Exploring SimpleDB with Java

Download typica from the project site at Google Code— http://code.google.com/p/typica/.

The latest version of typica at the time of writing this is 1.6. Download the ZIP file from the website. Unzip to the folder of your choice and add the typica.jar to your classpath. You also need some third-party libraries used by typica and can download each of these dependencies and add the corresponding JAR files to your classpath:

• commons-logging (http://commons.apache.org/downloads/download_logging.cgi)

• JAXB (https://jaxb.dev.java.net/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=6746&expandFolder=6746&folderID=3952)

• commons-httpclient (http://hc.apache.org/downloads.cgi)
