Annotation Interface GenAsDatastoreArray

@Retention(CLASS)
@Target(TYPE)
@Documented
public @interface GenAsDatastoreArray

Indicates that the class is to be implemented as a DatastoreArray. Annotated classes will automatically implement the DatastoreArray interface and need not include it in the implements clause.

Supported API: true

Required Element Summary

String	objectName	The database's name for this object.
Class	superClass	The parent class for this class.

Element Details

objectName

String objectName

The database's name for this object. Note that the default value ("") indicates that the class's name should be used.

Rose conversion note: Corresponds to Class Specification -> Windchill -> Array Set -> ObjectName.

Supported API: true

Default:

""

arrayType

Class arrayType

The database type for elements in this array. Should consist of a database primitive (a java.lang or java.sql type) or an instance of GenAsDatastoreStruct.

Rose conversion note: Corresponds to Class Specification -> Windchill -> Array Set -> ArrayType.

Supported API: true

superClass

Class superClass

The parent class for this class. This class would normally be the class designated by the extends statement and is needed because the annotated class must extend "_"+classname" (for example public MyClass extends _MyClass).

Note: the parent should either be Object (which is the default) or some abstract/concrete class that implements DatastoreArray, like AbstractDatastoreArray.

Rose conversion note: Corresponds to Class Specification -> Relations -> Specialize Class (where the specialized class is the single (non-interface) parent class).

Supported API: true

Default:

java.lang.Object.class

interfaces

Class[] interfaces

The interfaces this class/interface extends/implements. These interfaces would normally be present in the extends clause (for an interface) or the implements clause (for a class), but must, instead, be present in this property because of the manner in which Java treats static final fields.

Rose conversion note: Corresponds to Class Specification -> Relations -> Specialize Class (where the specialized class is the single (non-interface) parent class).

Supported API: true

Default:

{}
