  +--oracle.jbo.domain.NullValue

public class NullValue

extends java.lang.Object

implements DomainInterface, java.io.Serializable

Provides a means of creating and serializing null Domain objects.

The zero-parameter constructors for each Domain type produce default objects, rather than null objects. Use the constructors for this class to produce typed null Domain objects.

Since:

JDeveloper 3.0

Constructor Summary

NullValue()
Creates a default null Domain object, of type VARCHAR.

NullValue(int sqlTypeId)
Creates a null value for a specified Domain type.

NullValue(java.lang.String sqlType)
Creates a null value for a specified Domain type.

Method Summary

boolean	equals(java.lang.Object obj) Tests this for equality with another object.
java.lang.Object	getData() Internal: Applications should not invoke this method.
java.lang.String	getSQLType() Converts this to string naming a JDBC type.
int	getSQLTypeId() Converts this to a JDBC type ID.
int	hashCode() Generates a hashcode for NullValue.
void	setContext(DomainOwnerInterface owner, Transaction trans, java.lang.Object ctx) Internal: Applications should not invoke this method.
java.lang.String	toString() For testing purposes only: converts this to a string.
