Class StaticMetaData

java.lang.Object
  edu.jhu.tmaj.beans.data.StaticMetaData

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public final class StaticMetaData
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable

Contains information about standard (non-dynamic) "Lookup" tables for an InputPanel. Lookup tables have only two columns, a primary key and a "name" key. For example, the BlockFixations table is a Lookup table for Blocks. The table BlockFixations has two columns: BlockFixationID and a BlockFixationName. The table Blocks has a column called BlockFixationID. If this class were being used for the Block InputPanel, the class would contain all the Lookup tables for table Blocks. Compare Standard Lookup tables used in this class to Dynamic Tables used in the DynamicMetaData class.
