public interface SystemData
extends IdentifiableData

A system item is an item which has an additional id in the form of string. A system id is required when we need to make sure that we can get a specific item without knowing the numeric id. Example of such items are the root user and the everyone group. The system id:s are defined by the core layer, since the actual values are of no interest to the data layer. It is recommended that the id:s are constructed as: org.proteios.core.User.ROOT.

This interface defines Hibernate database mappings for the systemId property to the database column system_id. If a subclass wants to map the property to another column, it should override the getSystemId() method and add a Hibernate tag in the comment.

Hibernate also requires a setSystemId() method, so this must also be implemented even though it is not required by this interface.

Reference implementation

public String getSystemId()
{
   return systemId;
