Method and system for optimizing access to a datastore

摘要

A method in a data processing system for optimizing access to a Datastore in an object-oriented environment. The data processing system includes an object and an identification object, wherein the identification object is an instance of a class object. The method includes receiving a request to open the Datastore at the identification object. The request is sent from the identification object its class object in response to receiving the request. Then whether the Datastore is open is determined in response to receiving the request at the class object. The Datastore is opened in response to the Datastore being closed and a message is sent to the identification object indicating that the Datastore has been opened. If the Datastore is already open, a message to the identification object indicating that the Datastore has been opened, wherein access to the Datastore is optimized.
