Specifying Environment Properties for the Persistence Service

Environment properties specify the naming service that you use to save components and to retrieve stored components. Environment properties also specify other configuration information, such as credentials for security.

Environment properties are stored in a hash table.

If you use only the persistence service, then you construct the hash table and pass it to the constructor for the InitialPersistenceManager.

If you use the persistence service through the MetadataManager, then you specify the environment properties in the Connection object that you create for connecting to the BI Beans Catalog.

The following list describes the environment properties that are significant when you use the persistence service:
