java.lang.Object

org.springframework.jdbc.support.GeneratedKeyHolder

All Implemented Interfaces:

KeyHolder

public class GeneratedKeyHolder
extends java.lang.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.

Method Detail

getKey

@Nullable
public java.lang.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

getKeys

@Nullable
public java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object> getKeys()
                                                                   throws InvalidDataAccessApiUsageException

Description copied from interface: KeyHolder

Retrieve the first map of keys.

If there are multiple entries in the list (meaning that multiple rows had keys returned), then an InvalidDataAccessApiUsageException is thrown.

Specified by:

getKeys in interface KeyHolder

Returns:

the Map of generated keys for a single row

Throws:

InvalidDataAccessApiUsageException - if keys for multiple rows are encountered

getKeyList

public java.util.List<java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.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
