Method Summary

GeoFieldIdentifier[]	getGeoFieldIdentifier() returns all describtions for all fields that contains geo spatial data.
GeoFieldIdentifier	getGeoFieldIdentifier(java.lang.String datastoreField) return an object that describes a field that contains geo spatial data.
java.lang.String	getIdField() returns the name of the table's field that shall be interpreted as ID
java.lang.String	getName() returns the name of the table. in the case that a datastore encapsulates an esri shapefile this is the name of the shape without extension
Reference[]	getReferences() returns all references contained within the table. an implementation have to ensure that if no references are contained a zero length will be returned
Reference[]	getReferences(java.lang.String datastoreField) returns an object that describes the reference to another table
java.lang.String	getTargetName() returns the name the table shall be mapped to at a feature (type)
boolean	isDeleteAllowed() returns true if deleting rows from the tables are allowed
boolean	isGeoFieldIdentifier(java.lang.String datastoreIdentifier) returns true if the submitted field shall be interpreted as field that contains geo spatial data. only needed for GMLDB and POINTDB
boolean	isIdFieldAutoIncremented() returns true if the value of the id will be set automaticly by a database
boolean	isIdFieldNumber() returns true if the id field is a number data type
boolean	isInsertAllowed() returns true if inserts into the table are allowed
boolean	isReference(java.lang.String datastoreField) returns true if the submitted field is a reference to another table
boolean	isUpdateAllowed() returns true if updates of the tables rows are allowed

Method Detail
