---------------------------------------
Summary: Make subclassing a PK Generator easier
Key: CAY-2889
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAY-2889
Project: Cayenne
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Core Library
Reporter: Michael Ray Gentry
Fix For: Undefined future
The *{{MySQLPkGenerator}}* makes two *{{super}}* calls that make subclassing
more difficult:
# super.pkSelectString(entityName)
# super.pkUpdateString(entityName)
The *{{super.}}* prefix should be removed to make it easier to subclass
*{{MySQLPkGenerator}}* since *{{pkSelectString}}* and *{{pkUpdateString}}* are
only implemented in the superclass ({*}{{JdbcPkGenerator}}{*}) and will get
called by default since *{{MySQLPkGenerator}}* lacks those methods, but if
someone subclasses *{{MySQLPkGenerator}}* and adds *{{pkSelectString}}* and/or
*{{pkUpdateString}}* then the custom subclass methods will handle that logic
instead of *{{JdbcPkGenerator}}* once the *{{super.}}* prefix is removed.
See the developer mailing list conversation started by Robert Decker on April
30, 2025.
Additionally, check the other PK Generator classes to see if they suffer from
this issue.
