com.groiss.store
Interface View

All Superinterfaces:

Persistent

public interface View
extends Persistent

Objects implementing this interface provide a different perspective ("view") for a Persistent instance (the base object).

Usually just a subset of the fields / columns of the base object is accessible. So a view object provides a projection of the base object. A specific view class is always tied to a specific Persistent class.

@enterprise View-Forms do implement this interface.

Method Summary

java.lang.String	getBaseClassName() Get the class name of the base objects.
Persistent	getBaseObject() Get the base object instance.
void	setBaseObject(Persistent baseObject) Set the base object of the view instance.
java.lang.String[]	viewColumnNames() Get an array of column names of the base object class which are included in the view object class.
