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.
