<h3><a name="pkgspec">1.0 Package Specification</a></h3> |
|
52 |
This package specifies five standard JDBC <code>RowSet</code> interfaces. |
|
53 |
All five extend the |
|
54 |
<a href="../RowSet.html">RowSet</a> interface described in the JDBC 3.0 |
|
55 |
specification. It is anticipated that additional definitions |
|
56 |
of more specialized JDBC <code>RowSet</code> types will emerge as this technology |
|
57 |
matures. Future definitions <i>should</i> be specified as subinterfaces using |
|
58 |
inheritance similar to the way it is used in this specification. |
|
59 |
<p> |
|
60 |
<i>Note:</i> The interface definitions provided in this package form the basis for |
|
61 |
all compliant JDBC <code>RowSet</code> implementations. Vendors and more advanced |
|
62 |
developers who intend to provide their own compliant <code>RowSet</code> implementations |
|
63 |
should pay particular attention to the assertions detailed in specification |
|
64 |
interfaces. |

<ul> |
|
68 |
<li><a href="JdbcRowSet.html"><b><code>JdbcRowSet</code></b></a> - A wrapper around |
|
69 |
a <tt>ResultSet</tt> object that makes it possible to use the result set as a |
|
| 18564 | 70 |
JavaBeans™ component. Thus, |
| 2 | 71 |
a <tt>JdbcRowSet</tt> object can be a Bean that any tool |
72 |
makes available for assembling an application as part of a component based |
|
73 |
architecture . A <tt>JdbcRowSet</tt> object is a connected <code>RowSet</code> |
|
74 |
object, that is, it |
|
75 |
<b>must</b> continually maintain its connection to its data source using a JDBC |
|
76 |
technology-enabled driver ("JDBC driver"). In addition, a <code>JdbcRowSet</code>
|
|
77 |
object provides a fully updatable and scrollable tabular |
|
78 |
data structure as defined in the JDBC 3.0 specification. |
|
79 |
<p> |
|
80 |
<li><a href="CachedRowSet.html"> |
|
| 6529 | 81 |
<b><code>CachedRowSet</code>™</b></a> |
| 18564 | 82 |
- A <tt>CachedRowSet</tt> object is a JavaBeans™ |
| 2 | 83 |
component that is scrollable, updatable, serializable, and generally disconnected from |
84 |
the source of its data. A <tt>CachedRowSet</tt> object |
|
85 |
typically contains rows from a result set, but it can also contain rows from any |
|
86 |
file with a tabular format, such as a spreadsheet. <tt>CachedRowSet</tt> implementations |
|
87 |
<b>must</b> use the <tt>SyncFactory</tt> to manage and obtain pluggable |
|
88 |
<code>SyncProvider</code> objects to provide synchronization between the |
|
89 |
disconnected <code>RowSet</code> object and the originating data source. |
|
90 |
Typically a <code>SyncProvider</code> implementation relies upon a JDBC |
|
91 |
driver to obtain connectivity to a particular data source. |
|
92 |
Further details on this mechanism are discussed in the <a |
|
93 |
href="spi/package-summary.html"><code>javax.sql.rowset.spi</code></a> package |
|
94 |
specification. |
|
95 |
<p> |
|
96 |
<li><a href="WebRowSet.html"><b><code>WebRowSet</code></b></a> - A |
|
97 |
<code>WebRowSet</code> object is an extension of <tt>CachedRowSet</tt> |
|
98 |
that can read and write a <code>RowSet</code> object in a well formed XML format. |
|
99 |
This class calls an <a href="spi/XmlReader.html"><code>XmlReader</code></a> object |
|
100 |
(an extension of the <a href="../RowSetReader.html"><code>RowSetReader</code></a> |
|
101 |
interface) to read a rowset in XML format. It calls an |
|
102 |
<a href="spi/XmlWriter.html"><code>XmlWriter</code></a> object (an extension of the |
|
103 |
<a href="../RowSetWriter.html"><code>RowSetWriter</code></a> interface) |
|
104 |
to write a rowset in XML format. The reader and writer required by |
|
105 |
<code>WebRowSet</code> objects are provided by the |
|
106 |
<code>SyncFactory</code> in the form of <code>SyncProvider</code> |
|
107 |
implementations. In order to ensure well formed XML usage, a standard generic XML |
|
108 |
Schema is defined and published at |
|
109 |
<a href="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jdbc/webrowset.xsd"> |
|
110 |
<code>http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jdbc/webrowset.xsd</code></a>. |
|
111 |
<p> |
|
112 |
<li><a href="FilteredRowSet.html"><b><code>FilteredRowSet</code></b></a> - A |
|
113 |
<tt>FilteredRowSet</tt> object provides filtering functionality in a programmatic |
|
114 |
and extensible way. There are many instances when a <tt>RowSet</tt> <code>object</code> |
|
115 |
has a need to provide filtering in its contents without sacrificing the disconnected |
|
116 |
environment, thus saving the expense of having to create a connection to the data source. |
|
117 |
Solutions to this need vary from providing heavyweight full scale |
|
118 |
SQL query abilities, to portable components, to more lightweight |
|
119 |
approaches. A <code>FilteredRowSet</code> object consumes |
|
120 |
an implementation of the <a href="Predicate.html"><code>Predicate</code></a> |
|
121 |
interface, which <b>may</b> define a filter at run time. In turn, a |
|
122 |
<code>FilteredRowSet</code> object is tasked with enforcing the set filter for both |
|
123 |
inbound and outbound read and write operations. That is, all filters can be |
|
124 |
considered as bi-directional. No standard filters are defined; |
|
125 |
however, sufficient mechanics are specified to permit any required filter to be |
|
126 |
implemented. |
|
127 |
<p> |
|
128 |
<li><a href="JoinRowSet.html"><b><code>JoinRowSet</code></b></a> - The <tt>JoinRowSet</tt> |
|
129 |
interface describes a mechanism by which relationships can be established between |
|
130 |
two or more standard <code>RowSet</code> implementations. Any number of <tt>RowSet</tt> |
|
131 |
objects can be added to a <tt>JoinRowSet</tt> object provided the <tt>RowSet</tt>objects |
|
132 |
can be related in a SQL <tt>JOIN</tt> like fashion. By definition, the SQL <tt>JOIN</tt> |
|
133 |
statement is used to combine the data contained in two (<i>or more</i>) relational |
|
134 |
database tables based upon a common attribute. By establishing and then enforcing |
|
135 |
column matches, a <tt>JoinRowSet</tt> object establishes relationships between |
|
136 |
<tt>RowSet</tt> instances without the need to touch the originating data source. |

