/**
 * An abstract class providing a <code>RowSet</code> object with its basic functionality. 
 * The basic functions include having properties and sending event notifications,
 * which all JavaBeans<sup><font size=-2>TM</font></sup> components must implement.
 * <P>
 * <h3>1.0 Overview</h3>
 * The <code>BaseRowSet</code> class provides the core functionality 
 * for all <code>RowSet</code> implementations,
 * and all standard implementations <b>may</b> use this class in combination with 
 * one or more <code>RowSet</code> interfaces in order to provide a standard
 * vendor-specific implementation.  To clarify, all implementations must implement
 * at least one of the <code>RowSet</code> interfaces (<code>JdbcRowSet</code>,
 * <code>CachedRowSet</code>, <code>JoinRowSet</code>, <code>FilteredRowSet</code>,
 * or <code>WebRowSet</code>). This means that any implementation that extends
 * the <code>BaseRowSet</code> class must also implement one of the <code>RowSet</code>
 * interfaces.
 * <p>
 * The <code>BaseRowSet</code> class provides the following:
 * <p>
 * <UL>
 * <LI><b>Properties</b>
 *     <ul>
 *     <li>Fields for storing current properties
 *     <li>Methods for getting and setting properties
 *     </ul>
 *  <p>
 * <LI><b>Event notification</b>
 * <P>
 * <LI><b>A complete set of setter methods</b> for setting the parameters in a
 *      <code>RowSet</code> object's command
 *  <p>
 * <LI> <b>Streams</b>
 *  <ul>
 *  <li>Fields for storing stream instances
 *  <li>Constants for indicating the type of a stream
 *  </ul>
 *  <p>
 * </UL>
 * 
 * <h3>2.0 Setting Properties</h3>
 * All rowsets maintain a set of properties, which will usually be set using
 * a tool.  The number and kinds of properties a rowset has will vary,
 * depending on what the <code>RowSet</code> implementation does and how it gets 
 * its data.  For example,
 * rowsets that get their data from a <code>ResultSet</code> object need to
 * set the properties that are required for making a database connection.
 * If a <code>RowSet</code> object uses the <code>DriverManager</code> facility to make a 
 * connection, it needs to set a property for the JDBC URL that identifies the
 * appropriate driver, and it needs to set the properties that give the 
 * user name and password.
 * If, on the other hand, the rowset uses a <code>DataSource</code> object
 * to make the connection, which is the preferred method, it does not need to
 * set the property for the JDBC URL.  Instead, it needs to set the property
 * for the logical name of the data source along with the properties for 
 * the user name and password.
 * <P>
 * NOTE:  In order to use a <code>DataSource</code> object for making a
 * connection, the <code>DataSource</code> object must have been registered
 * with a naming service that uses the Java Naming and Directory
 * Interface<sup><font size=-2>TM</font></sup> (JNDI) API.  This registration
 * is usually done by a person acting in the capacity of a system administrator.
 * <P>
 * <h3>3.0 Setting the Command and Its Parameters</h3>
 * When a rowset gets its data from a relational database, it executes a command (a query)
 * that produces a <code>ResultSet</code> object.  This query is the command that is set
 * for the <code>RowSet</code> object's command property.  The rowset populates itself with data by reading the 
 * data from the <code>ResultSet</code> object into itself. If the query
 * contains placeholders for values to be set, the <code>BaseRowSet</code> setter methods
 * are used to set these values. All setter methods allow these values to be set
 * to <code>null</code> if required.
 * <P>
 * The following code fragment illustrates how the 
 * <code>CachedRowSet</code><sup><font size=-2>TM</font></sup>
 * object <code>crs</code> might have its command property set.  Note that if a
 * tool is used to set properties, this is the code that the tool would use.
