Enum DSServerType

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<DSServerType>

com.smartgwt.client.types.DSServerType

All Implemented Interfaces:

ValueEnum, java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<DSServerType>

public enum DSServerType
extends java.lang.Enum<DSServerType>
implements ValueEnum

Indicates what Smart GWT Server will do with a DataSource request if you call dsRequest.execute() in server code.

If you use a Java-based persistence layer not provided by Smart GWT, such as EJB or your own custom object model, you don't need to set dataSource.serverType and should follow the integration instructions.

Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants

Enum Constant and Description
GENERIC Requests will be delivered to the server and you are expected to write Java code to create a valid response.
HIBERNATE Use Hibernate, either using a real mapped bean or by automatically generating a Hibernate configuration based on a Smart GWT DataSource file (dataSourceID.ds.xml).
JPA Use Smart GWT's built-in JPA 2.0 connector.
JPA1 Use Smart GWT's built-in JPA 1.0 connector.
ODATA Use Smart GWT's built-in OData DataSource.
PROJECTFILE Requests will be delivered to the server and processed as FileSource operations, using directories or other DataSources which you configure via DataSource.projectFileKey or DataSource.projectFileLocations
REST Use Smart GWT's built-in RestConnector, which can connect to many different types of REST webservice
SQL Use Smart GWT's built-in SQL connectors to talk directly to relational databases.
UNION Use Smart GWT's built-in unionDataSource, which assimilates records from multiple member dataSources

Enum Constant Detail

SQL

public static final DSServerType SQL

Use Smart GWT's built-in SQL connectors to talk directly to relational databases.

If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "sql".

HIBERNATE

public static final DSServerType HIBERNATE

Use Hibernate, either using a real mapped bean or by automatically generating a Hibernate configuration based on a Smart GWT DataSource file (dataSourceID.ds.xml). See HibernateIntegration for details.

If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "hibernate".

JPA

public static final DSServerType JPA

Use Smart GWT's built-in JPA 2.0 connector.

If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "jpa".

JPA1

public static final DSServerType JPA1

Use Smart GWT's built-in JPA 1.0 connector.

If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "jpa1".

REST

public static final DSServerType REST

Use Smart GWT's built-in RestConnector, which can connect to many different types of REST webservice

If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "rest".

ODATA

public static final DSServerType ODATA

Use Smart GWT's built-in OData DataSource. This is a specialized subclass of the RestConnector which adds functionality for REST webservices that follow the OData protocol

If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "odata".

GENERIC

public static final DSServerType GENERIC

Requests will be delivered to the server and you are expected to write Java code to create a valid response. Throws an error if the server side method dsRequest.execute() is called. This is appropriate if you intend an entirely custom implementation, and you want an error thrown if there is an attempt to call an operation you have not implemented.

If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "generic".

PROJECTFILE

public static final DSServerType PROJECTFILE

Requests will be delivered to the server and processed as FileSource operations, using directories or other DataSources which you configure via DataSource.projectFileKey or DataSource.projectFileLocations

If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "projectFile".

UNION

public static final DSServerType UNION

Use Smart GWT's built-in unionDataSource, which assimilates records from multiple member dataSources

If this enumerated value is used in a Component XML file or server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file), use the value "union".

Method Detail

values

public static DSServerType[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (DSServerType c : DSServerType.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static DSServerType valueOf(java.lang.String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null

getValue

public java.lang.String getValue()

Specified by:

getValue in interface ValueEnum
