Method Detail

resolveTarget

VersionedAggregateIdentifier resolveTarget(@Nonnull
                                           CommandMessage<?> command)

Returns the Aggregate Identifier and optionally the expected version of the aggregate on which the given command should be executed.

The version may be null if no specific version is required. Furthermore, the returned VersionedAggregateIdentifier may be null entirely when the given command is targeted towards a CreationPolicy annotated command handler that (optionally) constructs a new aggregate instance.

Parameters:

command - The command from which to extract the identifier and version.

Returns:

A VersionedAggregateIdentifier instance reflecting the aggregate to execute the command on, or null when the command is targeted towards a CreationPolicy annotated command handler that constructs a new aggregate instance.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - If the command is not formatted correctly to extract this information.
