oracle.jbo.domain
Interface BlobDomainInterface

All Known Implementing Classes:

BFileDomain, ClobDomain, BlobDomain

public interface BlobDomainInterface

extends DomainInterface

Provides methods to save data to, and extract data from, LOB domain classes. These methods are implemented by all LOB-based domain classes: BlobDomain, BFileDomain, and ClobDomain.

Domain classes encapsulate Oracle SQL datatypes. Domain objects can be converted to the standard JDBC data types.

Since:

JDevloper 3.0

The transaction argument is needed to perform an additional query into the database to extract the data.

This method does not need to be invoked for a new attribute.

Parameters:

transaction - the DBTransactionImpl of the current Application Module.

saveToDatabase

saveToDatabase

public void saveToDatabase(Transaction transaction,
                           java.lang.Object emptySQLObject)
                    throws java.lang.Exception
