All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public abstract class Struct

extends java.lang.Object

implements java.io.Serializable

This class provides a lightweight wrapper for oracle.sql.STRUCT, the Java representation of the Struct database type. This wrapper allows an instance of the oracle.sql.STRUCT to be used as a domain object.

The oracle.jbo.domain.StructDomain class is the Java representation of the underlying database type that you must use if you want to exploit the domain feature of Business Components for Java.

JDeveloper 3.0
