[jdjlist] RE: Javadocs for sun.jdbc.rowset.CachedRowSet

[David Gallardo]

It's not necessarily true that you shouldn't use them. RowSets are meant to be implementation specific--they are essentially ResultSets extended for specific purposes determined by vendors. Sun's three rowset implementations are offered only as examples. Cached rowsets, for example, are useful for transferring data to small mobile devices; they allow, for example, modifying the data and resynching with the original database.

If you want to use a rowset, you should use an implementation (and documentation) provided by your jdbc/db vendor. Oracle 9i, for example, offers a JDBC RowSet, OracleJDBCRowSet, and a cached RowSet, OracleCachedRowSet.

I guess that would mean a good indication that you shouldn't be using it.  I
believe there is some documentation around that says you aren't suppose to
use any classes in the sun.* packages as they are liable to change and not
available on all JVM's.
