/**
 * Standard interfaces and base classes for JDBC {@code RowSet}
 * implementations. This package contains interfaces and classes
 * that a standard {@code RowSet} implementation either implements or extends.

 *
 * <h3><a id="pkgspec">1.0 Package Specification</a></h3>
 * This package specifies five standard JDBC {@code RowSet} interfaces.
 * All five extend the
 * {@link java.sql/javax.sql.RowSet} interface described in the JDBC 3.0
 * specification.  It is anticipated that additional definitions
 * of more specialized JDBC {@code RowSet} types will emerge as this technology
 * matures. Future definitions <i>should</i> be specified as subinterfaces using
 * inheritance similar to the way it is used in this specification.
 * <p>
 * <i>Note:</i> The interface definitions provided in this package form the basis for
 * all compliant JDBC {@code RowSet} implementations. Vendors and more advanced
 * developers who intend to provide their own compliant {@code RowSet} implementations
 * should pay particular attention to the assertions detailed in specification
 * interfaces.
 *
 * <h3><a id="stdrowset">2.0 Standard RowSet Definitions</a></h3>
 * <ul>
 * <li><a href="JdbcRowSet.html"><b>{@code JdbcRowSet}</b></a> - A wrapper around
 * a {@code ResultSet} object that makes it possible to use the result set as a
 * JavaBeans component. Thus,
 * a {@code JdbcRowSet} object can be a Bean that any tool
 * makes available for assembling an application as part of a component based
 * architecture. A {@code JdbcRowSet} object is a connected {@code RowSet}
 * object, that is, it
 * <b>must</b> continually maintain its connection to its data source using a JDBC
 * technology-enabled driver ("JDBC driver"). In addition, a {@code JdbcRowSet}
 * object provides a fully updatable and scrollable tabular
 * data structure as defined in the JDBC 3.0 specification.
 *
 * <li><a href="CachedRowSet.html">
 * <b>{@code CachedRowSet}</b></a>
 *  - A {@code CachedRowSet} object is a JavaBeans
 * component that is scrollable, updatable, serializable, and generally disconnected from
 * the source of its data. A {@code CachedRowSet} object
 * typically contains rows from a result set, but it can also contain rows from any
 * file with a tabular format, such as a spreadsheet. {@code CachedRowSet} implementations
 * <b>must</b> use the {@code SyncFactory} to manage and obtain pluggable
 * {@code SyncProvider} objects to provide synchronization between the
 * disconnected {@code RowSet} object and the originating data source.
 * Typically a {@code SyncProvider} implementation relies upon a JDBC
 * driver to obtain connectivity to a particular data source.
 * Further details on this mechanism are discussed in the <a
 * href="spi/package-summary.html">{@code javax.sql.rowset.spi}</a> package
 * specification.
 *
 * <li><a href="WebRowSet.html"><b>{@code WebRowSet}</b></a> - A
 * {@code WebRowSet} object is an extension of {@code CachedRowSet}
 * that can read and write a {@code RowSet} object in a well formed XML format.
 * This class calls an <a href="spi/XmlReader.html">{@code XmlReader}</a> object
 * (an extension of the {@link java.sql/javax.sql.RowSetReader RowSetReader}
 * interface) to read a rowset in XML format. It calls an
 * <a href="spi/XmlWriter.html">{@code XmlWriter}</a> object (an extension of the
 * {@link java.sql/javax.sql.RowSetWriter RowSetWriter} interface)
 * to write a rowset in XML format. The reader and writer required by
 * {@code WebRowSet} objects are provided by the
 * {@code SyncFactory} in the form of {@code SyncProvider}
 * implementations. In order to ensure well formed XML usage, a standard generic XML
 * Schema is defined and published at
 * <a href="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns//jdbc/webrowset.xsd">
 * {@code http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns//jdbc/webrowset.xsd}</a>.
 *
 * <li><a href="FilteredRowSet.html"><b>{@code FilteredRowSet}</b></a> - A
 * {@code FilteredRowSet} object provides filtering functionality in a programmatic
 * and extensible way. There are many instances when a {@code RowSet} {@code object}
 * has a need to provide filtering in its contents without sacrificing the disconnected
 * environment, thus saving the expense of having to create a connection to the data source.
