Class PropertyNameList

  +--PropertyNameList

public final class PropertyNameList

extends Object

A list of resource property names. One of the most common applications of a PropertyNameList is to identify a list of property values to be retrieved from a persistent resource.

The property names can be nested, reflecting the fact that property values can be objects that in turn have properties. For example, the following code fragment creates a property name list that identifies the CREATOR_DISPLAYNAME, CHECKED_IN, and LAST_MODIFIED properties, as well as the VERSION_NAME and CREATION_DATE of the value of the CHECKED_IN property:

 PropertyNameList pnl =
   new PropertyNameList(new PropertyName[] {
     PropertyName.CREATOR_DISPLAY_NAME,
     new NestedPropertyName(
       PropertyName.CHECKED_IN,
       new PropertyNameList(new PropertyName[] {
         PropertyName.VERSION_NAME,
         PropertyName.CREATION_DATE }),
         PropertyName.LAST_MODIFIED)});
