Datastore Group:

I am spending way too much time trying to figure out how to perform a
'simple' update.  I'm following the docs but nothing is working.  When
I get a "no-record-found" error I have to restart the appserver just
to continue viewing the data using '_ah/admin'--which is _very_
disappointing.  First of all, why is fist class error thrown when a
query doesn't return a record?  Second, why does a 'no-record-found-
error' hang the entire server forcing a restart. Third, and most
importantly, why is it not obvious how to perform a simple update of a
single record?  I'm using system generated keys, I can see the key
value in the '_ah/admin' viewer, but I run into problems when I try to
query the object/record using the system generated key value.  I'm
trying to use  "getObjectById(<class-name.class>, <key-value>)"; is
this not the sanctioned method?  It would be extremely appreciated if
the documentation included a simple insert, update, select, delete
example that everyone could copy and paste for immediate satisfaction
instead of the deeper theoretical (and somewhat roundabout) form
taken.  I understand the documentation follows Datanucleus OEM
product, but seriously, the appEngine docs should speak to this issue
with greater brevity.  I'm willing to do a write-up and post back to
the list if someone can help me get started with basic CRUD.

I feel it is a reasonable expectation that simple CRUD operations
should CLEARLY be spelled out in the documentation available for
'quick' copy and paste.....instant satisfaction.

Also, a no-record-found error should not be an error, and it surely
should not force a restart.  I must be doing something wrong, I hope
so, because I cannot imagine anyone working this way.

Can somebody please steer me in the right direction....any help would
be greatly appreciated.
