Class ResultSetDynaClass

java.lang.Object

org.apache.commons.beanutils.ResultSetDynaClass

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, DynaClass

public class ResultSetDynaClass
extends Object
implements DynaClass

Implementation of DynaClass for DynaBeans that wrap the java.sql.Row objects of a java.sql.ResultSet. The normal usage pattern is something like:

   ResultSet rs = ...;
   ResultSetDynaClass rsdc = new ResultSetDynaClass(rs);
   Iterator rows = rsdc.iterator();
   while (rows.hasNext())  {
     DynaBean row = (DynaBean) rows.next();
     ... process this row ...
   }
   rs.close();
 

Each column in the result set will be represented as a DynaBean property of the corresponding name (optionally forced to lower case for portability).

WARNING - Any DynaBean instance returned by this class, or from the Iterator returned by the iterator() method, is directly linked to the row that the underlying result set is currently positioned at. This has the following implications:

• Once you retrieve a different DynaBean instance, you should no longer use any previous instance.
• Changing the position of the underlying result set will change the data that the DynaBean references.
• Once the underlying result set is closed, the DynaBean instance may no longer be used.

Any database data that you wish to utilize outside the context of the current row of an open result set must be copied. For example, you could use the following code to create standalone copies of the information in a result set:

   ArrayList results = new ArrayList(); // To hold copied list
   ResultSetDynaClass rsdc = ...;
   DynaProperty[] properties = rsdc.getDynaProperties();
   BasicDynaClass bdc =
     new BasicDynaClass("foo", BasicDynaBean.class,
                        rsdc.getDynaProperties());
   Iterator rows = rsdc.iterator();
   while (rows.hasNext()) {
     DynaBean oldRow = (DynaBean) rows.next();
     DynaBean newRow = bdc.newInstance();
     PropertyUtils.copyProperties(newRow, oldRow);
     results.add(newRow);
   }

Field Detail

resultSet

protected ResultSet resultSet

The ResultSet we are wrapping.

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

Constructor Detail

ResultSetDynaClass

public ResultSetDynaClass(ResultSet resultSet)
                   throws SQLException

Construct a new ResultSetDynaClass for the specified ResultSet. The property names corresponding to column names in the result set will be lower cased.

Parameters:

resultSet - The result set to be wrapped

Throws:

NullPointerException - if resultSet is null

SQLException - if the metadata for this result set cannot be introspected

ResultSetDynaClass

public ResultSetDynaClass(ResultSet resultSet,
                          boolean lowerCase)
                   throws SQLException

Construct a new ResultSetDynaClass for the specified ResultSet. The property names corresponding to the column names in the result set will be lower cased or not, depending on the specified lowerCase value.

WARNING - If you specify false for lowerCase, the returned property names will exactly match the column names returned by your JDBC driver. Because different drivers might return column names in different cases, the property names seen by your application will vary depending on which JDBC driver you are using.

Parameters:

resultSet - The result set to be wrapped

lowerCase - Should property names be lower cased?

Throws:

NullPointerException - if resultSet is null

SQLException - if the metadata for this result set cannot be introspected

ResultSetDynaClass

public ResultSetDynaClass(ResultSet resultSet,
                          boolean lowerCase,
                          boolean useColumnLabel)
                   throws SQLException

Construct a new ResultSetDynaClass for the specified ResultSet. The property names corresponding to the column names in the result set will be lower cased or not, depending on the specified lowerCase value.

WARNING - If you specify false for lowerCase, the returned property names will exactly match the column names returned by your JDBC driver. Because different drivers might return column names in different cases, the property names seen by your application will vary depending on which JDBC driver you are using.

Parameters:

resultSet - The result set to be wrapped

lowerCase - Should property names be lower cased?

useColumnLabel - true if the column label should be used, otherwise false

Throws:

NullPointerException - if resultSet is null

SQLException - if the metadata for this result set cannot be introspected

Since:

1.8.3

Method Detail

iterator

public Iterator<DynaBean> iterator()

Return an Iterator of DynaBean instances for each row of the wrapped ResultSet, in "forward" order. Unless the underlying result set supports scrolling, this method should be called only once.

An Iterator of DynaBean instances

getObjectFromResultSet

public Object getObjectFromResultSet(String name)
                              throws SQLException

SQLException - if an error occurs

Since:

1.8.0

loadClass

protected Class<?> loadClass(String className)
                      throws SQLException
