excludeSelected

boolean excludeSelected(db_field x)
                        throws java.rmi.RemoteException

This method returns true if this invid field should not show any choices that are currently selected in field x, where x is another field in this db_object.

Throws:

java.rmi.RemoteException

choices

QueryResult choices()
                    throws java.rmi.RemoteException

Returns a QueryResult encoding a list of valid string choices for this field. Consult canChoose() and mustChoose() to determine how the results of this method should be treated.

Throws:

java.rmi.RemoteException

choicesKey

java.lang.Object choicesKey()
                            throws java.rmi.RemoteException

This method returns a key that can be used by the client to cache the value returned by choices(). If the client already has the key cached on the client side, it can provide the choice list from its cache rather than calling choices() on this object again.

Throws:

java.rmi.RemoteException