140 |
Compliant implementations of JDBC <code>RowSet</code> Implementations |
|
141 |
<b>must</b> follow the assertions described in this specification. In accordance |
|
142 |
with the terms of the <a href="http://www.jcp.org">Java Community Process</a>, a |
|
143 |
Test Compatibility Kit (TCK) can be licensed to ensure compatibility with the |
|
144 |
specification. The following paragraphs outline a number of starting points for |
|
145 |
implementers of the standard JDBC <code>RowSet</code> definitions. Implementers |
|
146 |
should also consult the <i>Implementer's Guide</i> in the <a |
|
147 |
href="spi/package-summary.html">javax.sql.rowset.spi</a> package for guidelines |

<li><b>3.1 Constructor</b> |
152 |

<li><b>3.2 Role of the <code>BaseRowSet</code> Class</b> |
|
| 2 | 157 |
<p> |
158 |
A compliant JDBC <code>RowSet</code> implementation <b>must</b> implement one or more |
|
159 |
standard interfaces specified in this package and and <b>may</b> extend the |
|
160 |
<a href="BaseRowSet.html"><code>BaseRowSet</code></a> abstract class. For example, a |
|
161 |
<code>CachedRowSet</code> implementation must implement the <code>CachedRowSet</code> |
|
162 |
interface and extend the <code>BaseRowSet</code> abstract class. The |
|
163 |
<code>BaseRowSet</code> class provides the standard architecture on which all |
|
164 |
<code>RowSet</code> implementations should be built, regardless of whether the |
|
165 |
<code>RowSet</code> objects exist in a connected or disconnected environment. |
|
166 |
The <tt>BaseRowSet</tt> abstract class provides any <tt>RowSet</tt> implementation |
|
167 |
with its base functionality, including property manipulation and event notification |
|
168 |
that is fully compliant with <a href="http://java.sun.com/products/javabeans">JavaBeans</a> |
|
169 |
component requirements. As an example, all implementations provided in the |

170 |
reference implementations (contained in the <tt>com.sun.rowset</tt> package) use |

