Hi Eric,

I am on a phone connection at home, so downloading the jars to take a look
isn't a quick option, but I see one reference to:

com.sleepycat.je.Database.*

so you might try:

import com.sleepycat.je.Database.*;

One trick you can use with jars is to look at what classes it contains
with:

jar tf *.jar

or look at one or all classes with:

jar xf *.jar

It's possible that the jar was re-organized after the article was written.
The opening use of the db variable: "XmlContainer db = null" doesn't make
sense but I guess it doesn't break anything to have it there.
