All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable

Deprecated.

```
public abstract class DsData
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable
```
The DsData class is the abstract base class for all datatypes in this package. It defines the default behavior for all datatypes thus making the setting of the data polymorphic so that clients can dynamically create a datatype from the registry and set its data.

```
public DsData()
```
    Deprecated.
    
    DsData constructor.
- Method Detail
  - clone
```
public java.lang.Object clone()
```
    Deprecated.
    
    This method will make a clone of this object.
    
    Overrides:
    
    clone in class java.lang.Object
    
    Returns:
    
    The cloned object.
  - fetchResults
```
public abstract void fetchResults(java.sql.ResultSet rs,
                int col)
                           throws java.sql.SQLException
```
    Deprecated.
    
    This method fetches the data for this object from an SQL result set.
    
    Parameters:
    
    rs - The SQL result set.
    
    col - The column index.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.sql.SQLException
  - getData
```
public abstract java.lang.Object getData()
```
    Deprecated.
    
    This method allows access to the raw data inside the object. It must be implemented by all subclasses and is needed so that data can be copied in a generic way.
    
    Returns:
    
    The raw internal data.
  - getLocale
```
public java.util.Locale getLocale()
```
    Deprecated.
    
    Get the locale associated with the data in this object.
    
    Returns:
    
    The locale.
  - getPresentationString
```
public abstract java.lang.String getPresentationString()
```
    Deprecated.
    
    This method returns the value of this Data object formatted for presentation.
    
    Returns:
    
    The formatted value.
  - getUnformattedData
```
public abstract java.lang.String getUnformattedData()
```
    Deprecated.
    
    Get the string representation of the data before any formatting is applied.
    
    Returns:
    
    The data value.
  - instantiate
```
public static DsData instantiate(java.lang.String className)
```
    Deprecated.
    
    This method will instantiate a DsData object from it's class name. If the class cannot be instantiated, a null will be returned.
    
    Parameters:
    
    className - The name of the derived DsData class you want to instantiate.
    
    Returns:
    
    An object in the DsData class hierarchy.
  - setData
```
public abstract void setData(java.lang.Object obj)
```
    Deprecated.
    
    This method provides a polymorphic way to set the data in a DsData object. The actual data type that is contained in the derived classes will almost certainly be a specific type. It is expected that subclasses will have to throw an IllegalArgumentException if the wrong data type is passed in.
    
    Parameters:
    
    newValue - The data to be set in the object.
  - setLocale
```
public void setLocale(java.util.Locale newValue)
```
    Deprecated.
    
    Set the locale to be associated with the data in this object.
    
    Parameters:
    
    newValue - The locale.
  - toString
```
public java.lang.String toString()
```
    Deprecated.
    
    Return the presentation string for this object.
    
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class java.lang.Object
    
    Returns:
    
    The presentation string.
