Hi,

I am implementing a Master using BDB ReplicationManager. In this class
I'm opening a few tables using env.openDatabase() call. However when I
try to open a table which allows duplicate records, I am getting
IllegalArgumentException.

If I comment this line in the below code snippet, everything works
fine. As long as I use this line, I always get the above exception.
dbconf.setSortedDuplicates(true);

I don't know if I'm missing something.
Any help is much appreciated.

Code Snippet:

private void initDatabase(String tableName) {

Database database = null;

if( cLog.isDebugEnabled() ) cLog.debug("about create database
config for [" + tableName + "]");
DatabaseConfig dbconf = new DatabaseConfig();
// Set page size small so page allocation is cheap.
dbconf.setPageSize(512);
dbconf.setType(DatabaseType.BTREE);
if (dbenv.getIsMaster())
{
dbconf.setAllowCreate(true);
}

dbconf.setTransactional(true);
dbconf.setSortedDuplicates(true);
try
{
database = dbenv.openDatabase(null, tableName, null,
dbconf);
databasesMap.put(tableName, database);
}
catch (java.io.FileNotFoundException e)
{
cLog.warn( "[" + tableName + "] database is not
available.", e);
if (database != null)
{
try {
database.close(true);
} catch (DatabaseException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
}
database = null;
}
try {
Thread.sleep(someinterval); //TODO ??
}
catch (InterruptedException ie) {

}
//return;
} catch (DatabaseException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
catch (Exception e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

Many thanks inadvance,
Prasad

I figured out what's causing this exception.
It seems that, if you've an already existing database which was created
using a dbconfig object, you can't create the same database with
another dbconfig object.

If I delete the database physically from the dbhome directory the
exception goes away.
Pretty strange and misleading exception. It would have been great to
have a meaningful exception to mention the above.
