Although the C++ binding is more complete than the Java binding - essentially according to the administrative operations - the Java bindings allow to manipulate data without limitations.
Using the Java binding is very similar to the C++ binding. Writing a Java program that can create, retrieve, modify and delete person instances that are stored in an EyeDB database involves the following steps:
generates the specific Person binding using the eyedbodl tool
write the Java client program
compile the generated binding and the client program
This example is located in the examples/GettingStarted subdirectory.
The Java code is generated from the ODL schema definition using the following command:
% eyedbodl --gencode=Java --package=person person.odl
The --package option is mandatory: this name will be used as the name of the Java package to which all generated Java classes will belong.
This command will generate a number of Java file in subdirectory person/, each generated file containing a Java class having the same name.
If you have a look to the files in sub-directory person, you will notice that the following classes have been generated:
the class Address
the class Database
the class Employee
the class Person
the class set\_class\_Person\_ref
