m4_p([dnl
Although the Java API parallels the m4_db C++/C interface in many ways,
it differs where the Java language requires.  For example, the handle
method names are camel-cased and conform to Java naming patterns.  (The
C++/C method names are currently provided, but are deprecated.)])

m4_nlist([dnl
The Java runtime does not automatically close m4_db objects on
finalization.  There are several reasons for this.  One is that
finalization is generally run only when garbage collection occurs, and
there is no guarantee that this occurs at all, even on exit.  Allowing
specific m4_db actions to occur in ways that cannot be replicated seems
wrong.  Second, finalization of objects may happen in an arbitrary
order, so we would have to do extra bookkeeping to make sure that
everything was closed in the proper order.  The best word of advice is
to always do a close() for any matching open() call.  Specifically, the
m4_db package requires that you explicitly call close on each individual
m4_linkjavadoc(com.sleepycat.db, Database) and
m4_linkjavadoc(com.sleepycat.db, Cursor) object that you opened.  Your database
activity may not be synchronized to disk unless you do so.])

m4_nlist([dnl
Some methods in the Java API have no return type, and throw a
m4_linkjavadoc(com.sleepycat.db, DatabaseException) when an severe error
arises.  There are some notable methods that do have a return value, and
can also throw an exception.  The "get" methods in
m4_linkjavadoc(com.sleepycat.db, Database) and
m4_linkjavadoc(com.sleepycat.db, Cursor) both return 0 when a get
succeeds, m4_ref(DB_NOTFOUND) when the key is not found, and throw an
error when there is a severe error.  This approach allows the programmer
to check for typical data-driven errors by watching return values
without special casing exceptions.
m4_p([dnl
An object of type m4_linkjavadoc(com.sleepycat.db, MemoryException) is
thrown when a Dbt is too small to hold the corresponding key or data item.])
m4_p([dnl
An object of type m4_linkjavadoc(com.sleepycat.db, DeadlockException) is
thrown when a deadlock would occur.])
m4_p([dnl
An object of type m4_linkjavadoc(com.sleepycat.db, RunRecoveryException), a
subclass of m4_linkjavadoc(com.sleepycat.db, DatabaseException), is thrown when
there is an error that requires a recovery of the database using
m4_ref(db_recover).])
m4_p([dnl
An object of type m4_linkjavadoc(java.lang, IllegalArgumentException)
a standard Java Language exception, is thrown when there is an error in
method arguments.])
m4_p([dnl
An object of type m4_linkjavadoc(java.lang, OutOfMemoryError) is thrown
when the system cannot provide enough memory to complete the operation
(the ENOMEM system error on UNIX).])])

m4_nlist([dnl
If there are embedded nulls in the m4_arg(curslist) argument for
m4_linkjavadoc(com.sleepycat.db, Database,
    [join(com.sleepycat.db.Cursor__BRACKETS__, com.sleepycat.db.JoinConfig)]),
they will be treated as the end of the list of cursors, even if you
may have allocated a longer array.  Fill in all the cursors in your
array unless you intend to cut it short.])

m4_nlist([dnl
If you are using custom class loaders in your application, make sure
that the m4_db classes are loaded by the system class loader, not a
custom class loader. This is due to a JVM bug that can cause an access
violation during finalization (see the bug 4238486 in Sun Microsystem's
Java Bug Database).])
