      org.springframework.jdbc.core.SingleColumnRowMapper

All Implemented Interfaces:
  RowMapper

Direct Known Subclasses:
  ParameterizedSingleColumnRowMapper

    public class SingleColumnRowMapper

extends Object
implements RowMapper

`RowMapper` implementation that converts a single column into a single result value per row. Expects to operate on a `java.sql.ResultSet` that just contains a single column.

The type of the result value for each row can be specified. The value for the single column will be extracted from the `ResultSet` and converted into the specified target type.

  1.2

`protected Object` `convertValueToRequiredType(Object value, Class requiredType)` Convert the given column value to the specified required type.
`protected Object` `getColumnValue(ResultSet rs, int index)` Retrieve a JDBC object value for the specified column, using the most appropriate value type.
`protected Object` `getColumnValue(ResultSet rs, int index, Class requiredType)` Retrieve a JDBC object value for the specified column.
`Object` `mapRow(ResultSet rs, int rowNum)` Extract a value for the single column in the current row.

Constructor Detail

### SingleColumnRowMapper

    public SingleColumnRowMapper()

  Create a new SingleColumnRowMapper.

  See Also:
    `setRequiredType(java.lang.Class)`

### SingleColumnRowMapper

    public SingleColumnRowMapper(Class requiredType)

  Create a new SingleColumnRowMapper.

  Parameters:
    `requiredType` - the type that each result object is expected to match

Method Detail

### setRequiredType

    public void setRequiredType(Class requiredType)

  Set the type that each result object is expected to match.

  If not specified, the column value will be exposed as returned by the JDBC driver.

### mapRow

    public Object mapRow(ResultSet rs,
                         int rowNum)
                  throws SQLException

  Extract a value for the single column in the current row.

  Validates that there is only one column selected, then delegates to `getColumnValue()` and also `convertValueToRequiredType`, if necessary.

  Specified by:
    `mapRow` in interface `RowMapper`
  Parameters:
    `rs` - the ResultSet to map (pre-initialized for the current row)
    `rowNum` - the number of the current row
  Returns:
    the result object for the current row
  Throws:
    `SQLException` - if a SQLException is encountered getting column values (that is, there's no need to catch SQLException)
  See Also:
    `ResultSetMetaData.getColumnCount()`, `getColumnValue(java.sql.ResultSet, int, Class)`, `convertValueToRequiredType(Object, Class)`

### getColumnValue

    protected Object getColumnValue(ResultSet rs,
                                    int index,
                                    Class requiredType)
                             throws SQLException

  Retrieve a JDBC object value for the specified column.

  The default implementation calls `JdbcUtils.getResultSetValue(java.sql.ResultSet, int, Class)`. If no required type has been specified, this method delegates to `getColumnValue(rs, index)`, which basically calls `ResultSet.getObject(index)` but applies some additional default conversion to appropriate value types.

  Parameters:
    `rs` - is the ResultSet holding the data
    `index` - is the column index
    `requiredType` - the type that each result object is expected to match (or `null` if none specified)
  Returns:
    the Object value
  Throws:
    `SQLException` - in case of extraction failure
  See Also:
    `JdbcUtils.getResultSetValue(java.sql.ResultSet, int, Class)`, `getColumnValue(java.sql.ResultSet, int)`

### getColumnValue

    protected Object getColumnValue(ResultSet rs,
                                    int index)
                             throws SQLException

  Retrieve a JDBC object value for the specified column, using the most appropriate value type. Called if no required type has been specified.

  The default implementation delegates to `JdbcUtils.getResultSetValue()`, which uses the `ResultSet.getObject(index)` method. Additionally, it includes a "hack" to get around Oracle returning a non-standard object for their TIMESTAMP datatype. See the `JdbcUtils#getResultSetValue()` javadoc for details.

  Parameters:
    `rs` - is the ResultSet holding the data
    `index` - is the column index
  Returns:
    the Object value
  Throws:
    `SQLException` - in case of extraction failure
  See Also:
    `JdbcUtils.getResultSetValue(java.sql.ResultSet, int)`

### convertValueToRequiredType

    protected Object convertValueToRequiredType(Object value,
                                                Class requiredType)

  Convert the given column value to the specified required type. Only called if the extracted column value does not match already.

  If the required type is String, the value will simply get stringified via `toString()`. In case of a Number, the value will be converted into a Number, either through number conversion or through String parsing (depending on the value type).

  Parameters:
    `value` - the column value as extracted from `getColumnValue()` (never `null`)
    `requiredType` - the type that each result object is expected to match (never `null`)
  Returns:
    the converted value
  See Also:
    `getColumnValue(java.sql.ResultSet, int, Class)`
