ShortType

public ShortType()

Method Detail

getJdbcType

public int getJdbcType()

Description copied from interface: DataType

Returns the JDBC type codemost closely matching this type.

Specified by:

getJdbcType in interface DataType

Specified by:

getJdbcType in class BaseDataType

getPreferredValueClassName

public String getPreferredValueClassName()

Description copied from interface: DataType

Returns the "normal" type returned by DataType.convert(java.lang.Object). Returns java.lang.Object if unknown.

Specified by:

getPreferredValueClassName in interface DataType

Overrides:

getPreferredValueClassName in class BaseDataType

See Also:

AxionResultSetMetaData.getColumnClassName(int)

getPrecision

public int getPrecision()

Description copied from interface: DataType

Value returned by ResultSetMetaData#getPrecisionfor this data type.

Specified by:

getPrecision in interface DataType

Overrides:

getPrecision in class BaseDataType

toString

public String toString()

convert

public Object convert(Object value)
               throws IllegalArgumentException

Returns an Short converted from the given value, or throws IllegalArgumentException if the given value isn't acceptable.

Specified by:

convert in interface DataType

Overrides:

convert in class BaseNumberDataType

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException

successor

public Object successor(Object value)
                 throws IllegalArgumentException

Description copied from interface: DataType

Returns the successor for the given value. For example, the successor of the integer 1 is 2.

Specified by:

successor in interface DataType

Overrides:

successor in class BaseDataType

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException

read

public Object read(DataInput in)
            throws IOException

Description copied from interface: DataType

Instantiate an object of my type from the given DataInput. The next sequence of bytes to be read from the DataInput will have been written by DataType.write(java.lang.Object, java.io.DataOutput).

Specified by:

read in interface DataType

Specified by:

read in class BaseDataType

Throws:

IOException

See Also:

write(java.lang.Object, java.io.DataOutput)

write

public void write(Object value,
                  DataOutput out)
           throws IOException

Writes the given value to the given DataOutput. Null values are written as Short.MIN_VALUE, false. Short.MIN_VALUE values are written as Short.MIN_VALUE, true. All other values are written directly.

Specified by:

write in interface DataType

Specified by:

write in class BaseDataType

Parameters:

value - the value to write, which must be acceptable

Throws:

IOException

makeNewInstance

public DataType makeNewInstance()

Specified by:

makeNewInstance in interface DataTypeFactory

Specified by:

makeNewInstance in class BaseDataType

compare

public int compare(Object a,
                   Object b)

Specified by:

compare in interface Comparator

Overrides:

compare in class BaseDataType

getComparator

protected Comparator getComparator()

Description copied from class: BaseDataType

This base implementation simply returns a ComparableComparator.

Overrides:

getComparator in class BaseDataType