 * <PRE>
 *    crs.setCommand("SELECT FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME, ADDRESS FROM CUSTOMERS" +
 *                   "WHERE CREDIT_LIMIT > ? AND REGION = ?");
 * </PRE>
 * <P>
 * In this example, the values for <code>CREDIT_LIMIT</code> and
 * <code>REGION</code> are placeholder parameters, which are indicated with a
 * question mark (?).  The first question mark is placeholder parameter number
 * <code>1</code>, the second question mark is placeholder parameter number
 * <code>2</code>, and so on.  Any placeholder parameters must be set with
 * values before the query can be executed. To set these
 * placeholder parameters, the <code>BaseRowSet</code> class provides a set of setter
 * methods, similar to those provided by the <code>PreparedStatement</code>
 * interface, for setting values of each data type.  A <code>RowSet</code> object stores the
 * parameter values internally, and its <code>execute</code> method uses them internally
 * to set values for the placeholder parameters 
 * before it sends the command to the DBMS to be executed.
 * <P>
 * The following code fragment demonstrates 
 * setting the two parameters in the query from the previous example.
 * <PRE>
 *    crs.setInt(1, 5000);
 *    crs.setString(2, "West");
 * </PRE>
 * If the <code>execute</code> method is called at this point, the query
 * sent to the DBMS will be:
 * <PRE>
 *    "SELECT FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME, ADDRESS FROM CUSTOMERS" +
 *                   "WHERE CREDIT_LIMIT > 5000 AND REGION = 'West'"
 * </PRE>
 * NOTE: Setting <code>Array</code>, <code>Clob</code>, <code>Blob</code> and 
 * <code>Ref</code> objects as a command parameter, stores these values as
 * <code>SerialArray</code>, <code>SerialClob</code>, <code>SerialBlob</code>
 * and <code>SerialRef</code> objects respectively.
 *     
 * <h3>4.0 Handling of Parameters Behind the Scenes</h3>
 *
 * NOTE: The <code>BaseRowSet</code> class provides two kinds of setter methods,
 * those that set properties and those that set placeholder parameters. The setter
 * methods discussed in this section are those that set placeholder parameters.
 * <P>
 * The placeholder parameters set with the <code>BaseRowSet</code> setter methods
 * are stored as objects in an internal <code>Hashtable</code> object. 
 * Primitives are stored as their <code>Object</code> type. For example, <code>byte</code>
 * is stored as <code>Byte</code> object, and <code>int</code> is stored as 
 * an <code>Integer</code> object.
 * When the method <code>execute</code> is called, the values in the 
 * <code>Hashtable</code> object are substituted for the appropriate placeholder 
 * parameters in the command.
 * <P)>
 * A call to the method <code>getParams</code> returns the values stored in the
 * <code>Hashtable</code> object as an array of <code>Object</code> instances.
 * An element in this array may be a simple <code>Object</code> instance or an 
 * array (which is a type of <code>Object</code>). The particular setter method used
 * determines whether an element in this array is an <code>Object</code> or an array.
 * <P>
 * The majority of methods for setting placeholder parameters take two parameters,
 *  with the first parameter 
 * indicating which placeholder parameter is to be set, and the second parameter
 * giving the value to be set.  Methods such as <code>getInt</code>, 
 * <code>getString</code>, <code>getBoolean</code>, and <code>getLong</code> fall into 
 * this category.  After these methods have been called, a call to the method
 * <code>getParams</code> will return an array with the values that have been set. Each
 * element in the array is an <code>Object</code> instance representing the 
 * values that have been set. The order of these values in the array is determined by the
 * <code>int</code> (the first parameter) passed to the setter method. The values in the
 * array are the values (the second parameter) passed to the setter method.
 * In other words, the first element in the array is the value
 * to be set for the first placeholder parameter in the <code>RowSet</code> object's
 * command. The second element is the value to
 * be set for the second placeholder parameter, and so on. 
 * <P>
 * Several setter methods send the driver and DBMS information beyond the value to be set.
