package Test;
 
import java.io.File;
 
import com.db4o.*;
import com.db4o.ObjectContainer;
import com.db4o.ObjectSet;
 
public class countryMethod {

public final static String filename = "C:\\TestStore.yap"; 
public String record;
public int value;
public String cName1;
private static ObjectContainer db = Db4o.openFile(filename);

public static void storeData() {
//Delete existing data file
new File(filename).delete();

//Open Database
db = Db4o.openFile(filename);

//Add value into database
Country c1 = new Country(100, "Malaysia");
Country c2 = new Country(200, "Thailand");
Country c3 = new Country(300, "Sing");
Country c4 = new Country(400, "Japan");
Country c5 = new Country(500, "Indian");

db.set(c1);
db.set(c2);
db.set(c3);
db.set(c4);
db.set(c5);
System.out.println("abc");
}

public String getData() {
String str = "";
try {

//open database
ObjectContainer db = Db4o.openFile(filename);

//Create empty object
Country country = new Country(0,null);

//Object dataset
ObjectSet result = db.get(country);

//System.out.println(result.size());

while(result.hasNext()){

Country a = (Country)result.next();
record = a.getName();

value = a.getValue();
str = str +" | "+ value;

//System.out.println(str);
//System.out.println(a.getValue());

}
}catch(Exception s){
s.printStackTrace();
}
str = str +" | "+ record;
return str;
}

/*public int getValue(){
return value;
}*/
}

Since you don't say what happened when you tried the code, I have to guess that a problem exists because you failed to import the "Test" package in the page import statement.

Sorry about that. Here is the error after i tried to run it.

i will look into the info that you suggested. Thanks a lot

Hi,
U can even use EL
it is as follows ${ClassName/Context sharing rsource.MethodName())
this is a cool one but donot forget to activate EL in Deployment Descriptor or Page header.

hi

just look at the <%@page import....

i think your missing = there
it should be

<%@page import="com.db4o.ObjectContainer"%>

hope this works
