Inserting a record in database using Java

Question

Hello All,
i have connected a Java Application to the SAP BO Database using DI API and would like to insert a record in the demo database without using an SQL Query "Insert into table1...." but using the following snippet though i dont know if am using the right classes :
                                ICompany company = conn.getCompany();
                                 IItems items = SBOCOMUtil.newItems(company);
                    items.setItemCode("124");
                    items.setItemName("VXC");
                    items.setItemsGroupCode(1);
                    items.setItemType(0);
                    items.add();
What i am trying to do here is insert a new record but i dont know where i should mention the table name for e.g. there is table called OITM in the demo database from BO where i would like to create a new Item.
Could anyone help me here.
Regards,

Hi Amit,
You don't need to reference the destination tables as there is a class for each data object in the DI API and the data tables associated with the object are hardcoded in the class.
The Items class is the correct one for adding item master data (ie data in OITM, OITW etc).
I'm not very familiar with these Java objects but I think the add method should return an integer value (as it does with the COM objects used by .NET). If the return value is zero then the add was successful. If the add failed then you'll get a non-zero value which is the SBO error code.
Kind Regards,
