<p>

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 (<tt class="classname">Part</tt>,
|
||||
<tt class="classname">Supplier</tt> and <tt class="classname">Shipment</tt>). The application no longer
|
||||
deals directly with plain value objects (<tt class="classname">PartData</tt>,
|
||||
<tt class="classname">SupplierData</tt> and <tt class="classname">ShipmentData</tt>).
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Since the <tt class="literal">partValueBinding</tt>, <tt class="literal">supplierValueBinding</tt>
|
||||
and <tt class="literal">shipmentValueBinding</tt> were defined as entity bindings in
|
||||
the prior section, there are no source code changes necessary for
|
||||
creating the stored map objects.

Specifying an
|
||||
<a href="../../java/com/sleepycat/bind/EntityBinding.html" target="_top">EntityBinding</a>
|
||||
|
||||
will select a different
|
||||
<a href="../../java/com/sleepycat/collections/StoredMap.html" target="_top">StoredMap</a>
|
||||
|
||||
constructor, but the syntax is the same. In general, an entity
|
||||
binding may be used anywhere that a value binding is used.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<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 href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Map.html#entrySet" target="_top">Map.entrySet</a>),
|
||||
the map's value set
|
||||
(<a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/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.

Notice that the collection returned by the

<a href="../../java/com/sleepycat/collections/StoredMap.html#values()" target="_top">StoredMap.values</a>
|
||||
|
||||
method is actually a

<a href="../../java/com/sleepycat/collections/StoredValueSet.html" target="_top">StoredValueSet</a>
|

|

and not just a
|
||||
<a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Collection.html" target="_top">Collection</a>
|
||||
|

as defined by the

<a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Map.html#values" target="_top">Map.values</a>
|
||||
|
||||
interface. As long as duplicate keys are not allowed, this
|
||||
collection will behave as a true set and will disallow the addition
|
||||
of duplicates, etc.
