oracle.toplink.objectrelational
Class ArrayMapping

java.lang.Object
oracle.toplink.mappings.DatabaseMapping
oracle.toplink.sdk.SDKDirectCollectionMapping
oracle.toplink.objectrelational.ArrayMapping

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Cloneable, ContainerMapping, SDKCollectionMapping, java.io.Serializable

public class ArrayMapping

extends SDKDirectCollectionMapping

Purpose: In an object-relational data model, structures can contain "Arrays" or collections of other data-types. In Oracle 8i, a "VARRAY" is typically used to represent a collection of primitive data or aggregate structures. These arrays are stored with their parent structure in the same table.

StructureMapping, NestedTableMapping, ReferenceMapping, Serialized Form

Constructor Summary

ArrayMapping()
Default constructor.
