Class Overview

Reusable RDBMS query in which concrete subclasses must implement the abstract mapRow(ResultSet, int) method to map each row of the JDBC ResultSet into an object.

Such manual mapping is usually preferable to "automatic" mapping using reflection, which can become complex in non-trivial cases. For example, the present class allows different objects to be used for different rows (for example, if a subclass is indicated). It allows computed fields to be set. And there's no need for ResultSet columns to have the same names as bean properties. The Pareto Principle in action: going the extra mile to automate the extraction process makes the framework much more complex and delivers little real benefit.

Subclasses can be constructed providing SQL, parameter types and a DataSource. SQL will often vary between subclasses.

Public Constructors

public MappingSqlQueryWithParameters ()

Constructor to allow use as a JavaBean

public MappingSqlQueryWithParameters (DataSource ds, String sql)

Convenient constructor with DataSource and SQL string.

Parameters
ds DataSource to use to get connections
sql SQL to run

Protected Methods

protected abstract T mapRow (ResultSet rs, int rowNum, Object[] parameters, Map context)

Subclasses must implement this method to convert each row of the ResultSet into an object of the result type.

Parameters
rs ResultSet we're working through
rowNum row number (from 0) we're up to
parameters to the query (passed to the execute() method). Subclasses are rarely interested in these. It can be null if there are no parameters.
context passed to the execute() method. It can be null if no contextual information is need.
Returns
  • an object of the result type
Throws
SQLException if there's an error extracting data. Subclasses can simply not catch SQLExceptions, relying on the framework to clean up.

protected RowMapper<T> newRowMapper (Object[] parameters, Map context)

Implementation of protected abstract method. This invokes the subclass's implementation of the mapRow() method.

Parameters
parameters the parameters to the execute() method, in case subclass is interested; may be null if there were no parameters.
context contextual information passed to the mapRow callback method. The JDBC operation itself doesn't rely on this parameter, but it can be useful for creating the objects of the result list.
