Class ListRowData

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable

    public class ListRowData
extends RowData
implements java.io.Serializable
    The ListRowData class represents a list of data.

    The list of data is formatted into a series of rows where each row contains a finite number of columns determined by the ListMetaData object. Each column within a row contains an individual data item.

    Here are some examples of what a ListRowData object can represent:

    • A directory in the integrated file system.
    • A list of jobs.
    • A list of messages in a message queue.
    • A list of printers.
    • A list of spooled files.
    • A list of users.

    A ListRowData object maintains a position in the list that points to its current row of data. The initial position in the list is set before the first row. The next method moves to the next row in the list.

    The getObject method is used to retrieve the column value for the current row indexed by the column number. Columns are numbered starting from 0.

    The number, types, and properties of the list's columns are provided by the ListMetaData object returned by the getMetaData method.

    ListRowData objects generate the following events:

    • RowDataEvent - The events fired are:
      • rowAdded()
      • rowChanged()
      • rowRemoved()

    The following example creates a ListRowData object and adds rows to represent a directory in the integrated file system. 

      
  // Get the files in a directory.
  AS400 mySystem = new AS400("mySystem.myCompany.com");
  IFSFile f = new IFSFile(mySystem, pathName);
  FileListener listener = new FileListener();
  f.list(listener);
  Vector files = listener.getFiles();
  
  // Create a metadata object.
  ListMetaData metaData = new ListMetaData(4);
  
  // Set first column to be the file name.
  metaData.setColumnName(0, "Name");
  metaData.setColumnLabel(0, "Name");
  metaData.setColumnType(0, RowMetaDataType.STRING_DATA_TYPE);
  
  // Set second column to be the file size.
  metaData.setColumnName(1, "Size");
  metaData.setColumnLabel(1, "Size");
  metaData.setColumnType(1, RowMetaDataType.INTEGER_DATA_TYPE);
  
  // Set third column to the file data/time stamp.
  metaData.setColumnName(2, "DateTime");
  metaData.setColumnLabel(2, "Date/Time");
  metaData.setColumnType(2, RowMetaDataType.STRING_DATA_TYPE);
  
  // Set fourth column to the file type.
  metaData.setColumnName(3, "Type");
  metaData.setColumnLabel(3, "Type");
  metaData.setColumnType(3, RowMetaDataType.STRING_DATA_TYPE);
  
  // Create a ListRowData object.
  ListRowData rowData = new ListRowData();
  rowData.setMetaData(metaData);
  
  // Add directory entries to list.
  for (int i=0; i < files.size(); i++)
  {
     Object[] row = new Object[4];
     IFSFile file = (IFSFile)files.elementAt(i);
     row[0] = file.getName();
     row[1] = new Long(file.length());
     row[2] = new java.util.Date(file.lastModified());
     if (file.isDirectory())
     {
        row[3] = "Directory";
     }
     else
     {
        row[3] = "File";
     }
     rowData.addRow(row);
  }
