<p>
To store an object in an <code class="classname">EntityStore</code> you
must annotate the class appropriately and then store it using
<code class="methodname">PrimaryIndex.put()</code>.
</p>
<p>
To retrieve and object from an <code class="classname">EntityStore</code>
you use the <code class="methodname">get()</code> method from either the
<code class="classname">PrimaryIndex</code> or
<code class="classname">SecondaryIndex</code>, whichever is most
appropriate for your application.
</p>
<p>
In both cases, it simplifies things greatly if you create a data
accessor class to organize your indexes.
</p>
<p>
In the next few sections we:
</p>
<div class="orderedlist">
<ol type="1">
<li>
<p>
Create an entity class that is ready to be stored
in an entity store. This class will have both a
primary index (required) declared for it, as well
as a secondary index (which is optional).
</p>
<p>
See the next section for this implementation.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Create a data accessor class which is used to
organize our data.
</p>
<p>
See <a class="xref" href="simpleda.html" title="SimpleDA.class">SimpleDA.class</a>
for this implementation.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Create a simple class that is used to put objects
to our entity store.
</p>
<p>
See <a class="xref" href="simpleput.html" title="Placing Objects in an Entity Store">Placing Objects in an Entity Store</a>
for this implementation.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Create another class that retrieves objects from
our entity store.
</p>
<p>

for this implementation.

<p>
For clarity's sake, this entity class is a simple a class as we can write.
It contains only two data members, both of which are set
and retrieved by simple setter and getter methods. Beyond
that, by design this class does not do anything or particular
interest.
</p>
<p>
Its implementation is as follows:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">package persist.gettingStarted;
import com.sleepycat.persist.model.Entity;
import com.sleepycat.persist.model.PrimaryKey;
import static com.sleepycat.persist.model.Relationship.*;
import com.sleepycat.persist.model.SecondaryKey;
@Entity
public class SimpleEntityClass {
// Primary key is pKey
@PrimaryKey
private String pKey;
// Secondary key is the sKey
@SecondaryKey(relate=MANY_TO_ONE)
private String sKey;
public void setPKey(String data) {
pKey = data;
}
public void setSKey(String data) {
sKey = data;
}
public String getPKey() {
return pKey;
}
public String getSKey() {
return sKey;
}
} </pre>
