                    In order to place an object in a DPL entity store,
                    you must:
            </p>
      <div class="orderedlist">
        <ol type="1">
          <li>
            <p>
                                    Open the environment and store.
                            </p>
          </li>
          <li>
            <p>
                                    Instantiate the object.
                            </p>
          </li>
          <li>
            <p>
                                    Put the object to the store using the
                                    <tt class="methodname">put()</tt> method
                                    for the object's primary index.
                            </p>
          </li>
        </ol>
      </div>
      <p>
                    The following example uses the <tt class="classname">SimpleDA</tt>
                    class that we show in <a href="simpleda.html">SimpleDA.class</a> to put a
                    <tt class="classname">SimpleEntityClass</tt> object (see
                    <a href="persist_access.html#simpleentity">A Simple Entity Class</a>) to the
                    entity store.
            </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 SimpleStorePut {

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 need to create a method to actually write objects to our
            store. This method creates a <tt class="classname">SimpleDA</tt>
            object (see <a href="simpleda.html">SimpleDA.class</a> that we
            will use to access our indexes. Then we instantiate a serious
            of <tt class="classname">SimpleEntityClass</tt> (see <a href="persist_access.html#simpleentity">A Simple Entity Class</a>) 
            instances that we
            will place in our store. Finally, we use our primary index
            (obtained from the <tt class="classname">SimpleDA</tt> class
            instance) to actually place these objects in our store.
    </p>
      <p>
            In <a href="simpleget.html">Retrieving Objects from an Entity Store</a>
            we show a class that is used to retrieve these objects.
    </p>
      <pre class="programlisting">    // Populate the entity 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 = new SimpleEntityClass();
        SimpleEntityClass sec2 = new SimpleEntityClass();
        SimpleEntityClass sec3 = new SimpleEntityClass();
        SimpleEntityClass sec4 = new SimpleEntityClass();
        SimpleEntityClass sec5 = new SimpleEntityClass();

sec1.setpKey("keyone");
        sec1.setsKey("skeyone");

sec2.setpKey("keytwo");
        sec2.setsKey("skeyone");

sec3.setpKey("keythree");
        sec3.setsKey("skeytwo");

sec4.setpKey("keyfour");
        sec4.setsKey("skeythree");

sec5.setpKey("keyfive");
        sec5.setsKey("skeyfour");

sda.pIdx.put(sec1);
        sda.pIdx.put(sec2);
        sda.pIdx.put(sec3);
        sda.pIdx.put(sec4);
        sda.pIdx.put(sec5);

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[]) {
        SimpleStorePut ssp = new SimpleStorePut();
        try {
            ssp.run();
        } catch (DatabaseException dbe) {
            System.err.println("SimpleStorePut: " + dbe.toString());
            dbe.printStackTrace();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("Exception: " + e.toString());
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        System.out.println("All done.");
    }

} </pre>
