Unique Identifiers

Assembly is done using the provided Assembler:

new UuidServiceAssembler().visibleIn( layer ).assemble( moduleAssembly );

Usage is quite simple:

@Service UuidService uuidService;

public void doSomething()
{
    String id1 = uuidService.generateUuid( 0 );
    // eg. 1020ECBB-098C-46E0-94DC-F78E2265EAA1-36

    String id2 = uuidService.generateUuid( 12 );
    // eg. 84E06578EAE3
}

Sequencing

Sequencing is used to automatically generate a sequence of numbers.

The algorithm is that currentSequenceValue is the number that was last returned in a newSequenceValue call, and will initially be zero. Persisting Sequencing services defines "initially" as the first run ever, as subsequent starts may retrieve the currentSequenceValue from an EntityStore.

Transient Sequences

Assembly is done using the provided Assembler:

new TransientSequencingAssembler().visibleIn( layer ).assemble( moduleAssembly );

Usage is quite simple:

@Service Sequencing sequencing;

public void doSomething()
{
    sequencing.currentSequenceValue(); // return 0

    sequencing.newSequenceValue(); // return 1
    sequencing.currentSequenceValue(); // return 1
}
Persisted Sequences

Assembly is done using the provided Assembler:

new PersistingSequencingAssembler().visibleIn( layer ).assemble( moduleAssembly );

Usage is quite simple:

@Service Sequencing sequencing;

public void doSomething()
{
    sequencing.currentSequenceValue(); // return 0

    sequencing.newSequenceValue(); // return 1
    sequencing.currentSequenceValue(); // return 1
}
