Thanks for the explanation. I have one question for clarification. You stated that I have to provide the object model containing the entity classes. Is there anything in particular that these classes must have, besides the fields that map to the columns in a DB table? Do they need to implement any OJB interfaces?

No that's not correct. OJB is formost a *mapping* tool. that is you'll have to provide an object model containing all your entity classes. You also have to build a corresponding database schema. Then you have to write the repository.xml file that defines the mapping between object model and relational database schema. We have *some* support for automatic generation from rdbms schema to repository.xml and oo model. We also have a tool to generate the rdbms tables from the repository.xml. These tools are mentioned in the last section of tutorial1.html. BUT: These tools are not working properly right now! We plan to have a complete forward/reverse engineering suite in the 2.0 release! > I cannot figure out how to make this happen.

Please read our tutorials to learn how OJB works. cheers, Thomas > > __________________________________________________ > Michael Blake Day > Nextel Communications, Inc. > email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > desk: 678.966.4792 > > -- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: > <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > For additional commands, e-mail: > <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
