Method Detail

id

long id()

A unique id for this Entity. Ids are guaranteed to remain stable for the duration of the session they were found in, but may be re-used for other entities after that. As such, if you want a public identity to use for your entities, attaching an explicit 'id' property or similar persistent and unique identifier is a better choice.

Returns:

the id of this entity
