RE: [INTERFACES] JDBC: What is 'String type' in Serialize()-const ructor?

It's been a while since I've been in the Seialize class, but the type
field is the postgresql table name that contains the object.

The constructor converts this into a class name, and tries to load the
class. 

Note: It converts table names to class names by switching _ with .
ie, one of my classes would map like this:
Class                Tableuk.org.retep.pdf.PDF    uk_org_retep_pdf_pdf

Subject: [INTERFACES] JDBC: What is 'String type' in
Serialize()-constructor?


Hi, 

the subject says it all. 
I could not find a documentation for the parameters of the constructor
of the class postgres.util.Serialize(Connection c, String type).
Connection c is clear to me but what is 'String type' about?
I looked at Peter T. Mounts documentation which documents every method
in that class with parameter description, except the constructor :-)

Any help appreciated.

Cheers, 

Christoph
