static eZProductCategory::definition ( ) [static]

Returns:: the definition for the object, the default implementation is to return an empty array. It's upto each inheriting class to return a proper definition array.

The definition array is an associative array consists of these keys:

fields - an associative array of fields which defines which database field (the key) is to fetched and how they map to object member variables (the value).
keys - an array of fields which is used for uniquely identifying the object in the table.
function_attributes - an associative array of attributes which maps to member functions, used for fetching data with functions.
set_functions - an associative array of attributes which maps to member functions, used for setting data with functions.
increment_key - the field which is incremented on table inserts.
class_name - the classname which is used for instantiating new objecs when fetching from the database.
sort - an associative array which defines the default sorting of lists, the key is the table field while the value is the sorting method which is either asc or desc.
name - the name of the database table

Example:

static function definition()
{
    return array( "fields" => array( "id" => "ID",
                                     "version" => "Version",
                                     "name" => "Name" ),
                  "keys" => array( "id", "version" ),
                  "function_attributes" => array( "current" => "currentVersion",
                                                  "class_name" => "className" ),
                  "increment_key" => "id",
                  "class_name" => "eZContentClass",
                  "sort" => array( "id" => "asc" ),
                  "name" => "ezcontentclass" );
