All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, DomainInterface, KeyAttributeInterface, MarshalledDomain, NativeTypeDomainInterface, oracle.jdbc.internal.ObjectData, ORAData

public class Char
extends CHAR
implements NativeTypeDomainInterface, KeyAttributeInterface, ORAData, java.io.Serializable, MarshalledDomain

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

The intent of many of the methods in this class is to wrap the corresponding method in the oracle.sql class such that it returns an instance of an oracle.jbo.domain.* object.

The oracle.jbo.domain.CHAR 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

java.sql.SQLException

Char

public Char(byte[] val,
            CharacterSet charset)

Creates a Char Domain object from a byte array representing a string of a given character set.

No validation is performed.

Parameters:

val - A byte array representing a charset string.

charset - An Oracle character set.

Char

public Char(byte[] val,
            int p1,
            int p2,
            CharacterSet charset)

Internal: Applications should not invoke this method.

Creates a Char Domain object from a range of a byte array representing a string of a given character set.

No validation is performed.

Parameters:

val - A byte array representing a charset string.

p1 - The index of the first byte in the range.

p2 - The number of bytes in the range.

charset - An Oracle character set.

Char

public Char(java.lang.String val,
            CharacterSet charset)
     throws java.sql.SQLException

Creates a Char Domain object from a String interpreted as a string of a given character set.

Parameters:

val - A unicode string interpreted as a charset string.

charset - An Oracle character set.

Throws:

SQLException - if val does not represent a character.

Method Detail

getORADataFactory

public static ORADataFactory getORADataFactory()

Internal: Applications should not invoke this method.

Initializes the Char Domain.

This method is invoked when Business Components for Java is initialized. Applications should not call this method directly.

Returns:

the ORADataFactory for the Char Domain.

toDatum

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

Internal: Applications should not invoke this method.

Converts this Char Domain object back into an SQL CHAR object.

Specified by:

toDatum in interface ORAData

Parameters:

conn - OracleConnection Not used.

Returns:

A Datum containing CHAR object.

Throws:

SQLException.

java.sql.SQLException

getNativeObject

public java.lang.Object getNativeObject()

Specified by:

getNativeObject in interface NativeTypeDomainInterface

getValue

public java.lang.String getValue()

Return a java.lang.String object with this domain's value. This method may be used to access the value for this domain in EL-expressions.

javabean.property

getData

public java.lang.Object getData()

Internal: Applications should not use this method.

Specified by:

getData in interface DomainInterface

Returns:

a formatted value object.

setContext

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

Internal: Applications should not use this method.

setContext in interface DomainInterface

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Computes a hash code for this CharDomain object. The Domain type is ignored.

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

the hash code of this CharDomain object.

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object other)

Tests this for equality with another object. Since JDeveloper 9.0.2, this method will also compare Char objects of different CharacterSets by converting the two CharacterSets into a common characterset if required, so as to compare and return the actual string differences.

Note that oracle.sql.CHAR does not perform such conversion before comparision. In Oracle9i database charset may be different from the charset of a client machine and that leads to different charsets in the CHAR object.

Overrides:

equals in class CHAR

Parameters:

other - An arbitrary Object.

Returns:

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

main

public static void main(java.lang.String[] argv)
                 throws java.sql.SQLException

Internal: Applications should not invoke this method.

For testing purposes only.

Specified by:

marshal in interface MarshalledDomain
