Class ConstructorReportItem

java.lang.Object

org.eclipse.persistence.internal.queries.ReportItem

org.eclipse.persistence.queries.ConstructorReportItem

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable

public class ConstructorReportItem
extends org.eclipse.persistence.internal.queries.ReportItem

Purpose: An item specifying a class constructor method to be used in a ReportQuery's returned results.

Example:

      ConstructorReportItem item = new ConstructorReportItem("Employee");
      item.setResultType(Employee.class);
      item.addAttribute("firstName", employees.get("firstName"));
      query.addConstructorReportItem(item);
 

When executed will return a collection of ReportQueryResults that contain Employee objects created using the new Employee(firstname) constructor.
