Class ObjectArrayMapping

      oracle.toplink.mappings.AggregateMapping
          oracle.toplink.mappings.foundation.AbstractCompositeCollectionMapping
              oracle.toplink.sdk.SDKAggregateCollectionMapping
                  oracle.toplink.objectrelational.ObjectArrayMapping

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable, ContainerMapping, SDKCollectionMapping

public class ObjectArrayMapping
extends SDKAggregateCollectionMapping

Purpose: In an object-relational data model, structures can contain "Arrays" or collections of other data-types. In Oracle 8i, a Varray is typically used to represent a collection of primitive data or aggregate structures. These arrays are stored with their parent structure in the same table.

ArrayMapping is used to map a collection of primitive data

ObjectArrayMapping is used to map a collection of Oracle data-type

NOTE: Only Oracle8i supports Varray type.

Since:

TOPLink/Java 3.0

Method Detail

getStructureName

public java.lang.String getStructureName()

Return the name of the structure. This is the name of the user defined data type as defined on the database.

setFieldName

public void setFieldName(java.lang.String fieldName)

Description copied from class: oracle.toplink.sdk.SDKAggregateCollectionMapping

Set the mapping's field name. This is the field in the database row that will hold the nested rows that make up the aggregate collection.

Overrides:

setFieldName in class SDKAggregateCollectionMapping

setStructureName

public void setStructureName(java.lang.String structureName)

Set the name of the structure. This is the name of the user defined data type as defined on the database.
