boolean __hasNumericPrimaryKeys

(

EOClassDescription

classDescription

)

This API will likely change. Override if you have to for now, but I'm not sure if it makes more sense to return an array of pk classes, a map of pk to pk class, this boolean, or an array of pk attribute names. If we return pk names, we could probably get rid of primaryKeyForObject, or at least fully implement it in ERXAbstractRestDelegate, but I don't want to fully commit to this API yet. In the meantime, this at least provides a stapgap for automatic registration.

Parameters:

classDescription

the class description in question

Returns:

whether or not the given class description has numeric pks

Implemented in ERXAbstractRestDelegate, and ERXEORestDelegate.

Object createObjectOfEntityWithID	(	EOClassDescription	entity,
		Object	id
	)

Creates a new instance of the entity.

Parameters:

entity

the entity

Returns:

a new instance of the entity

Implemented in ERXAbstractRestDelegate.

Object objectOfEntityWithID	(	EOClassDescription	entity,
		Object	id
	)

Returns the object with the given entity and ID.

Parameters:

	entity	the entity
	id	the ID of the object

Returns:

the object with the given entity and ID

Implemented in ERXAbstractRestDelegate.

Object primaryKeyForObject

(

Object

obj

)

Returns the primary key for the specified object.

Parameters:

obj

the object to return a pk for

Returns:

the primary key of the object

Implemented in ERXAbstractRestDelegate.

void setEditingContext
