Stored map objects are created in this example in the same way
|
|||
|
as in prior examples, but using entity bindings in place of value
|
|||
|
bindings. All value objects passed and returned to the Java
|
|||
|
collections API are then actually entity objects (<code class="classname">Part</code>,
|
|||
|
<code class="classname">Supplier</code> and <code class="classname">Shipment</code>). The application no longer
|
|||
|
deals directly with plain value objects (<code class="classname">PartData</code>,
|
|||
|
<code class="classname">SupplierData</code> and <code class="classname">ShipmentData</code>).
|
|||
|
</p>
|
|||
|
<p>
|
|||
|
Since the <code class="literal">partValueBinding</code>, <code class="literal">supplierValueBinding</code>
|
|||
|
and <code class="literal">shipmentValueBinding</code> were defined as entity bindings in
|
|||
|
the prior section, there are no source code changes necessary for
|
|||
|
creating the stored map objects.

<a class="ulink" href="../../java/com/sleepycat/collections/StoredMap.html" target="_top">StoredMap</a>

|

binding may be used anywhere that a value binding is used.

<p>
|

|
The following getter methods are defined for use by other
|
|||
|
classes in the example program. Instead of returning the map's
|
|||
|
entry set
|
|||
|
(<a class="ulink" href="http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Map.html#entrySet()" target="_top">Map.entrySet</a>),
|
|||
|
the map's value set
|
|||
|
(<a class="ulink" href="http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Map.html#values()" target="_top">Map.values</a>)
|
|||
|
is returned. The entry set was convenient in prior examples because
|
|||
|
it allowed enumerating all key/value pairs in the collection. Since
|
|||
|
an entity contains the key and the value, enumerating the value set
|
|||
|
can now be used more conveniently for the same purpose.
