/**
* The standard interface that all standard implementations of
* <code>JdbcRowSet</code> must implement.
*
* <h3>1.0 Overview</h3>
* A wrapper around a <code>ResultSet</code> object that makes it possible
* to use the result set as a JavaBeans<sup><font size=-2>TM</font></sup>
* component. Thus, a <code>JdbcRowSet</code> object can be one of the Beans that
* a tool makes available for composing an application. Because
* a <code>JdbcRowSet</code> is a connected rowset, that is, it continually
* maintains its connection to a database using a JDBC technology-enabled
* driver, it also effectively makes the driver a JavaBeans component.
* <P>
* Because it is always connected to its database, an instance of
* <code>JdbcRowSet</code>
* can simply take calls invoked on it and in turn call them on its
* <code>ResultSet</code> object. As a consequence, a result set can, for
* example, be a component in a Swing application.
* <P>
* Another advantage of a <code>JdbcRowSet</code> object is that it can be
* used to make a <code>ResultSet</code> object scrollable and updatable. All
* <code>RowSet</code> objects are by default scrollable and updatable. If
* the driver and database being used do not support scrolling and/or updating
* of result sets, an application can populate a <code>JdbcRowSet</code> object
* with the data of a <code>ResultSet</code> object and then operate on the
* <code>JdbcRowSet</code> object as if it were the <code>ResultSet</code>
* object.
* <P>
* <h3>2.0 Creating a <code>JdbcRowSet</code> Object</h3>
* The reference implementation of the <code>JdbcRowSet</code> interface,
* <code>JdbcRowSetImpl</code>, provides an implementation of
* the default constructor. A new instance is initialized with
* default values, which can be set with new values as needed. A
* new instance is not really functional until its <code>execute</code>
* method is called. In general, this method does the following:
* <UL>
* <LI> establishes a connection with a database
* <LI> creates a <code>PreparedStatement</code> object and sets any of its
* placeholder parameters
* <LI> executes the statement to create a <code>ResultSet</code> object
* </UL>
* If the <code>execute</code> method is successful, it will set the
* appropriate private <code>JdbcRowSet</code> fields with the following:
* <UL>
* <LI> a <code>Connection</code> object -- the connection between the rowset
* and the database
* <LI> a <code>PreparedStatement</code> object -- the query that produces
* the result set
* <LI> a <code>ResultSet</code> object -- the result set that the rowset's
* command produced and that is being made, in effect, a JavaBeans
* component
* </UL>
* If these fields have not been set, meaning that the <code>execute</code>
* method has not executed successfully, no methods other than
* <code>execute</code> and <code>close</code> may be called on the
* rowset. All other public methods will throw an exception.
* <P>
* Before calling the <code>execute</code> method, however, the command
* and properties needed for establishing a connection must be set.
* The following code fragment creates a <code>JdbcRowSetImpl</code> object,
* sets the command and connection properties, sets the placeholder parameter,
* and then invokes the method <code>execute</code>.
* <PRE>
* JdbcRowSetImpl jrs = new JdbcRowSetImpl();
* jrs.setCommand("SELECT * FROM TITLES WHERE TYPE = ?");
* jrs.setURL("jdbc:myDriver:myAttribute");
* jrs.setUsername("cervantes");
* jrs.setPassword("sancho");
* jrs.setString(1, "BIOGRAPHY");
* jrs.execute();
* </PRE>
* The variable <code>jrs</code> now represents an instance of
* <code>JdbcRowSetImpl</code> that is a thin wrapper around the
* <code>ResultSet</code> object containing all the rows in the
* table <code>TITLES</code> where the type of book is biography.
* At this point, operations called on <code>jrs</code> will
* affect the rows in the result set, which is effectively a JavaBeans
* component.
* <P>
* The implementation of the <code>RowSet</code> method <code>execute</code> in the
* <code>JdbcRowSet</code> reference implementation differs from that in the
* <code>CachedRowSet</code><sup><font size=-2>TM</font></sup>
* reference implementation to account for the different
* requirements of connected and disconnected <code>RowSet</code> objects.
* <p>
