Model APIs generate random ID on read

XMLWordPrintable

      The base elements of all Model APIs have to following code snippet in there constructor:

        public CmmnElementImpl(ModelTypeInstanceContext instanceContext) {
    super(instanceContext);
    if (getId() == null) {
      setId(ModelUtil.getUniqueIdentifier(getElementType()));
    }
  }

      This generates a Random ID if no ID is set. It isn't a good idea to do this in the constructor as it is also called on read of a file. So if the file doesn't contain an ID for the process/case/decision a new random one will be generated. Which differs between reads.

      Instead we could generate this ID only if the model API is used to create elements.

        This is the controller panel for Smart Panels app
