[Xdoclet-devel] Utility Method

[Neale Swinnerton]

Hi,

I need to extract the PK from a Data object. I've written a template (ie .j ) snippet 
to generate a method of the form ...

   // method to extract the PK from a Data object.
   public CustomerPK getPKFrom(CustomerData data) {
      CustomerPK pk = new CustomerPK(); 
      pk.setCustomerIdf(data.getCustomerId());

      ...

      return pk;
   }

I've put it in the util.j template, although I was split whether it should
be in the Data object. If you want to include it a patch is attached. I'll
leave it to you to decide where it should 'really' go.