 * When the method <code>getParams</code> is called after one of these setter methods has
 * been used, the elements in the array will themselves be arrays to accommodate the 
 * additional information. In this category, the method <code>setNull</code> is a special case
 * because one version takes only
 * two parameters (<code>setNull(int parameterIndex, int SqlType)</code>). Nevertheless,
 * it requires
 * an array to contain the information that will be passed to the driver and DBMS.  The first
 * element in this array is the value to be set, which is <code>null</code>, and the
 * second element is the <code>int</code> supplied for <i>sqlType</i>, which 
 * indicates the type of SQL value that is being set to <code>null</code>. This information
 * is needed by some DBMSs and is therefore required in order to ensure that applications
 * are portable.
 * The other version is intended to be used when the value to be set to <code>null</code>
 * is a user-defined type. It takes three parameters 
 * (<code>setNull(int parameterIndex, int sqlType, String typeName)</code>) and also
 * requires an array to contain the information to be passed to the driver and DBMS.
 * The first two elements in this array are the same as for the first version of
 * <code>setNull</code>.  The third element, <i>typeName</i>, gives the SQL name of
 * the user-defined type. As is true with the other setter methods, the number of the
 * placeholder parameter to be set is indicated by an element's position in the array
 * returned by <code>getParams</code>.  So, for example, if the parameter
 * supplied to <code>setNull</code> is <code>2</code>, the second element in the array 
 * returned by <code>getParams</code> will be an array of two or three elements.
 * <P>
 * Some methods, such as <code>setObject</code> and <code>setDate</code> have versions
 * that take more than two parameters, with the extra parameters giving information 
 * to the driver or the DBMS. For example, the methods <code>setDate</code>,
 * <code>setTime</code>, and <code>setTimestamp</code> can take a <code>Calendar</code>
 * object as their third parameter.  If the DBMS does not store time zone information,
 * the drivern uses the <code>Calendar</code> object to construct the <code>Date</code>,
 * <code>Time</code>, or <code>Timestamp</code> object being set. As is true with other
 * methods that provide additional information, the element in the array returned 
 * by <code>getParams</code> is an array instead of a simple <code>Object</code> instance.
 * <P>
 * The methods <code>setAsciiStream</code>, <code>setBinaryStream</code>,
 * <code>setCharacterStream</code>, and <code>setUnicodeStream</code> (which is 
 * deprecated, so applications should use <code>getCharacterStream</code> instead)
 * take three parameters, so for them, the element in the array returned by
 * <code>getParams</code> is also an array.  What is different about these setter
 * methods is that in addition to the information provided by parameters, the array contains
 * one of the <code>BaseRowSet</code> constants indicating the type of stream being set. 
* <p>
* NOTE: The method <code>getParams</code> is called internally by 
* <code>RowSet</code> implementations extending this class; it is not normally called by an 
* application programmer directly.
* 
* <h3>5.0 Event Notification</h3>
* The <code>BaseRowSet</code> class provides the event notification
* mechanism for rowsets.  It contains the field 
* <code>listeners</code>, methods for adding and removing listeners, and 
* methods for notifying listeners of changes.
* <P>
* A listener is an object that has implemented the <code>RowSetListener</code> interface.
* If it has been added to a <code>RowSet</code> object's list of listeners, it will be notified
*  when an event occurs on that <code>RowSet</code> object.  Each listener's 
* implementation of the <code>RowSetListener</code> methods defines what that object
* will do when it is notified that an event has occurred. 
* <P>
* There are three possible events for a <code>RowSet</code> object:
* <OL>
* <LI>the cursor moves
* <LI>an individual row is changed (updated, deleted, or inserted)
* <LI>the contents of the entire <code>RowSet</code> object  are changed
* </OL>
* <P>
* The <code>BaseRowSet</code> method used for the notification indicates the
* type of event that has occurred.  For example, the method 
* <code>notifyRowChanged</code> indicates that a row has been updated, 
* deleted, or inserted.  Each of the notification methods creates a 
* <code>RowSetEvent</code> object, which is supplied to the listener in order to 
* identify the <code>RowSet</code> object on which the event occurred. 
