importData(byte[ ] [ ])

Format

public void importData(byte[ ] [ ] ctx)

Description

Imports data from an external source into the database BLOB specified by the localData attribute. The external data source is specified by the srcType, srcLocation, and srcName attributes. After importing the image data, by default, this method automatically calls the setProperties( ) method in the database to set the property attributes. If you are importing a foreign image whose format is not understood by interMedia, call the setFormat(String) method to set the fileFormat to a String beginning with "other" to disable the automatic call to the setProperties( ) method.

Parameters

ctx

The source plug-in context information.

Return Value

None.

Exceptions

java.sql.SQLException

This exception is thrown if an error occurs executing the corresponding import( ) method or the setProperties( ) method in the database.

Examples
