Method Detail

getType

public final String getType()
                     throws Exception

Retrieves the Type of the current property

Returns:

the type of the current property

Throws:

Exception - An unrecoverable for the operation error has occured

setType

public final void setType(String type)
                   throws Exception

Sets the Type of the current property element

Parameters:

type - The type this property element has

Throws:

Exception - An unrecoverable for the operation error has occured

getType

public static final String getType(String xml)
                            throws Exception

Retrieves the Type of the provided property serialization

Parameters:

xml - the serialixed property

Returns:

the type of the provided property

Throws:

Exception - An unrecoverable for the operation error has occured

RS_toXML

public final String RS_toXML()
                      throws Exception

Creates a serialization of the current property element that can be added to the ResultSet head part.

Returns:

The valid serialization of the property element

Throws:

Exception - An unrecoverable for the operation error has occured

RS_fromXML

public final void RS_fromXML(String xml)
                      throws Exception

Populates the current property element with provided property serialization

Parameters:

xml - The serialized property

Throws:

Exception - An unrecoverable for the operation error has occured

fromXML

public abstract void fromXML(String xml)
                      throws Exception

Method to be implemented that will handle the population of the custom Property element. It is called by the RS_fromXML(String) after it has striped the xml serialization of the type property

Parameters:

xml - The striped xml serialization the custom property element must handle

Throws:

Exception - The extending element can specify the Exception that is thrown

toXML()

toXML

public abstract String toXML()
                      throws Exception

Method to be implemented that will handle the serialization of the custom Property element. It is called by the RS_toXML() which then enriches the returned serialization to produce a valid property xml string

Returns:

an xml serialization of the proeprty content

Throws:

Exception - The extending element can specify the Exception that is thrown
