Understanding Sun Master Index Configuration Options (Repository)

Object Definition File Example

Following is a short sample illustrating the elements in the Object Definition file. The DOB field shows usage of the minimum-value element, the SSN field shows usage of the pattern element, and the AddressType field illustrates the code-module element. The AddressType field also has the key-type set to true, meaning that each record can only contain one address of each address type.
