Class GeneratedKeyHolder

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    KeyHolder

    public class GeneratedKeyHolder
    extends Object
    implements KeyHolder
    The standard implementation of the KeyHolder interface, to be used for holding auto-generated keys (as potentially returned by JDBC insert statements).

    Create an instance of this class for each insert operation, and pass it to the corresponding JdbcTemplate or SqlUpdate methods.

      • getKey

        public Number getKey()
                      throws InvalidDataAccessApiUsageException,
                             DataRetrievalFailureException
        Description copied from interface: KeyHolder
        Retrieve the first item from the first map, assuming that there is just one item and just one map, and that the item is a number. This is the typical case: a single, numeric generated key.

        Keys are held in a List of Maps, where each item in the list represents the keys for each row. If there are multiple columns, then the Map will have multiple entries as well. If this method encounters multiple entries in either the map or the list meaning that multiple keys were returned, then an InvalidDataAccessApiUsageException is thrown.

        Specified by:
        getKey in interface KeyHolder
        Returns:
        the generated key as a number
        Throws:
        InvalidDataAccessApiUsageException - if multiple keys are encountered
        DataRetrievalFailureException
      • getKeyList

        public List<Map<String,​Object>> getKeyList()
        Description copied from interface: KeyHolder
        Return a reference to the List that contains the keys.

        Can be used for extracting keys for multiple rows (an unusual case), and also for adding new maps of keys.

        Specified by:
        getKeyList in interface KeyHolder
        Returns:
        the List for the generated keys, with each entry representing an individual row through a Map of column names and key values
