Remarks

translator interface to translate objects on storage and activation.

Examples: ../com/db4o/samples/translators.

By writing classes that implement this interface, it is possible to define how application classes are to be converted to be stored more efficiently.

Before starting a db4o session, translator classes need to be registered. An example:
 Copy imageCopy Code
            Configuration config = Db4o.configure();

            ObjectClass oc = config.objectClass("package.className");

            oc.translate(new FooTranslator());
