Interface ResultSetExtractor<T>

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractLobStreamingResultSetExtractor, RowMapperResultSetExtractor, SqlRowSetResultSetExtractor

public interface ResultSetExtractor<T>

Callback interface used by JdbcTemplate's query methods. Implementations of this interface perform the actual work of extracting results from a ResultSet, but don't need to worry about exception handling. SQLExceptions will be caught and handled by the calling JdbcTemplate.

This interface is mainly used within the JDBC framework itself. A RowMapper is usually a simpler choice for ResultSet processing, mapping one result object per row instead of one result object for the entire ResultSet.

Note: In contrast to a RowCallbackHandler, a ResultSetExtractor object is typically stateless and thus reusable, as long as it doesn't access stateful resources (such as output streams when streaming LOB contents) or keep result state within the object.

Method Summary

T	extractData(ResultSet rs) Implementations must implement this method to process the entire ResultSet.

Method Detail

extractData

T extractData(ResultSet rs)
              throws SQLException,
                     DataAccessException

Implementations must implement this method to process the entire ResultSet.

Parameters:

rs - ResultSet to extract data from. Implementations should not close this: it will be closed by the calling JdbcTemplate.

Returns:

an arbitrary result object, or null if none (the extractor will typically be stateful in the latter case).

Throws:

SQLException - if a SQLException is encountered getting column values or navigating (that is, there's no need to catch SQLException)

DataAccessException - in case of custom exceptions
