[Opensource] Accessing auto-inc key fields after add()

[Mike Traum]

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think you'll want to use
auto-inc if you need to access the number without doing a query afterwards.
Use the NextNumber object instead:

(out of the Expresso How-to guide)
import com.jcorporate.expresso.core.dbobj.NextNumber;
NextNumber myNext = NextNumber.getInstance();
int uniqNum = (int)myNext.getNext(request.getDBName(), yourDBObj, "id");
yourDBObj.setField("id", uniqNum);
yourDBObj.add();

Hi,
If my DBObject has a key as an auto-inc field, how can
i access this key after adding the DBObject to the
database, namely ,is it set after the add() operation
and can i get it with getField()?

Thanks...