 * Solutions to this need vary from providing heavyweight full scale
 * SQL query abilities, to portable components, to more lightweight
 * approaches. A {@code FilteredRowSet} object consumes
 * an implementation of the {@link Predicate}
 * interface, which <b>may</b> define a filter at run time. In turn, a
 * {@code FilteredRowSet} object is tasked with enforcing the set filter for both
 * inbound and outbound read and write operations. That is, all filters can be
 * considered as bi-directional. No standard filters are defined;
 * however, sufficient mechanics are specified to permit any required filter to be
 * implemented.
 *
 * <li><a href="JoinRowSet.html"><b>{@code JoinRowSet}</b></a> - The {@code JoinRowSet}
 * interface  describes a mechanism by which relationships can be established between
 * two or more standard {@code RowSet} implementations. Any number of {@code RowSet}
 * objects can be added to a {@code JoinRowSet} object provided  the {@code RowSet}objects
 * can be related  in a SQL {@code JOIN} like fashion. By definition, the SQL {@code JOIN}
 * statement  is used to combine the data contained in two (<i>or more</i>) relational
 * database tables based upon a common attribute. By establishing and then enforcing
 * column matches, a {@code JoinRowSet} object establishes relationships between
 * {@code RowSet} instances without the need to touch the originating data source.
 * </ul>
 *
 * <h3><a id="impl">3.0 Implementer's Guide</a></h3>
 * Compliant implementations of JDBC {@code RowSet} Implementations
 * <b>must</b> follow the assertions described in this specification. In accordance
 * with the terms of the <a href="http://www.jcp.org">Java Community Process</a>, a
 * Test Compatibility Kit (TCK) can be licensed to ensure compatibility with the
 * specification. The following paragraphs outline a number of starting points for
 * implementers of the standard JDBC {@code RowSet} definitions. Implementers
 * should also consult the <i>Implementer's Guide</i> in the <a
 * href="spi/package-summary.html">javax.sql.rowset.spi</a> package for guidelines
 * on <a href="spi/SyncProvider.html">{@code SyncProvider}</a> implementations.
 *
 * <ul>
 * <li><b>3.1 Constructor</b>
 * <p>
 *   All {@code RowSet} implementations <strong>must</strong> provide a
 * no-argument constructor.
 * </li>
 * <li><b>3.2 Role of the {@code BaseRowSet} Class</b>
 * <p>
 * A compliant JDBC {@code RowSet} implementation <b>must</b> implement one or more
 * standard interfaces specified in this package and <b>may</b> extend the
 * {@link BaseRowSet} abstract class. For example, a
 * {@code CachedRowSet} implementation must implement the {@code CachedRowSet}
 * interface and extend the {@code BaseRowSet} abstract class. The
 * {@code BaseRowSet} class provides the standard architecture on which all
 * {@code RowSet} implementations should be built, regardless of whether the
 * {@code RowSet} objects exist in a connected or disconnected environment.
 * The {@code BaseRowSet} abstract class provides any {@code RowSet} implementation
 * with its base functionality, including property manipulation and event notification
 * that is fully compliant with
 * <a href="https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/documentation/spec-136004.html">JavaBeans</a>
 * component requirements. As an example, all implementations provided in the
 * reference implementations (contained in the {@code com.sun.rowset} package) use
 * the {@code BaseRowSet} class as a basis for their implementations.
 * <P>
 * The following table illustrates the features that the {@code BaseRowSet}
 * abstract class provides.
 * <blockquote>
 *   <table class="striped" style="vertical-align:top; width:75%">
 *     <caption>Features in {@code BaseRowSet}</caption>
 *         <thead>
 *           <tr>
 *             <th scope="col">Feature</th>
 *             <th scope="col">Details</th>
 *           </tr>
 *         </thead>
 *         <tbody>
 *           <tr>
 *             <th scope="row">Properties</th>
 *             <td>Provides standard JavaBeans property manipulation
 * mechanisms to allow applications to get and set {@code RowSet} command and
 * property  values. Refer to the   documentation of the {@code javax.sql.RowSet}
 * interface  (available in the JDBC 3.0 specification) for more details on
 * the standard  {@code RowSet} properties.</td>
 *           </tr>
 *           <tr>
 *             <th scope="row">Event notification</th>
 *             <td>Provides standard JavaBeans event notifications
 * to registered event listeners. Refer to the documentation of {@code javax.sql.RowSetEvent}
 * interface (available in the JDBC 3.0 specification) for
 * more details on how  to register and handle standard RowSet events generated
 * by  compliant implementations.</td>
 *           </tr>
 *           <tr>
 *             <th scope="row">Setters for a RowSet object's command</th>
 *             <td>Provides a complete set of setter methods
 *                for setting RowSet command parameters.</td>
 *           </tr>
 *           <tr>
 *             <th scope="row">Streams</th>
 *             <td>Provides fields for storing of stream instances
 * in addition to providing a set of constants for stream type designation.</td>
 *           </tr>
 *     </tbody>
 *   </table>
 *   </blockquote>
 *
 * <li><b>3.3 Connected RowSet Requirements</b>
 * <p>
 * The {@code JdbcRowSet} describes a {@code RowSet} object that <b>must</b> always
 * be connected to the originating data source. Implementations of the {@code JdbcRowSet}
 * should ensure that this connection is provided solely by a JDBC driver.
