Step 1

Get the Castor sources from http://github.com/castor-data-binding.

Step 2

If it is not set yet, please set the JAVA_HOME environment variable.

Step 3

Edit src/examples/jdo/database.xml for the database being used. (There are examples for all supported databases in src/tests/jdo.)

Step 4

Build the examples like so:

build.[sh|bat] examples

This will not only build the examples, but will also build the Castor classes.

Step 5

Add the appropriate classes for the database driver to the CLASSPATH.

Step 6

Run the examples using the directions in the next section.

The script files example.sh and example.bat can be used to run the provided examples. The first argument is the example package name. For example, to build and run the JDO example:

  build.sh examples
  example.sh jdo

Castor JDO

The JDO sample will test persistence between a set of Java classes (Product, ProductGroup, ProductDetail) and a known SQL schema. You can use the create.sql file to generate the database schema for the purpose of this test.

The mapping between the Java objects and SQL schema is described in the file mapping.xml. The JDBC connection to use is described in the file database.xml. The provided file uses PostgreSQL as the database server and JDBC driver. You can modify this file for your database server and use any JDBC driver.

The database information and mapping are automatically read from the JDO example directory. There is no need to provide any parameters on the command line.

The performance test uses the ODMG engine as well as direct JDBC access. You must provide the JDBC URI and class name to use for this test on the command line.

Usage:

  example.sh jdo

Castor DSML

Do not run this sample against a production LDAP server unless you are sure it will not affect the information in your directory!

The DSML sample will attempt to import the supplied directory information from the test.xml file using the import policy described in the import.xml. file. It will then run a search against the LDAP server using the search criteria in the search.xml file and dump it to the console.

You must modify search.xml, import.xml and test.xml and adapt them to your LDAP directory structure. The default files assumes the root directory dc=intalio,dc=com and includes some sample LDAP entries.

Usage:

  test.sh dsml [jndi|mozilla] <host> <root-dn> <root-pwd>

  jndi|mozilla  Selects whether to use the JNDI or Mozilla Directory
            SDK implementations
  host          The LDAP host name (port number is optional)
  rood-dn       The root DN used for authenticating when importing
  root-pwd      The root password used for authenticating when importing

For example:

  example.sh dsml mozilla ldap.intalio.com dc=intalio,dc=com secret
