Class RowSetMetaDataImpl

java.lang.Object
  extended by javax.sql.rowset.RowSetMetaDataImpl
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, ResultSetMetaData, Wrapper, RowSetMetaData

public class RowSetMetaDataImpl
extends Object
implements RowSetMetaData, Serializable

Provides implementations for the methods that set and get metadata information about a RowSet object's columns. A RowSetMetaDataImpl object keeps track of the number of columns in the rowset and maintains an internal array of column attributes for each column.

A RowSet object creates a RowSetMetaDataImpl object internally in order to set and retrieve information about its columns.

NOTE: All metadata in a RowSetMetaDataImpl object should be considered as unavailable until the RowSet object that it describes is populated. Therefore, any RowSetMetaDataImpl method that retrieves information is defined as having unspecified behavior when it is called before the RowSet object contains data.

getColumnClassName

public String getColumnClassName(int columnIndex)
                          throws SQLException
Retrieves the fully-qualified name of the class in the Java programming language to which a value in the designated column will be mapped. For example, if the value is an int, the class name returned by this method will be java.lang.Integer.

If the value in the designated column has a custom mapping, this method returns the name of the class that implements SQLData. When the method ResultSet.getObject is called to retrieve a value from the designated column, it will create an instance of this class or one of its subclasses.

Specified by:
getColumnClassName in interface ResultSetMetaData
Parameters:
columnIndex - the first column is 1, the second is 2, and so on; must be between 1 and the number of columns, inclusive
Returns:
the fully-qualified name of the class in the Java programming language that would be used by the method RowSet.getObject to retrieve the value in the specified column. This is the class name used for custom mapping when there is a custom mapping.
Throws:
SQLException - if a database access error occurs or the given column number is out of bounds

unwrap

public <T> T unwrap(Class<T> iface)
         throws SQLException
Returns an object that implements the given interface to allow access to non-standard methods, or standard methods not exposed by the proxy. The result may be either the object found to implement the interface or a proxy for that object. If the receiver implements the interface then that is the object. If the receiver is a wrapper and the wrapped object implements the interface then that is the object. Otherwise the object is the result of calling unwrap recursively on the wrapped object. If the receiver is not a wrapper and does not implement the interface, then an SQLException is thrown.

Specified by:
unwrap in interface Wrapper
Parameters:
iface - A Class defining an interface that the result must implement.
Returns:
an object that implements the interface. May be a proxy for the actual implementing object.
Throws:
SQLException - If no object found that implements the interface

isWrapperFor

public boolean isWrapperFor(Class<?> interfaces)
                     throws SQLException
Returns true if this either implements the interface argument or is directly or indirectly a wrapper for an object that does. Returns false otherwise. If this implements the interface then return true, else if this is a wrapper then return the result of recursively calling isWrapperFor on the wrapped object. If this does not implement the interface and is not a wrapper, return false. This method should be implemented as a low-cost operation compared to unwrap so that callers can use this method to avoid expensive unwrap calls that may fail. If this method returns true then calling unwrap with the same argument should succeed.

Specified by:
isWrapperFor in interface Wrapper
Parameters:
interfaces - a Class defining an interface.
Returns:
true if this implements the interface or directly or indirectly wraps an object that does.
Throws:
SQLException - if an error occurs while determining whether this is a wrapper for an object with the given interface.
Since:
1.6
