Class ComplexData

java.lang.Object
  org.openmrs.obs.ComplexData

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public class ComplexData
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable

ComplexObs is a transient Object that extends Obs but is not itself persisted in the database. It has a data Object and a title. Alternatively, it can have a byte array in the Object.

Most handlers should support this data Object being an InputStream, at least prior to saving the object.

On pulling data out, the format is per-handler defined and the page doing the viewing should know how to handle it.
