You will have to override the "operator::>>" and "operator::<<" functions to store a regular C structure, or even text, in your C++ program. Usually, a C structure is preferred to avoid the overhead of having to parse text. All BDB examples use C structures in both C and C++ programs. >how about a Java app? does it store|transmit it in a > standard format, or does it do the conversion for you? I only use C/C++ so I'm not sure how to implement it in other languages. However, the brute force method of making it work in all scenarios/languages is to simply store streamable text (metadata) in the file that will be the basis for instatiating your JAVA class. _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
