CurrentTimestampGeneration
extends Object
implements BeforeExecutionGenerator, OnExecutionGenerator

Value generation strategy which produces a timestamp using the database current_timestamp function or the JVM current instant.

Underlies the CurrentTimestamp, CreationTimestamp, and UpdateTimestamp annotations.

Since:

6.0

generatedOnExecution

public boolean generatedOnExecution()

Description copied from interface: Generator

Determines if the property value is generated when a row is written to the database, or in Java code that executes before the row is written.

• Generators which only implement BeforeExecutionGenerator must result false.
• Generators which only implement OnExecutionGenerator must result true.
• Generators which implement both subinterfaces may decide at runtime what value to return.

Specified by:

generatedOnExecution in interface BeforeExecutionGenerator

Specified by:

generatedOnExecution in interface Generator

Specified by:

generatedOnExecution in interface OnExecutionGenerator

Returns:

true if the value is generated by the database as a side effect of the execution of an insert or update statement, or false if it is generated in Java code before the statement is executed via JDBC.

getEventTypes

public EnumSet<EventType> getEventTypes()

Description copied from interface: Generator

The event types for which this generator should be called to produce a new value.

Identifier generators must return EventTypeSets.INSERT_ONLY.

Specified by:

getEventTypes in interface Generator

Returns:

a set of EventTypes.

generate

public Object generate(SharedSessionContractImplementor session,
 Object owner,
 Object currentValue,
 EventType eventType)

Description copied from interface: BeforeExecutionGenerator

Generate a value.

Specified by:

generate in interface BeforeExecutionGenerator

Parameters:

session - The session from which the request originates.

owner - The instance of the object owning the attribute for which we are generating a value.

currentValue - The current value assigned to the property, or null

eventType - The type of event that has triggered generation of a new value

Returns:

The generated value

writePropertyValue

public boolean writePropertyValue()

Description copied from interface: OnExecutionGenerator

Determines if the property values are written to JDBC as the argument of a JDBC ? parameter.

Specified by:

writePropertyValue in interface OnExecutionGenerator

referenceColumnsInSql

public boolean referenceColumnsInSql(Dialect dialect)

Description copied from interface: OnExecutionGenerator

Determines if the columns whose values are generated are included in the column list of the SQL insert or update statement. For example, this method should return:

• true if the value is generated by calling a SQL function like current_timestamp, or
• false if the value is generated by a trigger, by generated always as, or using a column default value.

Specified by:

referenceColumnsInSql in interface OnExecutionGenerator

Returns:

true if the column is included in the column list of the SQL statement.

getReferencedColumnValues

public String[] getReferencedColumnValues(Dialect dialect)

Description copied from interface: OnExecutionGenerator

A SQL expression indicating how to calculate the generated values when the mapped columns are included in the SQL statement. The SQL expressions might be:

• function calls like current_timestamp or nextval('mysequence'), or
• syntactic markers like default.

Specified by:

getReferencedColumnValues in interface OnExecutionGenerator

Parameters:

dialect - The SQL dialect, allowing generation of an expression in dialect-specific SQL.

Returns:

The column value to be used in the generated SQL statement.
