javax.resource.cci
Interface Record

All Superinterfaces:

Cloneable, Serializable

All Known Subinterfaces:

IndexedRecord, MappedRecord, ResultSet

public interface Record
extends Cloneable, Serializable

The javax.resource.cci.Record interface is the base interface for the representation of an input or output to the execute methods defined on an Interaction.

The Record interface can be extended to form a one of the following representations:

• MappedRecord: A key-value pair based collection represents a record. This interface is based on the java.util.Map
• IndexedRecord:An ordered and indexed collection represents a record. This interface is based on the java.util.List.
• JavaBean based representation of an EIS abstraction: An example is a custom record generated to represent a purchase order in an ERP system.
• javax.resource.cci.ResultSet: This interface extends both java.sql.ResultSet and javax.resource.cci.Record. A ResultSet represents tabular data.

A MappedRecord or IndexedRecord can contain another Record. This means that MappedRecord and IndexedRecord can be used to create a hierarchical structure of any arbitrary depth. A basic Java type is used as the leaf element of a hierarchical structure represented by a MappedRecord or IndexedRecord.

Method Detail

getRecordName

String getRecordName()

Gets the name of the Record.

Returns:

String representing name of the Record

setRecordName

void setRecordName(String name)

Sets the name of the Record.

Parameters:

name - Name of the Record

setRecordShortDescription

void setRecordShortDescription(String description)

Sets a short description string for the Record. This property is used primarily by application development tools.

Parameters:

description - Description of the Record

getRecordShortDescription

String getRecordShortDescription()

Gets a short description string for the Record. This property is used primarily by application development tools.

Returns:

String representing a short description of the Record

equals

boolean equals(Object other)

Check if this instance is equal to another Record.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Returns:

true if two instances are equal

hashCode

int hashCode()

Returns the hash code for the Record instance.

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

Returns:

hash code

clone

Object clone()
             throws CloneNotSupportedException

Creates and returns a copy of this object. The precise meaning of "copy" may depend on the class of the object.

Returns:

a clone of this instance.

Throws:

CloneNotSupportedException - If the object's class does not support the Cloneable interface Subclasses that override the clone method can also throw this exception to indicate that an instance cannot be cloned.