 * Furthermore, {@code RowSet} objects that are implementations of the
 * {@code JdbcRowSet} interface and are therefore operating in a connected environment
 * do not use the {@code SyncFactory} to obtain a {@code RowSetReader} object
 * or a {@code RowSetWriter} object. They can safely rely on the JDBC driver to
 * supply their needs by virtue of the presence of an underlying updatable and scrollable
 * {@code ResultSet} implementation.
 *
 * <li>
 * <b>3.4 Disconnected RowSet Requirements</b>
 * <p>
 * A disconnected {@code RowSet} object, such as a {@code CachedRowSet} object,
 * <b>should</b> delegate
 * connection management to a {@code SyncProvider} object provided by the
 * {@code SyncFactory}. To ensure fully disconnected semantics, all
 * disconnected {@code RowSet} objects <b>must</b> ensure
 * that the original connection made to the data source to populate the {@code RowSet}
 * object is closed to permit the garbage collector to recover and release resources. The
 * {@code SyncProvider} object ensures that the critical JDBC properties are
 * maintained in order to re-establish a connection to the data source when a
 * synchronization is required. A disconnected {@code RowSet} object should
 * therefore ensure that no
 * extraneous references remain on the {@code Connection} object.
 *
 * <li><b>3.5 Role of RowSetMetaDataImpl</b>
 * <p>
 * The {@code RowsetMetaDataImpl} class is a utility class that provides an implementation of the
 * {@link java.sql/javax.sql.RowSetMetaData RowSetMetaData} interface, supplying standard setter
 * method implementations for metadata for both connected and disconnected
 * {@code RowSet} objects. All implementations are free to use this standard
 * implementation but are not required to do so.
 *
 * <li><b>3.6 RowSetWarning Class</b>
 * <p>
 * The {@code RowSetWarning} class provides warnings that can be set
 * on {@code RowSet} implementations.
 * Similar to {@link java.sql/java.sql.SQLWarning SQLWarning} objects,
 * {@code RowSetWarning}  objects are silently chained to the object whose method
 * caused the warning to be thrown. All {@code RowSet} implementations <b>should</b>
 * ensure that this chaining occurs if a warning is generated and also ensure that the
 * warnings are available via the {@code getRowSetWarnings} method defined in either
 * the {@code JdbcRowSet} interface or the {@code CachedRowSet} interface.
 * After a warning has been retrieved with one of the
 * {@code getRowSetWarnings} methods, the {@code RowSetWarning} method
 * {@code getNextWarning} can be called on it to retrieve any warnings that might
 * be chained on it.  If a warning is returned, {@code getNextWarning} can be called
 * on it, and so on until there are no more warnings.
 *
 * <li><b>3.7 The Joinable Interface</b>
 * <P>
 * The {@code Joinable} interface provides both connected and disconnected
 * {@code RowSet} objects with the capability to be added to a
 * {@code JoinRowSet} object in an SQL {@code JOIN} operation.
 * A {@code RowSet} object that has  implemented the {@code Joinable}
 * interface can set a match column, retrieve a match column, or unset a match column.
 * A {@code JoinRowSet} object can then use the {@code RowSet} object's
 * match column as a basis for adding the {@code RowSet} object.
 * </li>
 *
 * <li><b>3.8 The RowSetFactory Interface</b>
 *   <p>
 *       A {@code RowSetFactory} implementation <strong>must</strong>
 *       be provided.
 * </li>
 * </ul>
