Constructor Detail

DateOutputType

public DateOutputType()

Default constructor.

DateOutputType

public DateOutputType(DateOutputType dot)

Copy constructor.

DateOutputType

public DateOutputType(java.lang.String dataName)

Creates a new default type with no identity.

Parameters:

dataName - data name (may be null)

DateOutputType

public DateOutputType(java.lang.String dataName,
                      java.lang.String id,
                      java.lang.String format)

Create a new date output type with localized date parsing.

This is the constructor the SQL type mapper Type.create(Integer,String,String,String) method will call to create a type that matches given SQL type.

Parameters:

dataName - data name (may be null)

id - type identity (may be null)

format - language and country codes, separated by single space characters. null or an empty specification string implies SQL date formatting.
