Demo README files

For each demonstration program provided with PSE/PSE Pro, there is a README file that describes what the program does, and how to compile, postprocess, and run it. You can find these demos in COM/odi/demo.

The OSDraw demo uses PSE/PSE Pro to store instances of various shape and image classes in a database. These classes represent objects such as lines, rectangles, ovals, polygons, text, and images in any size or color.
The collections demo shows how a third-party library can be converted to be persistence-capable. This example uses the freely available collections library written by Doug Lea.
The pcount demo shows how to write a simple applet that uses PSE/PSE Pro. You can use this applet as a hit counter, such as those you see on Web pages that indicate the number of times that page has been visited.
The people demo is a basic example of the use of PSE/PSE Pro. This is the same example that appears in Chapter 2 of the user guide.
The pport demo models the trading of portfolios of securities. It can compute the net asset value of a portfolio as a function of time, based on the changes in the prices of the securities in the portfolio. This program uses the PSE/PSE Pro vector and hash table utility classes.
The rep demo shows how to control the persistent representation of an object. You need not store all instance variables; you can choose your own representation.
The threads demo illustrates the use of PSE/PSE Pro in multi-threaded applications where the threads cooperate, which means they belong to the same session.
