public void initialize(A annotation, Class<?> propertyType) Initializes this generation strategy for the given annotation instance. Parameters annotation:A an instance of the strategy's annotation type. Typically implementations will retrieve the annotation's attribute values and store them in fields. propertyType:Class<?> the type of the property annotated with the generator annotation. Implementations may use the type to determine the right `ValueGenerator` to be applied. Exceptions HibernateException: in case an error occurred during initialization, e.g. if an implementation can't create a value for the given property type.

public void initialize(A annotation, Class<?> propertyType)

Initializes this generation strategy for the given annotation instance.

Parameters

annotation:A: an instance of the strategy's annotation type. Typically implementations will retrieve the annotation's attribute values and store them in fields.
propertyType:Class<?>: the type of the property annotated with the generator annotation. Implementations may use the type to determine the right ValueGenerator to be applied.

Exceptions

HibernateException:: in case an error occurred during initialization, e.g. if an implementation can't create a value for the given property type.
