Parameters:

column - The column that the component is in.

Method Detail

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()

Clones this ColumnComponentInfo.

Specified by:

clone in class ComponentInfo

Returns:

The clone of this ColumnComponentInfo.

setColumn

public void setColumn(int col)

Sets the column. This method allows reuse of this ColumnComponentInfo.

Parameters:

col - The column for which you want to use this ColumnComponentInfo.

getColumn

public int getColumn()

Retrieves the column number. Column numbers start at zero.

Returns:

The column number.

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object o)

Indicates whether the specified object is equivalent to this ColumnComponentInfo. ColumnComponentInfo objects are equivalent if they refer to the same column.

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

Parameters:

o - The object to compare with this ColumnComponentInfo.

Returns:

true if both objects refer to the same column, false if not or if o is not a ColumnComponentInfo.

getQDR

public QDR getQDR(DataAccess dataAccess,
                  int flags)

Retrieves a QDR for this ColumnComponentInfo. The QDR identifies the dimension members for the data column for which this ColumnComponentInfo provides information.

For example, say you have the following column header in a crosstab.

Boston		Paris
January 2000	February 2000	January 2000	February 2000

In a ColumnComponentInfo for the first column in the databody that corresponds to this column header, the QDR limits Geography to Boston, and it limits Time to January 2000.

Specified by:

getQDR in class ComponentInfo

Parameters:

dataAccess - The DataAccess that provided the data for the column that this ColumnComponentInfo describes.

flags - A constant that identifies whether to include page edge information if the QDR is not for the page edge. Valid constants are listed in the See Also section.

Returns:

A QDR that identifies the column of data that this ColumnComponentInfo describes.

See Also:

DataAccess.QDR_WITH_PAGE, DataAccess.QDR_WITHOUT_PAGE

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Specified by:

hashCode in class ComponentInfo

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Produces a String that identifies the column.

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object
