Introduction

The DataExpress Component Library Reference is a reference guide to the DataExpress and JDataStore libraries, full-featured APIs for Java application development.

The chapters in this book are organized to give you quick access to the information you need in order to use the classes, components, and interfaces defined in the libraries.

The first section in each chapter contains an overview of the package and lists the classes, components and interfaces it contains. The classes, components, and interfaces in that package follow in alphabetical order. The documentation for a class, component, or interface contains the following sections:

The tables in each section list not only the variables, properties, and methods that are defined within that class, component, or interface, but also list all those that are inherited. If a table lists an entry as being in “this class,” but you cannot find the entry’s description in the section following the table, it is inherited. Using these tables, you can easily see what methods and fields are available, not just those implemented within that class, component, or interface.
