Field Summary

protected boolean
lowerCase
Flag defining whether column names should be lower cased when converted to property names.
protected DynaProperty[]
properties
The set of dynamic properties that are part of this DynaClass.
protected Map
propertiesMap
The set of dynamic properties that are part of this DynaClass, keyed by the property name.

Method Summary

protected DynaProperty
createDynaProperty(ResultSetMetaData metadata, int i)
Factory method to create a new DynaProperty for the given index into the result set metadata.
DynaProperty[]
getDynaProperties()
Return an array of ProperyDescriptors for the properties currently defined in this DynaClass.
DynaProperty
getDynaProperty(String name)
Return a property descriptor for the specified property, if it exists; otherwise, return null.
String
getName()
Return the name of this DynaClass (analogous to the getName() method of java.lang.ClassDynaClass implementation class to support different dynamic classes, with different sets of properties.
protected void
introspect(ResultSet resultSet)
Introspect the metadata associated with our result set, and populate the properties and propertiesMap instance variables.
protected Class
loadClass(String className)
Loads and returns the Class of the given name.
DynaBean
newInstance()
Instantiate and return a new DynaBean instance, associated with this DynaClass.

Field Details

lowerCase

protected boolean lowerCase
Flag defining whether column names should be lower cased when converted to property names.

properties

protected DynaProperty[] properties
The set of dynamic properties that are part of this DynaClass.

propertiesMap

protected Map propertiesMap
The set of dynamic properties that are part of this DynaClass, keyed by the property name. Individual descriptor instances will be the same instances as those in the properties list.

Method Details

createDynaProperty

protected DynaProperty createDynaProperty(ResultSetMetaData metadata,
                                          int i)
            throws SQLException
Factory method to create a new DynaProperty for the given index into the result set metadata.
Parameters:
metadata - is the result set metadata
i - is the column index in the metadata
Returns:
the newly created DynaProperty instance

getDynaProperties

public DynaProperty[] getDynaProperties()
Return an array of ProperyDescriptors for the properties currently defined in this DynaClass. If no properties are defined, a zero-length array will be returned.
Specified by:
getDynaProperties in interface DynaClass

getDynaProperty

public DynaProperty getDynaProperty(String name)
Return a property descriptor for the specified property, if it exists; otherwise, return null.
Specified by:
getDynaProperty in interface DynaClass
Parameters:
name - Name of the dynamic property for which a descriptor is requested

getName

public String getName()
Return the name of this DynaClass (analogous to the getName() method of java.lang.ClassDynaClass implementation class to support different dynamic classes, with different sets of properties.
Specified by:
getName in interface DynaClass

introspect

protected void introspect(ResultSet resultSet)
            throws SQLException
Introspect the metadata associated with our result set, and populate the properties and propertiesMap instance variables.
Parameters:
resultSet - The resultSet whose metadata is to be introspected

loadClass

protected Class loadClass(String className)
            throws SQLException
Loads and returns the Class of the given name. By default, a load from the thread context class loader is attempted. If there is no such class loader, the class loader used to load this class will be utilized.

newInstance

public DynaBean newInstance()
            throws IllegalAccessException,
                   InstantiationException
Instantiate and return a new DynaBean instance, associated with this DynaClass. NOTE - This operation is not supported, and throws an exception.
Specified by:
newInstance in interface DynaClass
