oracle.jbo.domain
Class Ref

java.lang.Object
oracle.jbo.domain.Ref

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, DomainInterface, oracle.jdbc.internal.ObjectData, ORAData

public class Ref

extends java.lang.Object

implements DomainInterface, ORAData, java.io.Serializable

This class provides a lightweight wrapper for oracle.sql.Ref, the Java representation of the REF database type. This wrapper allows an instance of the oracle.sql.Ref to be used as an immutable Domain object.

The oracle.jbo.domain.Ref class is the Java representation of the underlying database type that you must use if you want to exploit the domain feature of Business Components for Java.

Since:

JDeveloper 3.0

Constructor Detail

Ref

protected Ref()
       throws java.sql.SQLException

Internal: Applications should not invoke this constructor.

Throws:

java.sql.SQLException

Ref

public Ref(java.lang.String structName,
           byte[] data)

Internal: Applications should not invoke this constructor.

Creates a Ref Domain object.

Ref

public Ref(Datum d)
    throws java.sql.SQLException

Internal: Applications should not invoke this constructor.

Throws:

java.sql.SQLException

Method Detail

getORADataFactory

public static ORADataFactory getORADataFactory()

Internal: Applications should not invoke this method.

Initializes the Ref Domain. This method is invoked when Business Components for Java is initialized.

Returns:

the ORADataFactory for the Ref Domain.

toDatum

public Datum toDatum(java.sql.Connection conn)
              throws java.sql.SQLException

Internal: Applications should not invoke this method.

Converts this Ref Domain object back into a SQL REF object.

Specified by:

toDatum in interface ORAData

Parameters:

conn - OracleConnection Not used.

Returns:

A Datum containing REF object.

Throws:

java.sql.SQLException - Never.

setContext

public void setContext(DomainOwnerInterface owner,
                       Transaction trans,
                       java.lang.Object fac)

Internal: Applications should not invoke this method.

Specified by:

setContext in interface DomainInterface

getData

public java.lang.Object getData()

Internal: Applications should not invoke this method.

Converts this to a JDBC object.

Specified by:

getData in interface DomainInterface

Returns:

the JDBC representation of this, or null, if the conversion fails.

getStructName

public java.lang.String getStructName()

Returns the name of the struct associated with this RefDomain.

Returns:

the name of the struct.

getBytes

public byte[] getBytes()

Returns the contents of the Ref in byte format.

Returns:

a byte array containing the contents of the Ref.

getReferencedObject

public Row getReferencedObject(DomainAttributeDef ad)

Returns an an instance of the refernced row, given the attribute definition object. The referenced row is returned as an Row object.

Parameters:

ad - the attribute's attribute definition object.

Returns:

the row corredsponding to the attribute definition object.

Row

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

Tests this for equality with another object.

The argument is converted to a Ref object, if necessary.

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

Parameters:

obj - an arbitrary Object.

Returns:

true if conversion was successful and the converted argument is identical to this.
