Class SparseArray

java.lang.Object
oracle.jbo.server.SparseArray

All Implemented Interfaces:

SparseArrayInterface

public class SparseArray

extends java.lang.Object

implements SparseArrayInterface

The SparseArray represents Data from the datastore along with a flag whether data exists in a particular index into the array or not. This Array is designed for arrays that have small numbers of elements with a medium (200-400) spread on the indices. This array doesn't shrink the storage as tail-elements are removed because it assumes that the spread isn't very large.

Only ready only access is allowed to data within this class-instance.

Method Summary

void	clear(int index)
java.lang.Object	get(int index) Get the value at the specified index.
boolean	isEmpty()
boolean	isPopulated(int index) Is the slot populated.
void	set(int index, java.lang.Object value) Set a value at a given index.
SparseArray	toSparseArray()
java.lang.String	toString() Default call, return at most ten entries.
java.lang.String	toString(int maxEntries) For debugging, returns a string representation of the SparseArray in the form {Object[i],...} with an upperlimit of maxEnties in the list (zero for all entries) Only place the ellipsis if entries are omitted.
