35 * The standard interface that all standard implementations of
36 * <code>FilteredRowSet</code> must implement. The <code>FilteredRowSetImpl</code> class
37 * provides the reference implementation which may be extended if required.
38 * Alternatively, a vendor is free to implement its own version
39 * by implementing this interface.
40 *
41 * <h3>1.0 Background</h3>
42 *
43 * There are occasions when a <code>RowSet</code> object has a need to provide a degree
44 * of filtering to its contents. One possible solution is to provide
45 * a query language for all standard <code>RowSet</code> implementations; however,
46 * this is an impractical approach for lightweight components such as disconnected
47 * <code>RowSet</code>
48 * objects. The <code>FilteredRowSet</code> interface seeks to address this need
49 * without supplying a heavyweight query language along with the processing that
50 * such a query language would require.
51 * <p>
52 * A JDBC <code>FilteredRowSet</code> standard implementation implements the
53 * <code>RowSet</code> interfaces and extends the
54 * <code>CachedRowSet</code><sup><font size=-2>TM</font></sup> class. The
55 * <code>CachedRowSet</code> class provides a set of protected cursor manipulation
56 * methods, which a <code>FilteredRowSet</code> implementation can override
57 * to supply filtering support.
58 *
59 * <h3>2.0 Predicate Sharing</h3>
60 *
61 * If a <code>FilteredRowSet</code> implementation is shared using the
62 * inherited <code>createShared</code> method in parent interfaces, the
63 * <code>Predicate</code> should be shared without modification by all
64 * <code>FilteredRowSet</code> instance clones.
65 *
66 * <h3>3.0 Usage</h3>
67 * <p>
68 * By implementing a <code>Predicate</code> (see example in <a href="Predicate.html">Predicate</a>
69 * class JavaDoc), a <code>FilteredRowSet</code> could then be used as described
70 * below.
71 * <P>
72 * <code>
73 * <pre>
74 * FilteredRowSet frs = new FilteredRowSetImpl();
75 * frs.populate(rs);
76 *
77 * Range name = new Range("Alpha", "Bravo", "columnName");
78 * frs.setFilter(name);
79 *
80 * frs.next() // only names from "Alpha" to "Bravo" will be returned
81 * </pre>
82 * </code>
83 * In the example above, we initialize a <code>Range</code> object which
84 * implements the <code>Predicate</code> interface. This object expresses
85 * the following constraints: All rows outputted or modified from this
86 * <code>FilteredRowSet</code> object must fall between the values 'Alpha' and
87 * 'Bravo' both values inclusive, in the column 'columnName'. If a filter is
88 * applied to a <code>FilteredRowSet</code> object that contains no data that
89 * falls within the range of the filter, no rows are returned.
90 * <p>
91 * This framework allows multiple classes implementing predicates to be
92 * used in combination to achieved the required filtering result with
93 * out the need for query language processing.
94 * <p>
95 * <h3>4.0 Updating a <code>FilteredRowSet</code> Object</h3>
96 * The predicate set on a <code>FilteredRowSet</code> object
97 * applies a criterion on all rows in a
98 * <code>RowSet</code> object to manage a subset of rows in a <code>RowSet</code>
99 * object. This criterion governs the subset of rows that are visible and also
100 * defines which rows can be modified, deleted or inserted.
101 * <p>
102 * Therefore, the predicate set on a <code>FilteredRowSet</code> object must be
