    <p>I was working in a problem and I found that Java references are not working as I expect it to. Ofcourse, I am the culprit :), can someone please me why the following happens. Let me first post the code here.</p> <pre><code>package misc.matrix; public class ReferenceTester { public static void main(String args[]){ Boolean[][] input = { {true ,false ,true ,true ,false }, {false ,true ,true ,true ,true }, {true ,true ,true ,true ,true }, {true ,true ,true ,true ,true }, {true ,false ,true ,true ,true } }; print(input); for(Boolean[] eachRow:input){ for(Boolean eachVal:eachRow){ eachVal = Boolean.TRUE; } } print(input); /*Expected output true true true true true true true true true true true true true true true true true true true true true true true true true */ } /** * Simply prints the array */ private static void print(Boolean[][] input) { for(Boolean[] outArray:input){ for(Boolean iVal:outArray){ System.out.print(iVal?iVal+" ":iVal+" "); } System.out.println(); } } } </code></pre> <p>If you take a look at the above program, all I am trying to do is to change all the values in the Array to true and print it. But its simply prints the input again. Can someone please tell me why is this. Initially I had used the primitive boolean in the program, but since I dont want to create copies, I used the wrapper Boolean Class which is a Java OBJECT as opposed to primitives. (Isnt eachVal a JAVA OBJECT!?!?!?!?) Why is this happening in Java. Why did it not print all the values to be true?</p> <p>Please advise.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
