## Class RowSetMetaDataImpl

- java.lang.Object
- - javax.sql.rowset.RowSetMetaDataImpl

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, ResultSetMetaData, Wrapper, RowSetMetaData

      public class RowSetMetaDataImpl
      extends Object
      implements RowSetMetaData, Serializable

  Provides implementations for the methods that set and get metadata information about a `RowSet` object's columns. A `RowSetMetaDataImpl` object keeps track of the number of columns in the rowset and maintains an internal array of column attributes for each column.

  A `RowSet` object creates a `RowSetMetaDataImpl` object internally in order to set and retrieve information about its columns.

  NOTE: All metadata in a `RowSetMetaDataImpl` object should be considered as unavailable until the `RowSet` object that it describes is populated. Therefore, any `RowSetMetaDataImpl` method that retrieves information is defined as having unspecified behavior when it is called before the `RowSet` object contains data.

          public String getColumnClassName(int columnIndex)
                                    throws SQLException

      Retrieves the fully-qualified name of the class in the Java programming language to which a value in the designated column will be mapped. For example, if the value is an `int`, the class name returned by this method will be `java.lang.Integer`.

      If the value in the designated column has a custom mapping, this method returns the name of the class that implements `SQLData`. When the method `ResultSet.getObject` is called to retrieve a value from the designated column, it will create an instance of this class or one of its subclasses.

      Specified by:
        `getColumnClassName` in interface `ResultSetMetaData`
      Parameters:
        `columnIndex` - the first column is 1, the second is 2, and so on; must be between `1` and the number of columns, inclusive
      Returns:
        the fully-qualified name of the class in the Java programming language that would be used by the method `RowSet.getObject` to retrieve the value in the specified column. This is the class name used for custom mapping when there is a custom mapping.
      Throws:
        `SQLException` - if a database access error occurs or the given column number is out of bounds

    - #### unwrap

          public <T> T unwrap(Class<T> iface)
                   throws SQLException

      Returns an object that implements the given interface to allow access to non-standard methods, or standard methods not exposed by the proxy. The result may be either the object found to implement the interface or a proxy for that object. If the receiver implements the interface then that is the object. If the receiver is a wrapper and the wrapped object implements the interface then that is the object. Otherwise the object is the result of calling `unwrap` recursively on the wrapped object. If the receiver is not a wrapper and does not implement the interface, then an `SQLException` is thrown.
      Specified by:
        `unwrap` in interface `Wrapper`
      Parameters:
        `iface` - A Class defining an interface that the result must implement.
      Returns:
        an object that implements the interface. May be a proxy for the actual implementing object.
      Throws:
        `SQLException` - If no object found that implements the interface
      Since:
        1.6

    - #### isWrapperFor

          public boolean isWrapperFor(Class<?> interfaces)
                               throws SQLException

      Returns true if this either implements the interface argument or is directly or indirectly a wrapper for an object that does. Returns false otherwise. If this implements the interface then return true, else if this is a wrapper then return the result of recursively calling `isWrapperFor` on the wrapped object. If this does not implement the interface and is not a wrapper, return false. This method should be implemented as a low-cost operation compared to `unwrap` so that callers can use this method to avoid expensive `unwrap` calls that may fail. If this method returns true then calling `unwrap` with the same argument should succeed.
      Specified by:
        `isWrapperFor` in interface `Wrapper`
      Parameters:
        `interfaces` - a Class defining an interface.
      Returns:
        true if this implements the interface or directly or indirectly wraps an object that does.
      Throws:
        `SQLException` - if an error occurs while determining whether this is a wrapper for an object with the given interface.
      Since:
        1.6
