Objectio dB database for Java desktop persistance

Question

I have been trying out object ox io for Java. It has been working well on Android hence I decided to go with it on Java desktop implementation.

The problem I am facing is that I can save my data at run time but when I restart the app or desktop app the data is gone, is forgotten, which is very strange. I have tried to look for an explanation but haven't found anything on this. Can anyone help or have an idea why this is? In the mean time I have reverted to using SQLite. The app is intended to be very big and have a lot of multi-threads.

here is a sample


import io.objectbox.BoxStore;
import io.objectbox.DebugFlags;
import lombok.SneakyThrows;

import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;

public class DBObjectManager {

    public static DBObjectManager  objectIOAccessInstance ;
    private BoxStore store;


    private DBObjectManager() {
        File tempFile = null;
        try {
            tempFile = File.createTempFile("objectdb", "");
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        tempFile.delete();
         store = MyObjectBox.builder()
                .directory(tempFile)              
                .debugFlags(DebugFlags.LOG_QUERIES | DebugFlags.LOG_QUERY_PARAMETERS)
                .build();
    }

    public static DBObjectManager getinstance() {
        if (objectIOAccessInstance == null) {
            objectIOAccessInstance = new DBObjectManager();
        }
        return objectIOAccessInstance;
    }

    public BoxStore getStore() {
        return store;
    }
}

How shall anybody be able to help you if provide close to nothing of information? How do you configure, initialize, use the db? Maybe you are using an in-memory db. How shall we know? — mipa, May 22 '22 at 11:00
this is a class that i will use anywhere in any other java app , in this case, I am using this with JavaFX — kinsley kajiva, May 22 '22 at 15:31
using problematic code in _whatever_ context doesn't make it related to _whatever_ ;) — kleopatra, May 23 '22 at 09:11

You are creating a new temporary file each time when you execute your application. I guess that explains your problem.

From the docs:

creates a new empty file in the specified directory. deleteOnExit() method is called to delete the file created by this method.

yes its working now, so the question is for me, does the app lose access to the files every time we run to make an in-memory type of database every time there is a run, since its temp files are written to disk? – kinsley kajiva May 22 '22 at 18:39

Just use a non-temporary file. – mipa May 23 '22 at 08:37
