  +--oracle.jbo.domain.Array

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public class Array

extends java.lang.Object

implements java.io.Serializable

This class provides a lightweight wrapper for oracle.sql.ARRAY, the Java representation of the ARRAY database type. This wrapper allows an instance of the oracle.sql.ARRAY to be used as an immutable Domain object. This class also provides a wrapper for the data that comes from nested tables and nested arrays.

Since:

JDeveloper 3.0

             byte[] bytes)
      throws java.sql.SQLException

Internal: Applications should not use this constructor.

Method Detail

getCustomDatumFactory

public static CustomDatumFactory getCustomDatumFactory()

Internal: Applications should not use this method.

useElementType

public void useElementType(java.lang.Class claz)

If this array's element Type is not already set, use the given class as the element Type for this array.

toDatum

public Datum toDatum(oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleConnection conn)
              throws java.sql.SQLException

Internal: Applications should not use this method.

java.sql.SQLException

getData

public java.lang.Object getData()

Internal: Applications should not use this method.

domainToBeModified

public void domainToBeModified(DomainInterface d)

Notification method that this domain calls whenever any of its attribute values are about to be modified. This Domain should always notify its owner.

Parameters:

d - the domain being modified.

setContext

public void setContext(DomainOwnerInterface owner,
                       Transaction trans,
                       java.lang.Object ctx)

Internal: Applications should not use this method.

getRemoteIdString

public java.lang.String getRemoteIdString()

getArray

public java.lang.Object[] getArray()

Returns the elements of this array into an Object array. The elements are converted to the Java types corresponding to the SQL type of the data in the original array.

Returns:

an Object array that contains the array elements.

getInternalArray

public java.lang.Object[] getInternalArray()

getElemType

public java.lang.Class getElemType()

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

Tests this for equality with another object.

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

Parameters:

obj - an arbitrary Object.

Returns:

true if conversion was successful and the converted argument is identical to this.

getXMLElementTag

protected java.lang.String getXMLElementTag()

Returns this class name as XML-element tag for this Array domain object. Override this method to return a custom XML-element tag for this domain.

getElemXMLElementTag

protected java.lang.String getElemXMLElementTag()

Returns the classname of this domain, appended with the name of the attribute as XML-element tag for this domain-attribute. Override this method to return a custom XML-element tag for the given attribute.

isElemXMLCData

protected boolean isElemXMLCData()

Returns false always. Override to determine whether the given domain-attribute is to be rendered in CDATA format in xml.

getXMLContentNode

public Node getXMLContentNode(Document xmlDoc)

Creates the XML node in the given xml document for this domain's data.

Parameters:

xmlDoc - the XML document in which the node is to be created.

readAttrsFromXML

protected void readAttrsFromXML(Element rowElt)

Reads all the attribute values from the XML-element and sets them into this row. If the XML has a process instruction of the form: <?bc4j remove?> then, invokes remove() on this row.

Parameters:

rowElt - the XML element from which the attribute values should be read.
