Working with the OracleAS TopLink Sessions Editor

The OracleAS TopLink Sessions Editor window contains similar parts as the OracleAS TopLink Mapping Workbench window (see Figure 1–2). The Navigator pane contains the project tree for all open projects (see "Using the Navigator Pane"). Click the plus or minus ( + or – ) symbol next to an object (or double-click the object) to expand and collapse the tree. When you select an object in the Navigator pane, its properties appear in the Editor pane.
