Methods

The Java SDO Property interface provides the following methods:

• getDefault( ) — This method returns the default value this Property has in a DataObject (as specified by Java SDO) when the property has not yet been set. For example:

  Syntax

  Object getDefault()

• getName( ) — This method returns the name of the Property. For a column property, this is the ABL name of the corresponding temp-table field. For example:

  Syntax

  String getName()

• getType( ) — This method returns the Type of the Property. For example:

  Syntax

  Type getType()

• isMany( ) — This method returns true if this Property is defined as many-valued, and false if single-valued. If it returns true for a column property, the DataObject get*() methods return a java.lang.List. It always returns true for a reference property. For example:

  Syntax

  boolean isMany()
