      <p>
                Note that when we are done with this section, we will be
                only partially ready to run the application. Some critical
                pieces will be missing; specifically, we will not yet be
                handling the differences between a master and a
                replica. (We do that in the next chapter).
            </p>
      <p>
                Also, note that in the following code fragments, additions
                and changes to the code are marked in <strong class="userinput"><code>bold</code></strong>.
            </p>
      <p>
                To begin, we make some significant changes to our
                <code class="classname">RepConfig</code> class because we will be
                using it to maintain a lot more information that we needed
                for our simple transactional example.
            </p>
      <p>
        We begin by importing a few new
        classes. <code class="classname">java.util.Vector</code> is used to
        organize a list of "other host" definitions (that is, the host and
        port information for the other replication participants known to
        this application). We also need a couple of classes used to manage
        individual host and port information, as well as replication
        startup policy information.
</p>
      <pre class="programlisting"><strong class="userinput"><code>package db.repquote_gsg;

import java.util.Vector;

import com.sleepycat.db.ReplicationHostAddress;
import com.sleepycat.db.ReplicationManagerStartPolicy;</code></strong>

public class RepConfig
{ </pre>
      <p>
        Next we add considerably to the constants and data members used by
        this class. All of this is used to manage information necessary for
        replication purposes. We also at this point change the program's
        name, since we will be doing that to the main class in our
        application a little later in this description.
</p>
      <pre class="programlisting">    // Constant values used in the RepQuote application.
    public static final String progname = <strong class="userinput"><code>"RepQuoteExampleGSG";</code></strong>
    public static final int CACHESIZE = 10 * 1024 * 1024;
    <strong class="userinput"><code>public static final int SLEEPTIME = 5000;</code></strong>

    // member variables containing configuration information
    // String specifying the home directory for rep files.
    public String home;
    // stores an optional set of "other" hosts.
    <strong class="userinput"><code>public Vector&lt;ReplicationHostAddress&gt; otherHosts;
    // priority within the replication group.
    public int priority;
    public ReplicationManagerStartPolicy startPolicy;
    // The host address to listen to.
    public ReplicationHostAddress thisHost;
    // Optional parameter specifying the # of sites in the
    // replication group.
    public int totalSites;

    // member variables used internally.
    private int currOtherHost;
    private boolean gotListenAddress;</code></strong></pre>
      <p>
        Now we update our class constructor to initialize all of these new
        variables:
</p>
      <pre class="programlisting">    public RepConfig()
    {
        <strong class="userinput"><code>startPolicy = ReplicationManagerStartPolicy.REP_ELECTION;</code></strong>
        home = "TESTDIR";
        <strong class="userinput"><code>gotListenAddress = false;
        totalSites = 0;
        priority = 100;
        currOtherHost = 0;
        thisHost = new ReplicationHostAddress();
        otherHosts = new Vector()&lt;ReplicationHostAddress&gt;;</code></strong>
    } </pre>
      <p>
        Finally, we finish updating this class by providing a series of new
        getter and setter methods. These are used primarily for setting a
        retrieving host information of interest to our replicated
        application:
</p>
      <pre class="programlisting">    public java.io.File getHome()
    {
        return new java.io.File(home);
    }

    <strong class="userinput"><code>public void setThisHost(String host, int port)
    {
        gotListenAddress = true;
        thisHost.port = port;
        thisHost.host = host;
    }

    public ReplicationHostAddress getThisHost()
    {
        if (!gotListenAddress) {
            System.err.println("Warning: no host specified.");
            System.err.println("Returning default.");
        }
        return thisHost;
    }

    public boolean gotListenAddress() {
        return gotListenAddress;
    }

    public void addOtherHost(String host, int port, boolean peer)
    {
        ReplicationHostAddress newInfo =
            new ReplicationHostAddress(host, port, peer);
        otherHosts.add(newInfo);
    }

    public ReplicationHostAddress getFirstOtherHost()
    {
        currOtherHost = 0;
        if (otherHosts.size() == 0)
            return null;
        return (ReplicationHostAddress)otherHosts.get(currOtherHost);
    }

    public ReplicationHostAddress getNextOtherHost()
    {
        currOtherHost++;
        if (currOtherHost &gt;= otherHosts.size())
            return null;
        return (ReplicationHostAddress)otherHosts.get(currOtherHost);
    }

    public ReplicationHostAddress getOtherHost(int i)
    {
        if (i &gt;= otherHosts.size())
            return null;
        return (ReplicationHostAddress)otherHosts.get(i);
    }</code></strong>
} </pre>
      <p>
        Having completed our update to the

