Class VirtualTable

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable
    public class VirtualTable
extends Object
implements Serializable
    Describes a virtual table, that is, a feature type created starting from a generic SQL query. This class also carries information about the primary key (to generate stable feature ids) and the geometry type and native srid (as in most databases those informations are not available on.

    The sql query can contain named parameters. Each parameter has a name, a default value and a way to validate its contents to prevent sql injection.

    As well as passing validation, parameters are also passed through a function to escape double quotes, single quotes and strip backslashes to guard against the cases where quotes are desired in the parameters or backslashes have been allowed by an overly lax regular expression.

    Escaping is enabled by default and can be controlled by a constructor argument or via the setEscapeSql() method.

      • setKeepWhereClausePlaceHolderHint

        public static Hints setKeepWhereClausePlaceHolderHint​(Query query)
        If the provided query has a filter of a where clause place holder exists it will be preserved.
        Parameters:
        query - the query to test
        Returns:
        a query hints map that will contain an entry specifying if the the where clause place holder should be keep or not

      • setKeepWhereClausePlaceHolderHint

        public static Hints setKeepWhereClausePlaceHolderHint​(Hints hints,
                                                      boolean keepWhereClausePlaceHolder)
        Will add an entry to query hints specifying if the the where clause place holder should be keep or not. If the provided hints is NULL a new one will be instantiated and returned.
        Parameters:
        hints - query hints to update, if NULL a new hints map will be created
        keepWhereClausePlaceHolder - TRUE if the where clause place holder should be keep
        Returns:
        a query hints map that will contain an entry specifying if the the where clause place holder should be keep or not

      • getPrimaryKeyColumns

        public List<String> getPrimaryKeyColumns()
        Returns the virtual table primary key columns. It should refer to fields returned by the query, if that is not true the behavior is undefined

      • setPrimaryKeyColumns

        public void setPrimaryKeyColumns​(List<String> primaryKeyColumns)
        Sets the virtual table primary key

      • getName

        public String getName()
        The virtual table name

      • getSql

        public String getSql()
        The virtual table sql (raw, without parameter expansion)

                                  int nativeSrid)
        Adds geometry metadata to the virtual table. This is important to get the datastore working, often that is not the case if the right native srid is not in place

        Adds geometry metadata to the virtual table. This is important to get the datastore working, often that is not the case if the right native srid is not in place
