Class DBColumnChoice

java.lang.Object

de.esprit.common.util.DumpableObject

de.esprit.appsuite.database.dbase.DBColumnChoice

All Implemented Interfaces:

Dumpable

public class DBColumnChoice
extends DumpableObject

This class encapsulates a possible value for a particular database column whereas the value is associated with a translated textual description for it. This object is supposed to be added as menu items into JComboBoxes.
The static method getChoices(tableColumn) returns a list of choices for the given database column for loading them into a JComboBox.
Note that this class contains static code that loads all known choice values before this class is actually used.

Note that each column also may have a description. The translation key for the description is generated automatically and the translated description text is requested from the Translation class.