        <code class="classname">RepConfig</code>
        class, we can now start making
        changes to the main portion of our program. We begin by changing
        the program's name. <span>(This, of course, means that we copy our
<code class="classname">SimpleTxn</code> code to a file named <code class="literal">RepQuoteExampleGSG.java</code>.)</span>

      <p>
        Next we update our usage function. The application will continue to
        accept the <code class="literal">-h</code> parameter so that we can identify
        the environment home directory used by this application. However,
        we also add the

                    used as a tie breaker for elections)

        Now we can begin working on our <code class="literal">main()</code> function.
        We begin by adding a couple of variables that we will use to
        collect TCP/IP host and port information.

        Now we collect our command line arguments. As we do so, we will

        Having done that, the remainder of our <code class="function">main()</code>

      <pre class="programlisting">        <strong class="userinput"><code>RepQuoteExampleGSG</code></strong> runner = null;

      <p>
        Now we need to update our

            <code class="methodname">RepQuoteExampleGSG.init()</code>
        method. Our updates are at first related to configuring
        replication. First, we need to update the method so that we can
        identify the local site to the environment handle (that is, the site identified by the
<code class="literal">-l</code> command line option):
</p>
      <pre class="programlisting">    public int init(RepConfig config)

        envConfig.setErrorStream(System.err);
        envConfig.setErrorPrefix(RepConfig.progname);

        <strong class="userinput"><code>envConfig.setReplicationManagerLocalSite(appConfig.getThisHost());</code></strong> </pre>
      <p>
    And we also add code to allow us to identify "other" sites to the environment handle (that is,
the sites that we identify using the <code class="literal">-o</code> command line
option). To do this, we iterate over each of the "other" sites provided to
us using the <code class="literal">-o</code> command line option, and we add each one
individually in turn:
</p>
      <pre class="programlisting">        <strong class="userinput"><code>for (ReplicationHostAddress host = appConfig.getFirstOtherHost();
            host != null; host = appConfig.getNextOtherHost())
        {
            envConfig.replicationManagerAddRemoteSite(host);
        }</code></strong> </pre>
      <p>
    And then we need code to allow us to identify the total number of sites
    in this replication group, and to set the environment's priority.
</p>
      <pre class="programlisting">        <strong class="userinput"><code>if (appConfig.totalSites &gt; 0)
            envConfig.setReplicationNumSites(appConfig.totalSites);

      <p>


            <span>We can now open our environment. Note that the options</span>

            we use to open the environment are slightly different for a
            replicated application than they are for a non-replicated
            application. Namely, replication requires the


            <span>
            <code class="methodname">EnvironmentConfig.setInitializeReplication()</code> option.
            </span>
    </p>
      <p>
            Also, because we are using the Replication Manager, we must prepare
            our environment for threaded usage. For this reason, we also
            need the <code class="literal">DB_THREAD</code> flag.
    </p>
      <pre class="programlisting">        envConfig.setCacheSize(RepConfig.CACHESIZE);
        envConfig.setTxnNoSync(true);

        envConfig.setAllowCreate(true);
        envConfig.setRunRecovery(true);
        <strong class="userinput"><code>envConfig.setInitializeReplication(true);</code></strong>
        envConfig.setInitializeLocking(true);
        envConfig.setInitializeLogging(true);
        envConfig.setInitializeCache(true);
        envConfig.setTransactional(true);
        try {
            dbenv = new Environment(appConfig.getHome(), envConfig);
        } catch(FileNotFoundException e) {
            System.err.println("FileNotFound exception: " + e.toString());
            System.err.println(
                "Ensure that the environment directory is pre-created.");
            ret = 1;
        } </pre>
      <p>
        Finally, we start replication before we exit this method.
        Immediately after exiting this method, our application will go into
        the

        <code class="methodname">RepQuoteExampleGSG.doloop()</code>
        method, which is where
       the bulk of our application's work is performed. We update that
       method in the next chapter.
</p>
      <pre class="programlisting">        // start Replication Manager
        dbenv.replicationManagerStart(3, appConfig.startPolicy);
        return ret;
    } </pre>
      <p>
        This completes our replication updates for the moment. We are not as
        yet ready to actually run this program; there remains a few
        critical pieces left to add to it. However, the work that we
        performed in this section represents a solid foundation for the
        remainder of our replication work.
