#Spring Roo Timestamp Add-on

This Spring Roo timestamp add-on allows you to easily add timestamp fields for 'created' and 'updated' to your JPA entities. It provides an @RooTimestamp annotation.

##Quick start to using the timestamp add-on

Download the latest snapshot located in downloads here com.rcaloras.roo.addon.timestamp-0.1.3-SNAPSHOT.jar Or you can grab releases from the Maven Repo

From a Roo shell:

osgi start --url file://$PATH_TO_DOWNLOAD/com.rcaloras.roo.addon.timestamp-0.1.3-SNAPSHOT.jar
timestamp setup
timestamp all

###Annotate your entities with @RooTimestamp

@RooJavaBean
@RooToString
@RooJpaActiveRecord
@RooTimestamp
public class Location  {
	
	String name;

	String address;

	String city;

	....
}

ITDs are then created for each entity marked

privileged aspect Location_Roo_Timestamp {
    
    @Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP)
    @DateTimeFormat(style = "M-")
    private Date Location.created;
    
    @Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP)
    @DateTimeFormat(style = "M-")
    private Date Location.updated;
    
    @PrePersist
    public void Location.onCreate() {
        this.created=new java.util.Date();
    }
    
    @PreUpdate
    public void Location.onUpdate() {
        this.updated=new java.util.Date();
    }

    //Also adds Mutators and Accessors for created and updated
    public Date Location.getCreated() {
        return this.created;
    }
    
    public void Location.setCreated(Date created) {
        this.created = created;
    }

    ....
    
}
