Class GlobalView

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    DataRow, DataSet

    public final class GlobalView
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements DataRow
    The global view holds all *named* data columns. Expressions which have no name will not appear here. There is a slot for each name - if expressions share the same name, the last name wins.

    This acts as some kind of global variables heap - which allows named functions to export their values to a global space.

    This datarow is optimized for named access - the sequential access is only generated when absolutly needed.

      • createView

        public static GlobalView createView()
      • putField

        public void putField​(java.lang.String name,
                             java.lang.Object value,
                             boolean update)
                      throws DataSourceException
        This adds the expression to the data-row and queries the expression for the first time.
        Parameters:
        name - the name of the field (cannot be null)
        value - the value of that field (may be null)
        Throws:
        DataSourceException
      • get

        public java.lang.Object get​(int col)
                             throws DataSourceException
        Returns the value of the expression or column in the tablemodel using the given column number as index. For functions and expressions, the getValue() method is called and for columns from the tablemodel the tablemodel method getValueAt(row, column) gets called.
        Specified by:
        get in interface DataRow
        Specified by:
        get in interface DataSet
        Parameters:
        col - the item index.
        Returns:
        the value.
        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalStateException - if the datarow detected a deadlock.
        DataSourceException - if an error occured.
      • get

        public java.lang.Object get​(java.lang.String col)
                             throws DataSourceException
        Returns the value of the function, expression or column using its specific name. The given name is translated into a valid column number and the the column is queried. For functions and expressions, the getValue() method is called and for columns from the tablemodel the tablemodel method getValueAt(row, column) gets called.
        Specified by:
        get in interface DataRow
        Parameters:
        col - the item index.
        Returns:
        the value.
        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalStateException - if the datarow detected a deadlock.
        DataSourceException - if an error occured.
      • getColumnName

        public java.lang.String getColumnName​(int col)
        Returns the name of the column, expression or function. For columns from the tablemodel, the tablemodels getColumnName method is called. For functions, expressions and report properties the assigned name is returned.
        Specified by:
        getColumnName in interface DataRow
        Specified by:
        getColumnName in interface DataSet
        Parameters:
        col - the item index.
        Returns:
        the name.
      • getColumnCount

        public int getColumnCount()

        getColumnCount in interface DataRow
        Specified by:
        getColumnCount in interface DataSet
        Returns:
        the item count.