171 |
the <tt>BaseRowSet</tt> class as a basis for their implementations. |

<li><b>3.3 Connected RowSet Requirements</b> |
| 2 | 224 |
<p> |
225 |
The <code>JdbcRowSet</code> describes a <code>RowSet</code> object that <b>must</b> always |
|
226 |
be connected to the originating data source. Implementations of the <code>JdbcRowSet</code> |
|
227 |
should ensure that this connection is provided solely by a JDBC driver. |
|
228 |
Furthermore, <code>RowSet</code> objects that are implementations of the |
|
229 |
<code>JdbcRowSet</code> interface and are therefore operating in a connected environment |
|
230 |
do not use the <code>SyncFactory</code> to obtain a <code>RowSetReader</code> object |
|
231 |
or a <code>RowSetWriter</code> object. They can safely rely on the JDBC driver to |
|
232 |
supply their needs by virtue of the presence of an underlying updatable and scrollable |
|
233 |
<code>ResultSet</code> implementation. |
|
234 |
<p> |
|
235 |
||
236 |
<li> |
|
| 6529 | 237 |
<b>3.4 Disconnected RowSet Requirements</b> |
| 2 | 238 |
<p> |
239 |
A disconnected <code>RowSet</code> object, such as a <code>CachedRowSet</code> object, |
|
240 |
<b>should</b> delegate |
|
241 |
connection management to a <code>SyncProvider</code> object provided by the |
|
242 |
<code>SyncFactory</code>. To ensure fully disconnected semantics, all |
|
243 |
disconnected <code>RowSet</code> objects <b>must</b> ensure |
|
244 |
that the original connection made to the data source to populate the <code>RowSet</code> |
|
245 |
object is closed to permit the garbage collector to recover and release resources. The |
|
246 |
<code>SyncProvider</code> object ensures that the critical JDBC properties are |
|
247 |
maintained in order to re-establish a connection to the data source when a |
|
248 |
synchronization is required. A disconnected <code>RowSet</code> object should |
|
249 |
therefore ensure that no |
|
250 |
extraneous references remain on the <code>Connection</code> object. |
|
251 |
<p> |
|
| 6529 | 252 |
<li><b>3.5 Role of RowSetMetaDataImpl</b> |
| 2 | 253 |
<p> |
254 |
The <code>RowsetMetaDataImpl</code> class is a utility class that provides an implementation of the |
|
255 |
<a href="../RowSetMetaData.html">RowSetMetaData</a> interface, supplying standard setter |
|
256 |
method implementations for metadata for both connected and disconnected |
|
257 |
<code>RowSet</code> objects. All implementations are free to use this standard |
|
258 |
implementation but are not required to do so. |
|
259 |
<p> |
|
| 6529 | 260 |
<li><b>3.6 RowSetWarning Class</b> |
| 2 | 261 |
<p> |
262 |
The <code>RowSetWarning</code> class provides warnings that can be set |
|
263 |
on <code>RowSet</code> implementations. |
|
264 |
Similar to <a href="../../../java/sql/SQLWarning.html">SQLWarning</a> objects, |
|
265 |
<code>RowSetWarning</code> objects are silently chained to the object whose method |
|
266 |
caused the warning to be thrown. All <code>RowSet</code> implementations <b>should</b> |
|
267 |
ensure that this chaining occurs if a warning is generated and also ensure that the |
|
268 |
warnings are available via the <code>getRowSetWarnings</code> method defined in either |
|
269 |
the <code>JdbcRowSet</code> interface or the <code>CachedRowSet</code> interface. |
|
270 |
After a warning has been retrieved with one of the |
|
271 |
<code>getRowSetWarnings</code> methods, the <code>RowSetWarning</code> method |
|
272 |
<code>getNextWarning</code> can be called on it to retrieve any warnings that might |
|
273 |
be chained on it. If a warning is returned, <code>getNextWarning</code> can be called |
|
274 |
on it, and so on until there are no more warnings. |
|
275 |

276 |
||
277 |
<P> |
|
| 6529 | 278 |
<li><b>3.7 The Joinable Interface</b> |
| 2 | 279 |
<P> |
280 |
The <code>Joinable</code> interface provides both connected and disconnected |
|
281 |
<code>RowSet</code> objects with the capability to be added to a |
|
282 |
<code>JoinRowSet</code> object in an SQL <code>JOIN</code> operation. |
|
283 |
A <code>RowSet</code> object that has implemented the <code>Joinable</code> |
|
284 |
interface can set a match column, retrieve a match column, or unset a match column. |
|
285 |
A <code>JoinRowSet</code> object can then use the <code>RowSet</code> object's |
|
| 6529 | 286 |
match column as a basis for adding the <code>RowSet</code> object. |
287 |
</li> |
|
288 |

289 |
<li><b>3.8 The RowSetFactory Interface</b> |
|
290 |
