How Do I: Create a Schemas Project Folder?

When you create a new Process application, by default a project folder named Schemas is created in the business process application folder within the Application tab of WebLogic Workshop. Additional schema project folders can be created in your application folder.

To Create Additional Schema Project Folders

1. In the Application tab, right-click the top-level (parent) application folder.

Note: If the Application tab is not visible in WebLogic Workshop, choose View —> Application from the menu bar.

2. From the drop-down menu, select New —> Project....

The New Project dialog box is displayed.

3. In the left pane, select Schema.
4. In the right pane of the New Project dialog box, select one of the following:
• Schema Project—Any XSD or MFL schema files imported into this file will automatically generate MFL Classes and XML Bean Classes to be used as schemas representation in WebLogic Workshop. Select this file if you are going to add channel files to your schemas folder.
• OAG Schemas—This project folder is for Open Application Group schemas. For more information, see http://www.openapplications.org.
• WLI System Schemas—This project folder has the same functionality as a project folder of type Schema Project. In addition, it contains WebLogic Integration System XSD files.

5. In the Project name field, enter a name, such as MySchemas.

Note: You can name your schemas folder anything you want, except for when you are going to use the folder for application view channels and schemas. In that case, the folder must be named Schemas. For more information see "Prerequisites for Integration Applications Using WebLogic Workshop" in Application View Control.

6. Click Create.

A new project folder is created in the Application tab.

MFL and XSD files can be imported into any schemas project folders. You can have one or more project folders of either schema type in an application folder. For example, you might want to place schemas that infrequently change into the default project folder named Schemas and create another Schema Project folder called MySchemas that contain schemas that change more frequently. If a schema file changes in the project folder, all the schemas in that project folder are rebuilt. Partitioning your schemas in this way can reduce the schema build time. This means if a schema changes in the MySchemas project folder, the schemas in the Schemas project folder will not be built.
