Documentation Conventions
This document uses the following conventions:
Examples in the documentation
Examples in the documentation assume that COM.odi.* is imported. This allows specification of, for example,
db.open(ObjectStore.READONLY)instead of db.open(COM.odi.ObjectStore.READONLY)
Internet gateway
You can obtain such information as frequently asked questions (FAQs) from Object Design's Internet gateway machine as well as from the web. This machine is called ftp.objectdesign.com and its Internet address is 198.3.16.26. You can use ftp to retrieve the FAQs from there. Use the login name objectdesignftp and the password obtained from patch-info. This password also changes monthly, but you can automatically receive the updated password by subscribing to patch-info. See the ObjectStore Release 5.1 README file for guidelines for using this connection. The FAQs are in the /support/FAQ subdirectory. This directory contains a group of subdirectories organized by topic. The FAQ/FAQ.tar.Z file is a compressed tar version of this hierarchy that you can download. Automatic email notification
In addition to the previous methods of obtaining Object Design's latest patch updates (available on the ftp server as well as the Object Design Support home page), you can now automatically be notified of updates. To subscribe, send email to majordomo@objectdesign.com with the keyword SUBSCRIBE patch-info < your siteid> in the body of your email. This will subscribe you to Object Design's patch information server daemon that automatically provides site access information and notification of other changes to the on-line support services. Your site ID is listed on any shipment from Object Design, or you can contact your Object Design Sales Administrator for the site ID information. Email discussion list
There is a majordomo discussion list called osji-discussion. The purpose of this list is to facilitate discussion about the Java interface to ObjectStore
