long	getTimeStamp() Returns for this dataset a unique time stamp across all data sets in the application.

Method Detail

getTimeStamp

long getTimeStamp()

Returns for this dataset a unique time stamp across all data sets in the application.

When the content of this data set changes, the time stamp must increase. The time stamp allows extractors to identify this data set and to be aware of any changes to it.

Note: MxTimeStamp can be used to generate a valid time stamp.

Returns:

a time stamp value

getName

java.lang.String getName()

Returns the name of this data set.

Returns:

the name of this data set

getBinding

DataBinding getBinding()

Returns the data binding of this dataset.

Returns:

the data binding value: DataBinding.PER_CELL or DataBinding.PER_NODE
