This section describes how to open and close the Java class
|
||
catalog. The class catalog is a specialized database store that
|
||
contains the Java class descriptions of the serialized objects that
|
||
are stored in the database. The class descriptions are stored in
|
||
the catalog rather than storing them redundantly in each database
|
||
record. A single class catalog per environment must be opened
|
||
whenever serialized objects will be stored in the database.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The <code class="classname">SampleDatabase</code> class is extended to open and close
|
||
the class catalog. The following additional imports and class
|
||
members are needed.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<a id="cb_java_sampledatabase1"></a>
|
||
<pre class="programlisting"><strong class="userinput"><code>import com.sleepycat.bind.serial.StoredClassCatalog;
|
||
import com.sleepycat.bind.serial.ClassCatalog;
|
||
import com.sleepycat.db.Database;
|
||
import com.sleepycat.db.DatabaseConfig;
|
||
import com.sleepycat.db.DatabaseType;</code></strong>
|
||
import com.sleepycat.db.DatabaseException;
|
||
import com.sleepycat.db.Environment;
|
||
import com.sleepycat.db.EnvironmentConfig;
|
||
import java.io.File;
|
||
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
|
||
|
||
...
|
||
|
||
public class SampleDatabase
|
||
{
|
||
private Environment env;
|
||
<strong class="userinput"><code> private static final String CLASS_CATALOG = "java_class_catalog";</code></strong>
|
||
...
|
||
<strong class="userinput"><code> private StoredClassCatalog javaCatalog;</code></strong>
|
||
...
|
||
} </pre>
|
||
<p>
|
||
While the class catalog is itself a database, it contains
|
||
metadata for other databases and is therefore treated specially by
|
||
the DB Java Collections API. The
|
||
<a class="ulink" href="../../java/com/sleepycat/bind/serial/StoredClassCatalog.html" target="_top">StoredClassCatalog</a>
|
||
|
||
class encapsulates the catalog store and implements this special
|
||
behavior.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The following statements open the class catalog by creating a
|
||
<code class="classname">Database</code> and a <code class="classname">StoredClassCatalog</code> object. The catalog
|
||
database is created if it does not already exist.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<a id="cb_java_sampledatabase2"></a>
|
||
<pre class="programlisting"> public SampleDatabase(String homeDirectory)
|
||
throws DatabaseException, FileNotFoundException
|
||
{
|
||
...
|
||
<strong class="userinput"><code> DatabaseConfig dbConfig = new DatabaseConfig();
|
||
dbConfig.setTransactional(true);
|
||
dbConfig.setAllowCreate(true);
|
||
dbConfig.setType(DatabaseType.BTREE);
|
||
|
||
Database catalogDb = env.openDatabase(null, CLASS_CATALOG, null,
|
||
dbConfig);
|
||
|
||
javaCatalog = new StoredClassCatalog(catalogDb);</code></strong>
|
||
...
|
||
}
|
||
...
|

<strong class="userinput"><code> public final StoredClassCatalog getClassCatalog() {
|

return javaCatalog;
|
||
}</code></strong> </pre>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The
|
||
|
||
<a class="ulink" href="../../java/com/sleepycat/db/DatabaseConfig.html" target="_top">DatabaseConfig</a>
|
||
|
||
class is used to specify configuration parameters when opening a
|
||
database. The first configuration option specified —
|
||
<code class="methodname">setTransactional()</code> — is set to true to create a transactional
|
||
database. While non-transactional databases can also be created,
|
||
the examples in this tutorial use transactional databases.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<code class="methodname">setAllowCreate()</code> is set to true to specify
|
||
that the database will be created if it does not already exist. If
|
||
this parameter is not specified, an exception will be thrown if the
|
||
database does not already exist.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
<code class="methodname">setDatabaseType()</code> identifies the database storage
|
||
type or access method. For opening a catalog database, the
|
||
<code class="literal">BTREE</code> type is required. <code class="literal">BTREE</code> is the
|
||
most commonly used database type and in this tutorial is used for all
|
||
databases.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The first parameter of the <code class="methodname">openDatabase()</code> method is an
|
||
optional transaction that is used for creating a new database. If
|
||
null is passed, auto-commit is used when creating a database.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The second and third parameters of <code class="methodname">openDatabase()</code>
|
||
specify the filename and database (sub-file) name of the database. The
|
||
database name is optional and is <code class="literal">null</code> in this example.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The last parameter of <code class="methodname">openDatabase()</code> specifies the database
|
||
configuration object.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Lastly, the <code class="classname">StoredClassCatalog</code> object is created to manage the
|
||
information in the class catalog database. The
|
||
<code class="classname">StoredClassCatalog</code> object will be used in the sections
|
||
following for creating serial bindings.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The <code class="methodname">getClassCatalog</code> method returns the catalog object for
|
||
use by other classes in the example program.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
When the environment is closed, the class catalog is closed
|
||
also.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<a id="cb_close1"></a>
|
||
<pre class="programlisting"> public void close()
|
||
throws DatabaseException
|
||
{
|
||
<strong class="userinput"><code> javaCatalog.close();</code></strong>
|
||
env.close();
|
||
} </pre>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The <code class="methodname">StoredClassCatalog.close()</code> method simply closes the
|
||
underlying class catalog database and in fact the
|
||
|
||
<a class="ulink" href="../../java/com/sleepycat/db/Database.html#close()" target="_top">Database.close()</a>
|
||
|
||
method may be called instead, if desired. It is recommended that you close the catalog database and
|
||
all other databases, before closing the
|
||
environment.