* What the listener does with this information, which may be nothing, depends on how it was 
* implemented.  
* <p>
* <h3>6.0 Default Behavior</h3>
* A default <code>BaseRowSet</code> object is initialized with many starting values.
* 
* The following is true of a default <code>RowSet</code> instance that extends
* the <code>BaseRowSet</code> class:
* <UL>
*   <LI>Has a scrollable cursor and does not show changes
*       made by others.
*   <LI>Is updatable.
*   <LI>Does not show rows that have been deleted.
*   <LI>Has no time limit for how long a driver may take to
*       execute the <code>RowSet</code> object's command.
*   <LI>Has no limit for the number of rows it may contain.
*   <LI>Has no limit for the number of bytes a column may contain. NOTE: This 
*   limit applies only to columns that hold values of the
*   following types:  <code>BINARY</code>, <code>VARBINARY</code>,
*   <code>LONGVARBINARY</code>, <code>CHAR</code>, <code>VARCHAR</code>, 
*   and <code>LONGVARCHAR</code>.
*   <LI>Will not see uncommitted data (make "dirty" reads).
*   <LI>Has escape processing turned on.
*   <LI>Has its connection's type map set to <code>null</code>.
*   <LI>Has an empty <code>Vector</code> object for storing the values set
*       for the placeholder parameters in the <code>RowSet</code> object's command.
* </UL>
* <p>
* If other values are desired, an application must set the property values
* explicitly. For example, the following line of code sets the maximum number 
* of rows for the <code>CachedRowSet</code> object <i>crs</i> to 500.
* <PRE>
*    crs.setMaxRows(500);
* </PRE>
* Methods implemented in extensions of this <code>BaseRowSet</code> class <b>must</b> throw an 
* <code>SQLException</code> object for any violation of the defined assertions.  Also, if the 
* extending class overrides and reimplements any <code>BaseRowSet</code> method and encounters 
* connectivity or underlying data source issues, that method <b>may</b> in addition throw an 
* <code>SQLException</code> object for that reason.

     * will be supplied as the appropriate parameter in this <code>RowSet</code>
     * object's command when the method <code>execute</code> is called.      
     * Methods such as <code>execute</code> and <code>populate</code> must be 
     * provided in any class that extends this class and implements one or 
     * more of the standard JSR-114 <code>RowSet</code> interfaces.
     * <P>
     * NOTE: <code>JdbcRowSet</code> does not require the <code>populate</code> method
     * as it is undefined in this class.
     * <P>
     * Calls made to the method <code>getParams</code> after this version of
     * <code>setTimestamp</code>
     * has been called will return an array containing the parameter values that
     * have been set.  In that array, the element that represents the values
     * set with this method will itself be an array. The first element of that array 
     * is the given <code>java.sql.Timestamp</code> object.
     * The second element is the value set for <i>cal</i>.
     * The parameter number is indicated by an element's position in the array 
     * returned by the method <code>getParams</code>,
     * with the first element being the value for the first placeholder parameter, the
     * second element being the value for the second placeholder parameter, and so on.
     * In other words, if the timestamp being set is the value for the second
     * placeholder parameter, the array containing it will be the second element in 
     * the array returned by <code>getParams</code>.
     * <P>
     * Note that because the numbering of elements in an array starts at zero,
     * the array element that corresponds to placeholder parameter number
     * <i>parameterIndex</i> is <i>parameterIndex</i> -1.
     *   
     * @param parameterIndex the ordinal number of the placeholder parameter 
     *        in this <code>RowSet</code> object's command that is to be set. 
     *        The first parameter is 1, the second is 2, and so on; must be
     *        <code>1</code> or greater
     * @param x a <code>java.sql.Timestamp</code> object
