get next id from idbroker

[Mcclain Looney <mc...@looneys.net>]

Greetings all,

I've poked around the turbine site, and searched the archives, but I still 
can't figure out how to get the next id from an IdBroker inside of an action.

I have a table which represents a tree of objects, where .., eh, here's the 
short version: 

<table name="CONTAINER">
    <column name="ID" required="true" autoIncrement="true" primaryKey="true" 
type="INTEGER"/>
    <column name="EID" size="255" type="VARCHAR"/>
    <column name="PARENT" required="true" type="INTEGER"/>
  </table>


basically, each container can have a parent, a root node's parent id  is it's 
own id. a simple tree.

my problem is that when saving a root node, i need to know the next id, so as 
to set the parent id to the root node's own id.

is it possible to get the next id from the id broker from inside an action? or 
should i just change my table so that root nodes use null for parent ?

I figured it out eventually, for posterity, the answer is to get the 
databaseMap from TurbineDB thusly:

DatabaseMap dbMap = TurbineDB.getDatabaseMap();
int newId = dbMap.getIDBroker().getNextIds("CONTAINER", 1)[0].intValue();
