ORDImage Reference Information

interMedia Java Classes describes the ORDImage object type, which supports the storage and management of image data.

Methods invoked at the ORDImage level that are handed off for processing to the database source plug-in have byte[ ] ctx[ ] as a context parameter. In cases where a client system is connecting to a database server, the space for the parameter is created by the client (in the reference examples, 4000 bytes of space), but the content of the context parameter is generated by the server. The context parameter is passed from the client to the server for the processing of context information.


Note:

In the current release, not all source plug-ins will use or generate the context parameter, but if you include the parameter as previously described, your application should work with any current or future source plug-ins. 


See Oracle8i interMedia Audio, Image, and Video User's Guide and Reference for more information.

4.1 Prerequisites

You will need to include the following import statements in your Java file in order to run interMedia methods:

import java.sql.*;
import java.io.*;
import oracle.jdbc.driver.*;
import oracle.sql.*;
import oracle.ord.im.*;

The examples in this reference chapter are based on the assumption that the following operations have already been performed:

For examples of making a connection and populating a local object, see Section 2.2.2.
