Class SerialStruct

java.lang.Object
javax.sql.rowset.serial.SerialStruct
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Cloneable, Struct

public class SerialStruct
extends Object
implements Struct, Serializable, Cloneable
A serialized mapping in the Java programming language of an SQL structured type. Each attribute that is not already serialized is mapped to a serialized form, and if an attribute is itself a structured type, each of its attributes that is not already serialized is mapped to a serialized form.

In addition, the structured type is custom mapped to a class in the Java programming language if there is such a mapping, as are its attributes, if appropriate.

The SerialStruct class provides a constructor for creating an instance from a Struct object, a method for retrieving the SQL type name of the SQL structured type in the database, and methods for retrieving its attribute values.

Thread safety

A SerialStruct is not safe for use by multiple concurrent threads. If a SerialStruct is to be used by more than one thread then access to the SerialStruct should be controlled by appropriate synchronization.

    • SerialStruct

      public SerialStruct​(Struct in, Map<String,​Class<?>> map) throws SerialException
      Constructs a SerialStruct object from the given Struct object, using the given java.util.Map object for custom mapping the SQL structured type or any of its attributes that are SQL structured types.
      Parameters:
      in - an instance of Struct
      map - a java.util.Map object in which each entry consists of 1) a String object giving the fully qualified name of a UDT and 2) the Class object for the SQLData implementation that defines how the UDT is to be mapped
      Throws:
      SerialException - if an error occurs

    • SerialStruct

      public SerialStruct​(SQLData in, Map<String,​Class<?>> map) throws SerialException
      Constructs a SerialStruct object from the given SQLData object, using the given type map to custom map it to a class in the Java programming language. The type map gives the SQL type and the class to which it is mapped. The SQLData object defines the class to which the SQL type will be mapped.
      Parameters:
      in - an instance of the SQLData class that defines the mapping of the SQL structured type to one or more objects in the Java programming language
      map - a java.util.Map object in which each entry consists of 1) a String object giving the fully qualified name of a UDT and 2) the Class object for the SQLData implementation that defines how the UDT is to be mapped
      Throws:
      SerialException - if an error occurs
  • Method Details

    • getSQLTypeName

      public String getSQLTypeName() throws SerialException
      Retrieves the SQL type name for this SerialStruct object. This is the name used in the SQL definition of the structured type
      Specified by:
      getSQLTypeName in interface Struct
      Returns:
      a String object representing the SQL type name for the SQL structured type that this SerialStruct object represents
      Throws:
      SerialException - if an error occurs
    • getAttributes

      public Object[] getAttributes() throws SerialException
      Retrieves an array of Object values containing the attributes of the SQL structured type that this SerialStruct object represents.
      Specified by:
      getAttributes in interface Struct
      Returns:
      an array of Object values, with each element being an attribute of the SQL structured type that this SerialStruct object represents
      Throws:
      SerialException - if an error occurs
    • getAttributes

      public Object[] getAttributes​(Map<String,​Class<?>> map) throws SerialException
      Retrieves the attributes for the SQL structured type that this SerialStruct represents as an array of Object values, using the given type map for custom mapping if appropriate.
      Specified by:
      getAttributes in interface Struct
      Parameters:
      map - a java.util.Map object in which each entry consists of 1) a String object giving the fully qualified name of a UDT and 2) the Class object for the SQLData implementation that defines how the UDT is to be mapped
      Returns:
      an array of Object values, with each element being an attribute of the SQL structured type that this SerialStruct object represents
      Throws:
      SerialException - if an error occurs
    • equals

      public boolean equals​(Object obj)
      Compares this SerialStruct to the specified object. The result is true if and only if the argument is not null and is a SerialStruct object whose attributes are identical to this object's attributes
      Overrides:
      equals in class Object
      Parameters:
      obj - The object to compare this SerialStruct against
      Returns:
      true if the given object represents a SerialStruct equivalent to this SerialStruct, false otherwise

      Object.hashCode(), HashMap
    • hashCode

      public int hashCode()
      Returns a hash code for this SerialStruct. The hash code for a SerialStruct object is computed using the hash codes of the attributes of the SerialStruct object and its SQLTypeName
      Overrides:
      hashCode in class Object
      Returns:
      a hash code value for this object.
      See Also:
      Object.equals(java.lang.Object), System.identityHashCode(java.lang.Object)
    • clone

      public Object clone()
      Returns a clone of this SerialStruct. The copy will contain a reference to a clone of the underlying attribs array, not a reference to the original underlying attribs array of this SerialStruct object.
      Overrides:
      clone in class Object
      Returns:
      a clone of this SerialStruct
