In summary, the DB Java Collections API tutorial has
|
||
demonstrated how to create different types of bindings, as well as
|
||
how to use the basic facilities of the DB Java Collections API:
|
||
the environment, databases, secondary indices, collections, and
|
||
transactions. The final approach illustrated by the last example
|
||
program, Serializable Entity, uses tuple keys and serial entity
|
||
values. Hopefully it is clear that any type of object-to-data
|
||
binding may be implemented by an application and used along with
|
||
standard Java collections.

examples in the tutorial.

Having completed this tutorial, you may want to explore how other types of
|
||
bindings can be implemented. The bindings shown in this tutorial
|
||
are all <span class="emphasis"><em>external bindings</em></span>, meaning that the data classes
|
||
themselves contain none of the binding implementation. It is also
|
||
possible to implement <span class="emphasis"><em>internal bindings</em></span>, where the data
|
||
classes implement the binding.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Internal bindings are called <span class="emphasis"><em>marshalled bindings</em></span> in the
|
||
DB Java Collections API, and in this model each data class
|
||
implements a marshalling interface. A single external binding class
|
||
that understands the marshalling interface is used to call the
|
||
internal bindings of each data object, and therefore the overall
|
||
model and API is unchanged. To learn about marshalled bindings, see
|
||
the
|
||
|
||
|
||
<span class="pdf;html">
|
||
<code class="literal">marshal</code> and <code class="literal">factory</code> examples that
|
||
came with your DB distribution (you can find them in
|
||
|
||
<code class="filename"><INSTALL_DIR>/examples_java/src/com/sleepycat/examples/collections/ship</code>
|
||
where <code class="literal"><INSTALL_DIR></code> is the location where you
|
||
unpacked your DB distribution).
|
||
</span>
|
||
|
||
These examples continue building on
|
||
the example programs used in the tutorial. The Marshal program is
|
||
the next program following the Serializable Entity program, and the
|
||
Factory program follows the Marshal program. The source code
|
||
comments in these examples explain their differences.
