Interface AggregateIdentifier

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractAggregateIdentifier, StringAggregateIdentifier, UUIDAggregateIdentifier

public interface AggregateIdentifier
extends Serializable

Interface to the type that uniquely identifies an aggregate of a certain type.

Two identifiers are considered equals when their internal (backing) values are equal, regardles of the actual implementation type.

Implementation guidelines:
Each identifier should have a non-null String representation. Implementations are REQUIRED to return this representation in the asString() method. They MAY also return this representation in the toString() method.
When two identifiers are compared they are equal if their String representation is equal.
