javax.sql.rowset.serial
Class SerialClob

java.lang.Object
  javax.sql.rowset.serial.SerialClob

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable, Clob

public class SerialClob
extends Object
implements Clob, Serializable, Cloneable

A serialized mapping in the Java programming language of an SQL CLOB value.

The SerialClob class provides a constructor for creating an instance from a Clob object. Note that the Clob object should have brought the SQL CLOB value's data over to the client before a SerialClob object is constructed from it. The data of an SQL CLOB value can be materialized on the client as a stream of Unicode characters.

SerialClob methods make it possible to get a substring from a SerialClob object or to locate the start of a pattern of characters.

Constructor Detail

SerialClob

public SerialClob(char[] ch)
           throws SerialException,
                  SQLException

Constructs a SerialClob object that is a serialized version of the given char array.

The new SerialClob object is initialized with the data from the char array, thus allowing disconnected RowSet objects to establish a serialized Clob object without touching the data source.

Parameters:

ch - the char array representing the Clob object to be serialized

Throws:

SerialException - if an error occurs during serialization

SQLException - if a SQL error occurs

SerialClob

public SerialClob(Clob clob)
           throws SerialException,
                  SQLException

Constructs a SerialClob object that is a serialized version of the given Clob object.

The new SerialClob object is initialized with the data from the Clob object; therefore, the Clob object should have previously brought the SQL CLOB value's data over to the client from the database. Otherwise, the new SerialClob object object will contain no data.

Note: The Clob object supplied to this constructor cannot return null for the Clob.getCharacterStream() and Clob.getAsciiStream methods. This SerialClob constructor cannot serialize a Clob object in this instance and will throw an SQLException object.

Parameters:

clob - the Clob object from which this SerialClob object is to be constructed; cannot be null

Throws:

SerialException - if an error occurs during serialization

SQLException - if a SQL error occurs in capturing the CLOB; if the Clob object is a null; or if both the Clob.getCharacterStream() and Clob.getAsciiStream() methods on the Clob return a null

Method Detail

length

public long length()
            throws SerialException

Retrieves the number of characters in this SerialClob object's array of characters.

Specified by:

length in interface Clob

Returns:

a long indicating the length in characters of this SerialClob object's array of character

Throws:

SerialException - if an error occurs

getCharacterStream

public Reader getCharacterStream()
                          throws SerialException

Returns this SerialClob object's data as a stream of Unicode characters. Unlike the related method, getAsciiStream, a stream is produced regardless of whether the SerialClob object was created with a Clob object or a char array.

Specified by:

getCharacterStream in interface Clob

Returns:

a java.io.Reader object containing this SerialClob object's data

Throws:

SerialException - if an error occurs

See Also:

Clob.setCharacterStream(long)

getAsciiStream

                                  SQLException

Retrieves the CLOB value designated by this SerialClob object as an ascii stream. This method forwards the getAsciiStream call to the underlying Clob object in the event that this SerialClob object is instantiated with a Clob object. If this SerialClob object is instantiated with a char array, a SerialException object is thrown.

Specified by:

getAsciiStream in interface Clob

Returns:

a java.io.InputStream object containing this SerialClob object's data

Throws:

SerialException - if this SerialClob object was not instantiated with a Clob object

This method frees the Clob object and releases the resources the resources that it holds. The object is invalid once the free method is called.

After free has been called, any attempt to invoke a method other than free will result in a SQLException being thrown. If free is called multiple times, the subsequent calls to free are treated as a no-op.

Specified by:

free in interface Clob

Throws:

SQLException - if an error occurs releasing the Clob's resources

SQLFeatureNotSupportedException - if the JDBC driver does not support this method
