Retrieve the contents of a Record object by having your Java™ program either get one field at a time or get all the fields at once.
Use the getField() method to retrieve a single field by name or by index. Use the getFields() method to retrieve all of the fields as an Object[].
The Java program must cast the Object (or element of the Object[]) returned to the appropriate Java object for the retrieved field. The following table shows the appropriate Java object to cast based on the field type.
