Class DefaultRecordSchema

DefaultRecordSchema
All Implemented Interfaces:
Record­Schema
@Deprecated(since="1.5", forRemoval=true) public class DefaultRecordSchema extends Object implements RecordSchema
Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.
The Record­Schema interface has been removed in the 2015 revision of the ISO 19103 standard.
A collection of record types in a given namespace. This class works also as a factory for creating Record­Type and Record instances. The factory methods are: Subclasses can modify the characteristics of the records to be created by overriding the following methods:

Thread safety

The same Default­Record­Schema instance can be safely used by many threads without synchronization on the part of the caller if the Name­Factory given to the constructor is also thread-safe. Subclasses should make sure that any overridden methods remain safe to call from multiple threads.

Limitations

This class is currently not serializable because Record­Schema contain an arbitrary number of record types in its description map. Since each Record­Type has a reference to its schema, serializing a single Record­Type could imply serializing all of them. In order to reduce the risk of unexpected behavior, serialization is currently left to subclasses. For example, a subclass may define a Object read­Resolve() method (as documented in the Serializable interface) returning a system-wide static constant for their schema.
