=== Entity State Detection Strategies
|
||||
|
||||
The following table describes the strategies that Spring Data R2DBC offers for detecting whether an entity is new:

||||
|
||||
.Options for detection whether an entity is new in Spring Data R2DBC
|
||||
[options = "autowidth"]
|
||||
|===============
|
||||
|Id-Property inspection (the default) |By default, the `save()` method inspects the identifier property of the given entity.
|
||||
If the identifier property is `null`, then the entity is assumed to be new. Otherwise, it is assumed exist in the datbase.
|
||||
|Implementing `Persistable` |If an entity implements `Persistable`, Spring Data R2DBC delegates the new detection to the `isNew(…)` method of the entity.
|
||||
See the link:$$https://docs.spring.io/spring-data/data-commons/docs/current/api/index.html?org/springframework/data/domain/Persistable.html$$[Javadoc] for details.
|
||||
|Implementing `EntityInformation` |You can customize the `EntityInformation` abstraction used in `SimpleR2dbcRepository` by creating a subclass of `R2dbcRepositoryFactory` and overriding `getEntityInformation(…)`.
|
||||
You then have to register the custom implementation of `R2dbcRepositoryFactory` as a Spring bean.
|
||||
Note that this should rarely be necessary. See the link:{spring-data-r2dbc-javadoc}/org/springframework/data/r2dbc/repository/support/R2dbcRepositoryFactory.html[Javadoc] for details.

[[r2dbc.entity-persistence.id-generation]]
|
||||
=== ID Generation
|
||||
|
||||
Spring Data R2DBC uses the ID to identify entities.
|
||||
The ID of an entity must be annotated with Spring Data's https://docs.spring.io/spring-data/commons/docs/current/api/org/springframework/data/annotation/Id.html[`@Id`] annotation.
|
||||
|
||||
When your database has an auto-increment column for the ID column, the generated value gets set in the entity after inserting it into the database.
|
||||
|
||||
One important constraint is that, after saving an entity, the entity must not be new anymore.
|
||||
Note that whether an entity is new is part of the entity's state.
|
||||
With auto-increment columns, this happens automatically, because the ID gets set by Spring Data with the value from the ID column.
