All Implemented Interfaces:

TableEntity

public class DynamicTableEntity
extends TableServiceEntity

A TableEntity type which allows callers direct access to the property map of the entity. This class extends TableServiceEntity to eliminate the use of reflection for serialization and deserialization.

Constructor Detail

DynamicTableEntity

public DynamicTableEntity()

Nullary default constructor.

DynamicTableEntity

public DynamicTableEntity(String partitionKey,
                          String rowKey)

Initializes a new instance of the DynamicTableEntity class with the specified partition key and row key.

Parameters:

partitionKey - A String which represents the partition key of the DynamicTableEntity to be initialized.

rowKey - A String which represents the row key of the DynamicTableEntity to be initialized.

DynamicTableEntity

public DynamicTableEntity(HashMap<String,EntityProperty> properties)

Constructs a DynamicTableEntity instance using the specified property map.

Parameters:

properties - A java.util.HashMap containing a map of String property names to EntityProperty data typed values to store in the new DynamicTableEntity.

DynamicTableEntity

public DynamicTableEntity(String partitionKey,
                          String rowKey,
                          HashMap<String,EntityProperty> properties)

Initializes a new instance of the DynamicTableEntity class with the specified partition key and row key.

Parameters:

partitionKey - A String which represents the partition key of the DynamicTableEntity to be initialized.

rowKey - A String which represents the row key of the DynamicTableEntity to be initialized.

properties - A java.util.HashMap containing a map of String property names to EntityProperty data typed values to store in the new DynamicTableEntity.

DynamicTableEntity

public DynamicTableEntity(String partitionKey,
                          String rowKey,
                          String etag,
                          HashMap<String,EntityProperty> properties)

Initializes a new instance of the DynamicTableEntity class with the specified partition key and row key.

Parameters:

partitionKey - A String which represents the partition key of the DynamicTableEntity to be initialized.

rowKey - A String which represents the row key of the DynamicTableEntity to be initialized.

etag - The ETag of the DynamicTableEntity to be initialized. This value is used to determine if the table entity has changed since it was last read from Microsoft Azure storage. The client cannot update this value on the service.

properties - A java.util.HashMap containing a map of String property names to EntityProperty data typed values to store in the new DynamicTableEntity.
