command line and in the options file, pureQuery will use the value that is on the command
line.
E.3 Specifying option files in IBM Optim Development Studio
pureQuery-enabled projects in IBM Optim Development Studio contain a folder named
pureQueryFolder. The folder contains two options files: one named
Default.genProps, and one named Default.bindProps. Notice these files in Figure
E.18.8.

pureQuery-enabled project
By default, IBM Optim Development Studio runs the Generator utility to generate
implementation classes when you build your application. It also runs the Configure utility
automatically. By default, you must use menu options to instruct it when to run the
StaticBinder utility, although you can set options to have it run that utility automatically as
well. When IBM Optim Development Studio runs the Generator and Configure utilities,
Default.genProps specifies the options to use. When it runs the StaticBinder utility,
Default.bindProps specifies the options. If the interface or pureQueryXml file is not in
the corresponding options file, the utility just uses any options that are on the
defaultOptions line.
In bindProps files, you can have more than one entry for each interface or pureQueryXml
file. When you bind an interface, a pureQueryXml file, or a single statement set from a
pureQueryXml file, the utility binds using every entry in the options file that refers to the
item that you selected. If you specify a pureQueryXml file, the utility also binds entries that
represent statement sets in the pureQueryXml file. This allows different statement sets
within a single pureQueryXml file to be bound using different options.
The StaticBinder utility performs binds for entries in the order of the entries in the file.
When you specify a pureQueryXml file that is not in the bindProps file at all, or for which
only certain statement sets are specified in the file, the utility first binds the file using the
default options, and then it binds every entry in the options file that contains a statement
set from the file. Performing a bind in IBM Optim Development Studio is equivalent to
running the StaticBinder utility on the command-line while specifying an options file and
interfaces or pureQueryXml files.
