                                      int[] bidiStringTypes)

establishConnection

protected void establishConnection()
                            throws ResourceException

Deprecated.

freezeProperties

protected void freezeProperties()
                         throws ResourceException

The method is called by the resource framework automatically when the properties need to be frozen.

Overrides:

freezeProperties in class Resource

Throws:

ResourceException - If an error occurs.
