Configuration With An Option File

You may also configure the PersistenceManagerFactory using Properties containing the setting options as specified in the JDO Specification chapter "11 PersistenceManagerFactory".

The associated properties file options.properties could looks like this:

#name of the PersistenceManagerFactory implementation class of Signsoft intelliBO
javax.jdo.PersistenceManagerFactoryClass=
  com.signsoft.ibo.client.PersistenceManagerFactoryImpl

#properties defined in the JDO specification
javax.jdo.option.ConnectionDriverName=org.h2.Driver
javax.jdo.option.ConnectionUserName=
javax.jdo.option.ConnectionPassword=
javax.jdo.option.ConnectionURL=jdbc:h2:/database/data

#Signsoft intelliBO properties
com.signsoft.ibo.option.DatabaseSupportClassName=
  com.signsoft.ibo.dbsupport.h2.H2DatabaseInfo

You can now build a Properties object that way:

Properties props = new Properties();
props.load(new FileInputStream("option.properties"));

Alternatively you can set the properties directly without the separat options.properties file using the constants defined in class com.signsoft.ibo.client.PersistenceManagerFactoryProperties like this:

Properties props = new Properties();
props.setProperty(pmfp.javax_jdo_PersistenceManagerFactoryClass,
 "com.signsoft.ibo.client.PersistenceManagerFactoryImpl");
props.setProperty(pmfp.javax_jdo_option_ConnectionDriverName, 
 "org.enhydra.instantdb.jdbc.idbDriver");
props.setProperty(pmfp.com_signsoft_ibo_option_DatabaseSupportClassName, 
 "com.signsoft.ibo.dbsupport.h2.H2DatabaseInfo");
...

PersistenceManagerFactory factory =
  JDOHelper.getPersistenceManagerFactory(props);
