Interface ORADataFactory


public abstract interface ORADataFactory

ORAData factory interface.

This interface complements ORAData. It is passed to getORAData() to create customized ORAData objects. The following example shows the typical use of this interface:

EmpFactory factory = new EmpFactory();
OracleResultSet rs = ... ;
Emp m = (Emp) rs.getORAData(column, factory);
...

This interface is the replacement of the old CustomDatumFactory interface that has been deprecated in the Oracle 9i release.
