# Class ResultSetDynaClass

java.lang.Object
org.apache.commons.beanutils.ResultSetDynaClass

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Serializable`, `DynaClass`

public class ResultSetDynaClass extends Object

Implements `DynaClass` for DynaBeans that wrap the `java.sql.Row` objects of a `java.sql.ResultSet`. The normal usage pattern is something like:

       ResultSet rs = ...;
       ResultSetDynaClass rsdc = new ResultSetDynaClass(rs);
       Iterator rows = rsdc.iterator();
       while (rows.hasNext())  {
         DynaBean row = (DynaBean) rows.next();
         ... process this row ...
       }
       rs.close();

Each column in the result set will be represented as a DynaBean property of the corresponding name (optionally forced to lower case for portability).

WARNING - Any `DynaBean` instance returned by this class, or from the `Iterator` returned by the `iterator()` method, is directly linked to the row that the underlying result set is currently positioned at. This has the following implications:

- Once you retrieve a different `DynaBean` instance, you should no longer use any previous instance.
- Changing the position of the underlying result set will change the data that the `DynaBean` references.
- Once the underlying result set is closed, the `DynaBean` instance may no longer be used.

Any database data that you wish to utilize outside the context of the current row of an open result set must be copied. For example, you could use the following code to create standalone copies of the information in a result set:

       ArrayList results = new ArrayList(); // To hold copied list
       ResultSetDynaClass rsdc = ...;
       DynaProperty[] properties = rsdc.getDynaProperties();
       BasicDynaClass bdc =
         new BasicDynaClass("foo", BasicDynaBean.class,
                            rsdc.getDynaProperties());
       Iterator rows = rsdc.iterator();
       while (rows.hasNext()) {
         DynaBean oldRow = (DynaBean) rows.next();
         DynaBean newRow = bdc.newInstance();
         PropertyUtils.copyProperties(newRow, oldRow);
         results.add(newRow);
       }

  - ### ResultSetDynaClass

    public ResultSetDynaClass(ResultSet resultSet) throws SQLException

    Construct a new ResultSetDynaClass for the specified `ResultSet`. The property names corresponding to column names in the result set will be lower cased.

    Parameters:
      `resultSet` - The result set to be wrapped
    Throws:
      `NullPointerException` - if `resultSet` is `null`

  - ### ResultSetDynaClass

    public ResultSetDynaClass(ResultSet resultSet, boolean lowerCase) throws SQLException

    Construct a new ResultSetDynaClass for the specified `ResultSet`. The property names corresponding to the column names in the result set will be lower cased or not, depending on the specified `lowerCase` value.

    WARNING - If you specify `false` for `lowerCase`, the returned property names will exactly match the column names returned by your JDBC driver. Because different drivers might return column names in different cases, the property names seen by your application will vary depending on which JDBC driver you are using.

    Parameters:

      `lowerCase` - Should property names be lower cased?
    Throws:
      `NullPointerException` - if `resultSet` is `null`

    WARNING - If you specify `false` for `lowerCase`, the returned property names will exactly match the column names returned by your JDBC driver. Because different drivers might return column names in different cases, the property names seen by your application will vary depending on which JDBC driver you are using.

    Parameters:
      `resultSet` - The result set to be wrapped
