Package oracle.javatools.db.property

Classes for dealing with properties in the database API.

See: Description

Interface Summary

Interface	Description
PropertyManager	A DBObjectProvider has an associated PropertyManager that can be queried to ask for the level of support a given property has.

Class Summary

Class	Description
AbstractPropertyManager
DerivedPropertyBuilder<T extends AbstractBuildableObject>	Abstract implementation of DBObjectBuilder specifically for the building of derived properties.
DisplayNames	Registry of displayable names for object types and properties in the API.
DynamicPropertyProvider	A DynamicPropertyProvider can be returned by a given PropertyInfo so that any child properties for that property are queried dynamically, rather than being retrieved from the static metadata.
Metadata	The database API contains a number of bean classes that represent the objects that can exist in a database (e.g.
Property	Property names for all properties supported in the database api.
PropertyAction	Used by the PropertyManager to indicate actions available on an object basis and a per-property basis.
PropertyCriteria	Criteria class that restricts the lookup of property information from the metadata.
PropertyDefinition	Implementation of PropertyInfo that allows each specific property trait to be set.
PropertyFilter
PropertyHelper	Helper class that allows you to get the value for a given property (path) on an object.
PropertyInfo	Wrapper for the PropertyDescriptor beans class that includes some db api specific accessors for the annotation information.
PropertyInitializer
PropertyIterator	Deprecated replaced by PropertyManager.getPropertyInfos(java.lang.Class<? extends oracle.javatools.db.DBObject>, oracle.javatools.db.property.PropertyCriteria).

Enum Summary

Enum	Description
Nullable.NullBehaviour
PropertyAction.ChildAction	Defines the different actions that can apply to a child property.
PropertyAction.Type	Defines the different types of property action.

Exception Summary

Exception	Description
MissingPropertyException	Exception class thrown by the property support when a given property is not known for the given object.
PropertyInitializer.InitializationVeto	For a particular DBObject instance and property name, a PropertyInitializer may choose to veto providing an initial value by throwing a PropertyInitializer.InitializationVeto exception.

Annotation Types Summary

Annotation Type	Description
After	Deprecated with no replacement (since 12.2.1).
Derived	Annotation to mark a bean property as being derived.
Internal	Annotation to mark a bean property as "internal" to the object.
Nullable	Annotation to define a property's default support for null as an allowed value.
NumberProperty	Provides extra metadata about a numeric property.
PropertyKey	Annotation to mark a static member as being a key in the properties map for retrieval of the given object from a DBObject.
References	Provides extra metadata about a reference property (i.e.
TextProperty	Provides extra metadata about a text property.
Transient	Annotation to mark a bean property as being transient and therefore should be ignored when the object is persisted/saved.

Package oracle.javatools.db.property Description

Classes for dealing with properties in the database API. Essentially a layer of metadata classes for the API.

All DBObject implementations are java beans, and therefore a given object has a number of properties through the bean's get and set methods. In addition extra (non-bean) properties can be regsitered with the API as well to be included in an object's property map.

To obtain information about a supported property for a DBObjectProvider, use the PropertyManager.

To obtain information about properties without a DBObjectProvider, use a PropertyHelper.
