<p>
Retrieving information from the database is accomplished via the
standard Java collections API. In the example, the
<a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Set.html#iterator" target="_top">Set.iterator</a>
method is used to iterate all
<a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Map.Entry.html" target="_top">Map.Entry</a>
objects for each store. All standard Java methods for retrieving
objects from a collection may be used with the DB Java Collections API.
</p>
<p>
The <tt class="methodname">PrintDatabase.doWork()</tt> method calls
<tt class="methodname">printEntries()</tt>
to print the map entries for each database store. It is called via
the
<a href="../../java/com/sleepycat/collections/TransactionRunner.html" target="_top">TransactionRunner</a>
class and was outlined in the previous section.
</p>
<a id="cb_printdatabase"></a>
<pre class="programlisting">import java.util.Iterator;
...
public class Sample
{
...
private SampleViews views;
...
private class PrintDatabase implements TransactionWorker
{
public void doWork()
throws Exception
{
<b class="userinput"><tt> printEntries("Parts",
views.getPartEntrySet().iterator());
printEntries("Suppliers",

}
}

The
<a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Set.html" target="_top">Set</a>
of
<a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Map.Entry.html" target="_top">Map.Entry</a>
objects for each store is obtained from the <tt class="classname">SampleViews</tt>
object. This set can also be obtained by calling the
<a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Map.html#entrySet" target="_top">Map.entrySet</a>
method of a stored map.
</p>
<p>
The <tt class="methodname">printEntries()</tt> prints the map entries for any stored
map. The
<a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/Object.html#toString" target="_top">Object.toString</a>
method of each key and value is called to
obtain a printable representation of each object.
</p>
<a id="cb_printentries"></a>
<pre class="programlisting"> private void printEntries(String label, Iterator iterator)
{
<b class="userinput"><tt> System.out.println("\n--- " + label + " ---");
while (iterator.hasNext())
{
Map.Entry entry = (Map.Entry) iterator.next();
System.out.println(entry.getKey().toString());
System.out.println(entry.getValue().toString());
}</tt></b>
} </pre>
<p>
This is one of a small number of behavioral differences between
standard Java collections and stored collections. For a complete
list see
