The main program opens the environment and databases, stores and retrieves
|
||
objects within a transaction, and finally closes the environment
|
||
databases. This section describes the main program shell, and the
|
||
next section describes how to run transactions for storing and
|
||
retrieving objects.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The <tt class="classname">Sample</tt> class contains the main program. The skeleton
|
||
for the <tt class="classname">Sample</tt> class follows.

<p>
|

The main program uses the <tt class="classname">SampleDatabase</tt> and
|
||
<tt class="classname">SampleViews</tt> classes that were described in the preceding
|
||
sections. The <tt class="methodname">main</tt> method will create an instance of the
|
||
<tt class="classname">Sample</tt> class, and call its <tt class="methodname">run()</tt> and <tt class="methodname">close()</tt>
|
||
methods.
|
||
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The following statements parse the program's command line
|
||
arguments.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<a id="cb_main"></a>
|
||
<pre class="programlisting"> public static void main(String[] args)
|
||
{
|
||
<b class="userinput"><tt> System.out.println("\nRunning sample: " + Sample.class);
|
||
String homeDir = "./tmp";
|
||
for (int i = 0; i < args.length; i += 1)
|
||
{
|
||
String arg = args[i];
|
||
if (args[i].equals("-h") && i < args.length - 1)
|
||
{
|
||
i += 1;
|
||
homeDir = args[i];
|
||
}
|
||
else
|
||
{
|
||
System.err.println("Usage:\n java " +
|
||
Sample.class.getName() +
|
||
"\n [-h <home-directory>]");
|
||
System.exit(2);
|
||
}
|
||
}</tt></b>
|
||
...
|
||
} </pre>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The usage command is:
|
||
</p>
|
||
<pre class="programlisting"><b class="userinput"><tt>java com.sleepycat.examples.bdb.shipment.basic.Sample
|
||
[-h <home-directory> ]</tt></b> </pre>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The <tt class="literal">-h</tt> command is used to set the <tt class="filename">homeDir</tt>
|
||
variable, which will later be passed to the <tt class="methodname">SampleDatabase()</tt>
|
||
constructor. Normally all Berkeley DB programs should provide a way
|
||
to configure their database environment home directory.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The default for the home directory is <tt class="filename">./tmp</tt> — the tmp
|
||
subdirectory of the current directory where the sample is run. The
|
||
home directory must exist before running the sample. To re-create
|
||
the sample database from scratch, delete all files in the home
|
||
directory before running the sample.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The home directory was described previously in
|
||
<a href="opendbenvironment.html">
|
||
Opening and Closing the Database Environment
|
||
</a>.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Of course, the command line arguments shown are only examples
|
||
and a real-life application may use different techniques for
|
||
configuring these options.
|
||
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The following statements create an instance of the <tt class="classname">Sample</tt>
|
||
class and call its <tt class="methodname">run()</tt> and <tt class="methodname">close()</tt> methods.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<a id="cb_main2"></a>
|
||
<pre class="programlisting"> public static void main(String args)
|
||
{
|
||
...
|
||
<b class="userinput"><tt> Sample sample = null;
|
||
try
|
||
{
|
||
sample = new Sample(homeDir);
|
||
sample.run();
|

}
|

|

|

try

{

sample.close();
|

}
|

catch (Exception e)
|

{

System.err.println("Exception during database close:");

}
|

}</tt></b>
|
||
} </pre>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The <tt class="methodname">Sample()</tt> constructor will open the environment and
|
||
databases, and the <tt class="methodname">run()</tt> method will run transactions for
|
||
storing and retrieving objects. If either of these throws an
|
||
exception, then the program was unable to run and should normally
|
||
terminate. (Transaction retries are handled at a lower level and
|
||
will be described later.) The first <tt class="literal">catch</tt> statement handles
|
||
such exceptions.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The <tt class="literal">finally</tt> statement is used to call the <tt class="methodname">close()</tt>
|
||
method since an attempt should always be made to close the environment and
|
||
databases
|
||
cleanly. If an exception is thrown during close and a prior
|
||
exception occurred above, then the exception during close is likely
|
||
a side effect of the prior exception.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The <tt class="methodname">Sample()</tt> constructor creates the <tt class="literal">SampleDatabase</tt>
|
||
and <tt class="classname">SampleViews</tt> objects.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<a id="cb_sample"></a>
|
||
<pre class="programlisting"> private Sample(String homeDir)

|
||
views = new SampleViews(db);</tt></b>
|
||
} </pre>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Recall that creating the <tt class="classname">SampleDatabase</tt> object will open
|
||
the environment and all databases.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
To close the database the <tt class="methodname">Sample.close()</tt> method simply
|
||
calls <tt class="methodname">SampleDatabase.close()</tt>.
|
||
</p>
|

<a id="cb_sample-close"></a>
|

<pre class="programlisting"> private void close()
