<span class="emphasis"><em>Entity bindings</em></span> are similar to ordinary bindings in that
|
||
they convert between Java objects and the stored data format of
|
||
keys and values. In addition, entity bindings map between key/value
|
||
pairs and entity objects. An ordinary binding is a one-to-one
|
||
mapping, while an entity binding is a two-to-one mapping.

The <code class="literal">partDataBinding</code>, <code class="literal">supplierDataBinding</code> and

<code class="literal">shipmentDataBinding</code> bindings are created below as entity

bindings rather than (in the prior examples) serial bindings.

|

In general, an entity binding is any class that implements the
|
||
<a class="ulink" href="../../java/com/sleepycat/bind/EntityBinding.html" target="_top">EntityBinding</a>
|
||
|
||
interface, just as an ordinary binding is any class that implements
|
||
the
|
||
<a class="ulink" href="../../java/com/sleepycat/bind/EntryBinding.html" target="_top">EntryBinding</a>
|
||
|
||
interface. In the prior examples the built-in
|
||
<a class="ulink" href="../../java/com/sleepycat/bind/serial/SerialBinding.html" target="_top">SerialBinding</a>
|
||
|
||
class (which implements
|
||
<a class="ulink" href="../../java/com/sleepycat/bind/EntryBinding.html" target="_top">EntryBinding</a>)
|
||
was used and no application-defined binding classes were needed.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
In this example, application-defined binding classes are used
|
||
that extend the
|
||
<a class="ulink" href="../../java/com/sleepycat/bind/serial/SerialSerialBinding.html" target="_top">SerialSerialBinding</a>
|
||
|
||
abstract base class. This base class implements
|
||
<a class="ulink" href="../../java/com/sleepycat/bind/EntityBinding.html" target="_top">EntityBinding</a>
|
||
|
||
and provides the conversions between key/value bytes and key/value
|
||
objects, just as the
|
||
<a class="ulink" href="../../java/com/sleepycat/bind/serial/SerialBinding.html" target="_top">SerialBinding</a>
|
||
|
||
class does. The application-defined entity class implements the
|
||
abstract methods defined in the base class that map between
|
||
key/value objects and entity objects.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Three abstract methods are implemented for each entity binding.
|
||
The <code class="methodname">entryToObject()</code> method takes as input the key and data
|
||
objects, which have been deserialized automatically by the base
|
||
class. As output, it returns the combined <code class="classname">Part</code> entity.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The <code class="methodname">objectToKey()</code> and <code class="methodname">objectToData()</code> methods take an
|
||
entity object as input. As output they return the part key or data
|
||
object that is extracted from the entity object. The key or data
|
||
will then be serialized automatically by the base class.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The <code class="classname">SupplierBinding</code> and <code class="classname">ShipmentBinding</code> classes
|
||
are very similar to the <code class="classname">PartBinding</code> class.
