                    You retrieve objects placed in an entity store by using
                    either the object's primary index, or the appropriate
                    secondary index if it exists. The following application
                    illustrates this by retrieving some of the objects that
                    we placed in an entity store in the previous section.
            </p>
      <p>
                To begin, we import the Java classes that our example
                needs. We also instantiate the private data members that we
                require.
           </p>
      <pre class="programlisting">package persist.gettingStarted;

import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;

import com.sleepycat.db.DatabaseException;
import com.sleepycat.db.Environment;
import com.sleepycat.db.EnvironmentConfig;

import com.sleepycat.persist.EntityStore;
import com.sleepycat.persist.StoreConfig;

public class SimpleStoreGet {

private static File envHome = new File("./JEDB");

private Environment envmnt;
    private EntityStore store;
    private SimpleDA sda; </pre>
      <p>
            Next we create a method that simply opens our database
            environment and entity store for us. 
    </p>
      <pre class="programlisting">   // The setup() method opens the environment and store
    // for us.
    public void setup()
        throws DatabaseException {

EnvironmentConfig envConfig = new EnvironmentConfig();
        StoreConfig storeConfig = new StoreConfig();

envConfig.setAllowCreate(true);
        storeConfig.setAllowCreate(true);

try {
            // Open the environment and entity store
            envmnt = new Environment(envHome, envConfig);
            store = new EntityStore(envmnt, "EntityStore", storeConfig);
        } catch (FileNotFoundException fnfe) {
            System.err.println("setup(): " + fnfe.toString());
            System.exit(-1);
        }
    } </pre>
      <p>
            We also need a method to close our environment and store.
    </p>
      <pre class="programlisting">    // Close our environment and store.
    public void shutdown()
        throws DatabaseException {

store.close();
        envmnt.close();
    } </pre>
      <p>
            Now we retrieve a few objects. To do this, we instantiate a
            <tt class="classname">SimpleDA</tt> (see <a href="simpleda.html">SimpleDA.class</a>) class that we use to access
            our primary and secondary indexes. Then we retrieve objects
            based on a primary or secondary index value. And finally, we
            display the retrieved objects.
     </p>
      <pre class="programlisting">    // Retrieve some SimpleEntityClass objects from the store.
    private void run()
        throws DatabaseException {

setup();

// Open the data accessor. This is used to store
        // persistent objects.
        sda = new SimpleDA(store);

// Instantiate and store some entity classes
        SimpleEntityClass sec1 = sda.pIdx.get("keyone");
        SimpleEntityClass sec2 = sda.pIdx.get("keytwo");

SimpleEntityClass sec4 = sda.sIdx.get("skeythree");

System.out.println("sec1: " + sec1.getpKey());
        System.out.println("sec2: " + sec2.getpKey());
        System.out.println("sec4: " + sec4.getpKey());

shutdown();
    } </pre>
      <p>
            Finally, to complete our class, we need a
            <tt class="methodname">main()</tt> method, which simply calls our
            <tt class="methodname">run()</tt> method.
    </p>
      <pre class="programlisting">    // main
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        SimpleStoreGet ssg = new SimpleStoreGet();
        try {
            ssg.run();
        } catch (DatabaseException dbe) {
            System.err.println("SimpleStoreGet: " + dbe.toString());
            dbe.printStackTrace();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("Exception: " + e.toString());
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        System.out.println("All done.");
    }

} </pre>
