setFormat(String)

Format

public void setFormat(String format)

Description

Sets the value of the format attribute.

The format attribute determines which format plug-in is used to handle calls to methods that operate on the media data. In particular, the setProperties( ) method uses the format attribute to determine which format plug-in to call to parse the media data properties. See the setProperties( ) method for more information on how to initialize the format attribute before calling the setProperties( ) method, and for information on how the setProperties( ) method in the default, Oracle-supplied plug-in, sets the value of the format attribute. Calling this method sets only the attribute value; it does not modify the media data itself.

Parameters

format

The new attribute value.

Return Value

None.

Exceptions

java.sql.SQLException

This exception is thrown if an error occurs accessing the format attribute.

Examples
