Enum DSServerType

java.lang.Object
java.lang.Enum<DSServerType>
com.smartgwt.client.types.DSServerType
All Implemented Interfaces:
ValueEnum, Serializable, Comparable<DSServerType>, Constable
public enum DSServerType extends 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 Details

    • 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 Details

    • values

      public static DSServerType[] values()
      Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.
      Returns:
      an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

    • valueOf

      public static DSServerType valueOf(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:
      IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
      NullPointerException - if the argument is null

    • getValue

      public String getValue()
      Specified by:
      getValue in interface ValueEnum
