## javax.sql.rowset.serial
Class SQLInputImpl

    java.lang.Object
      javax.sql.rowset.serial.SQLInputImpl

All Implemented Interfaces:
  SQLInput

    public class SQLInputImpl

extends Object
implements SQLInput

An input stream used for custom mapping user-defined types (UDTs). An `SQLInputImpl` object is an input stream that contains a stream of values that are the attributes of a UDT.

This class is used by the driver behind the scenes when the method `getObject` is called on an SQL structured or distinct type that has a custom mapping; a programmer never invokes `SQLInputImpl` methods directly. They are provided here as a convenience for those who write `RowSet` implementations.

The `SQLInputImpl` class provides a set of reader methods analogous to the `ResultSet` getter methods. These methods make it possible to read the values in an `SQLInputImpl` object.

The method `wasNull` is used to determine whether the the last value read was SQL `NULL`.

When the method `getObject` is called with an object of a class implementing the interface `SQLData`, the JDBC driver calls the method `SQLData.getSQLType` to determine the SQL type of the UDT being custom mapped. The driver creates an instance of `SQLInputImpl`, populating it with the attributes of the UDT. The driver then passes the input stream to the method `SQLData.readSQL`, which in turn calls the `SQLInputImpl` reader methods to read the attributes from the input stream.

### readObject

    public Object readObject()
                      throws SQLException

  Retrieves the value at the head of this `SQLInputImpl` object as an `Object` in the Java programming language. The actual type of the object returned is determined by the default mapping of SQL types to types in the Java programming language unless there is a custom mapping, in which case the type of the object returned is determined by this stream's type map.

  The JDBC technology-enabled driver registers a type map with the stream before passing the stream to the application.

  When the datum at the head of the stream is an SQL `NULL`, this method returns `null`. If the datum is an SQL structured or distinct type with a custom mapping, this method determines the SQL type of the datum at the head of the stream, constructs an object of the appropriate class, and calls the method `SQLData.readSQL` on that object. The `readSQL` method then calls the appropriate `SQLInputImpl.readXXX` methods to retrieve the attribute values from the stream.

  Specified by:
    `readObject` in interface `SQLInput`
  Returns:
    the value at the head of the stream as an `Object` in the Java programming language; `null` if the value is SQL `NULL`
