How to save an entity with description and a file?

Question

Hi everybody!
I have an entity Video:
@Entity
public class Video {
@PrimaryKey
private String title;
@SecondaryKey(relate = MANY_TO_ONE, relatedEntity=Journalist.class)
private String jorName;
@SecondaryKey(relate = MANY_TO_ONE, relatedEntity=Operator.class)
private String oName;
@SecondaryKey(relate = MANY_TO_ONE)
private Date date;
@SecondaryKey(relate = MANY_TO_ONE)
private String place;
private File file;
the video accesor for PK is:
PrimaryIndex<String,Video> pIdx=store.getPrimaryIndex(String.class, Video.class);
A user opens a form(it is written in swing) and fills in the title, name of the author, date, place of the video and browsers a file from some source. Now the user presses button "upload" and the whole object must be put to database. I dont understand how the whole object(file with filled description) can be put to db?
Below is actionPerformed function:
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
Object source = e.getSource();
if (e.getSource() == btnBrowse) {
int returnVal = fc.showOpenDialog(VideoPanel.this);
if (returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
File file = fc.getSelectedFile();
textField.setText(file.toString());
if(source == btnUpload){
if(text1.getText().equals("")&&text2.getText().equals("")&&text3.getText().equals("")){
//how to put the whole object?
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
I dont understand how the whole object(file with filled description) can be put to db?Have you read the documentation and examples about how to use the com.sleepycat.persist API to write and read persistent objects? If so, what specifically is confusing? Be sure to look at the example programs.
We can help with questions about our APIs, once you've read the doc, but please understand that we won't be able to supply you with the code to integrate with your Swing app -- that's your job.
