Interface CascadingSource

All Known Implementing Classes:

CascadingValueProvider, FieldValueProvider, QueryValueProvider

public interface CascadingSource

An implementation of this interface can be used as a parent source for a cascading prompt (see CascadingValueProvider). A cascading prompt needs a parent prompt field, but also needs to know the referencing name to use in the SQL query generated to request the default values. Implementations of this interface, e.g. FieldValueProvider and QueryValueProvider provide this, thereby linking the given value of the parent prompt field to a reference name for the SQL Query.
