Record

public interface Record implements Cloneable, Serializable

The javax.resource.cci.Record interface is the base interface for the representation of an input or output to the execute methods defined on an Interaction.

The Record interface can be extended to form a one of the following representations:

MappedRecord: A key-value pair based collection represents a record. This interface is based on the java.util.Map
IndexedRecord:An ordered and indexed collection represents a record. This interface is based on the java.util.List.
JavaBean based representation of an EIS abstraction: An example is a custom record generated to represent a purchase order in an ERP system.
javax.resource.cci.ResultSet: This interface extends both java.sql.ResultSet and javax.resource.cci.Record. A ResultSet represents tabular data.

A MappedRecord or IndexedRecord can contain another Record. This means that MappedRecord and IndexedRecord can be used to create a hierarchical structure of any arbitrary depth. A basic Java type is used as the leaf element of a hierarchical structure represented by a MappedRecord or IndexedRecord.

Methods Summary
public java.lang.Object clone()
Creates and returns a copy of this object. The precise meaning of "copy" may depend on the class of the object.
return
a clone of this instance.
throws
CloneNotSupportedException If the object's class does not support the Cloneable interface Subclasses that override the clone method can also throw this exception to indicate that an instance cannot be cloned.
public boolean equals(java.lang.Object other)
Check if this instance is equal to another Record.
return
true if two instances are equal
public java.lang.String getRecordName()
Gets the name of the Record.
return
String representing name of the Record
public java.lang.String getRecordShortDescription()
Gets a short description string for the Record. This property is used primarily by application development tools.
return
String representing a short description of the Record
public int hashCode()
Returns the hash code for the Record instance.
return
hash code
public void setRecordName(java.lang.String name)
Sets the name of the Record.
param
name Name of the Record
public void setRecordShortDescription(java.lang.String description)
Sets a short description string for the Record. This property is used primarily by application development tools.
param
description Description of the Record
