Class BasisFieldType

java.lang.Object
  com.sap.ip.me.api.smartsync.BasisFieldType

public class BasisFieldType

extends java.lang.Object

An enumeration of possible basis field types for SmartSync. Each field type has a backend representation as well as a client representation.

To retrieve the FieldDescriptor instance on a certain delvDateField field.

FieldDesccriptor fieldDesc = delvDateField.getFieldDescriptor();

BasisFieldType basisFieldType = fieldDesc.getFieldType();

String backendRepresentation = basisFieldType.getBackendRepresentation();

The value of backendRepresentation will be 'D' as this is a date field. The values will be 'C','P','N','T' for the field types String, BigDecimal, BigInteger, java.sql.Time.

Class clientRepresentation = basisFieldType.getClientRepresentation();

The value of clientRepresentation will be java.sql.Date.class as this is a date field. The value will be String.class, BigDecimal.class, BigInteger.class, java.sql.Time.class for the field types String, BigDecimal, BigInteger, java.sql.Time.

AttributeType persistenceRepresentation = basisFieldType.getPersistenceRepresentation();

The value of persistenceRepresentation will be AttributeType.SQLDATE as this is a date field. The value will be AttributeType.STRING, AttributeType.BIGDECIMAL, AttributeType.BIGINTEGER, AttributeType.SQLTIME for the field types String, BigDecimal, BigInteger, java.sql.Time.
