The Project Explorer module allows AquaLogic Service Bus developers to better organize related parts of large development projects by allowing logical grouping of AquaLogic Service Bus entities.
The Project Explorer module consists of projects and folders.
Projects are non-hierarchical, non-overlapping, top-level grouping constructs. All AquaLogic Service Bus resources (for example, services, WS-Policies, WSDLs, XQuery transformations, and so on) reside in exactly one project. Projects do not overlap. Resources can be created directly under a project, or they can be further organized into folders. However, you can reference any resource regardless of the project in which it resides.
Note:
When you create a domain in AquaLogic Service Bus, a default project is created for your use when you log on to the Console.
Folders are contained within projects. You use folders to hierarchically organize resources. They are similar to directories (or folders) in a file system. Each folder resides under another folder or the project (if it is the root folder in that project). The use of folders is optional.
Note:
The names, length, and levels of nesting of projects and folders are ultimately affected by the limits of your operating system. Creating folders or projects with very long names or deeply nesting folders can fail due to the limitations of the operating system.
On the AquaLogic Service Bus Console, you can navigate to a project or folder in either of the following ways:
Use the tree-based view on the left navigation pane of the Console pages
Use the Project or Folder pages on the main pane of the Console.
The only difference between these ways is that the left navigation pane displays the whole hierarchy but does not display any resources.
Uses of Projects and Folders
Projects and folders are useful for the following reasons:
Projects can serve as a unit of development in a large scale development effort. For example, projects proj_HR, and proj_SALES can contain, respectively, all AquaLogic Service Bus components designed for projects for the HR and Sales departments. Folders can further help organize resources within each project.
Projects and folders serve as a namespace to distinguish between entities with the same name.
Projects and folders provide classification and easy-browsing in a domain with a very large number of entities. For example, when you have 1000s of entities, it is preferable to browse a tree, not a table.
Projects and folders simplify export and import. An import is always additive and never results in deleting resources. If the imported resource already exists, the system updates the resource; if it does not exist, the system creates the resource.
Resources
Projects and folders qualify AquaLogic Service Bus resources along with the name of that resource. Therefore, the project name and the name of the folder (path) is a part of resource name. In other words, a resource is referenced by pre-pending its name with a project name followed by an array of folder names, from root to the folder of the resource.
A reference to a resource is displayed as follows:
The Projects page allows you to add a new project. To learn more about projects and folders, see Overview of the Project Explorer.
Note:
The names, length, and levels of nesting of projects and folders are ultimately affected by the limits of your operating system. Creating folders or projects with very long names or deeply nesting folders can fail due to the limitations of the operating system.

Alternatively, click Discard at any time during the session to discard the changes you have made so far in the current session.
The Projects page allows you to clone a project, that is, make a copy of the project. There are three ways to clone a project:
Clone the project with a new name at the root level. In this case, the original project and its clone exist as peer projects. The cloned project contains the same folders and resources as the original (at least until you modify the source or the clone). For instructions, see To Clone a Project at the Root Level.
Clone the project using the name of an existing project (other than the source project). In this case, the folders and resources from the source project are merged with the folders and resources of the project whose the name was assigned to the clone. The original project remains unchanged. For instructions, see To Clone a Project at the Root Level.
Clone the project in a new location, in an existing project or project folder. In this case, the cloned project is demoted to a folder in the new location. It contains the same folders and resources as the original project.
If you clone a project with the same name and in the same location as an existing folder, the contents (subfolders and resources) of the project are merged with the contents of the target folder.
In either case, the original project remains unchanged.
If you have not already done so, from the left navigation pane, under Change Center, click Create to create a new session for making changes to the current configuration. To learn more, see Using the Change Center.

The Load Resources page allows you to import resources in bulk into AquaLogic Service Bus. You can select the Zip or JAR file that contains the resources you want to load. During the import, AquaLogic Service Bus uses the existing file structure to resolve dependencies automatically. To learn more, see Loading Resources from a Zip File.
Resources such as WSDLs or XML Schemas can define a full tree of dependent resources. To successfully add such resources, you must also add and resolve all the dependent resources. The Load Resources page allows you to import a given resource and all its dependents by specifying the URL of the root resource, if these resources are available through the Web. Specifying the root resource is sufficient to download the full tree. The dependency map is resolved automatically. To learn more, see Loading Resources from a URL.
Note:
There is a difference between bulk import functionality and the import functionality provided by AquaLogic Service Bus to facilitate the import of AquaLogic Service Bus configurations. You use bulk import to import resources that are not hosted by AquaLogic Service Bus; for example, to import resources that reside in a file or on the Web. You use the import configuration functionality for propagating a configuration from one AquaLogic Service Bus domain (for example, a testing domain) to another domain (for example, a production domain). To learn about this latter functionality, see Importing Resources
The Load Resources page allows you to import resources in bulk. You can select the Zip or JAR file that contains the resources you want to load; AquaLogic Service Bus locates and imports the resources from this Zip file.
Note:
Resources like WSDL or XML Schema can define a full tree of dependent resources. The bulk load feature allows you to upload a set of resources at once; you need not resolve the dependencies manually.
To Load Resources from a Zip File
If you have not already done so, from the left navigation pane, under Change Center, click Create to create a new session for making changes to the current configuration. To learn more, see Using the Change Center.
From the left navigation pane, select Project Explorer. The Project View page is displayed.
Select the project to which you want to add the resources. You can add the resources directly under the project or under a selected folder.
Note:
To select a folder, click the name of the folder. The Folder View page is displayed.
From the Project View or Folder View page, in the Create Resource field, select Zipped Resources from under Bulk. The Load Resources page is displayed.
Under Select Zip File and Review Type Extensions, do the following:
In the Select Zip File field, click Browse to locate an existing Zip file. This is a required field.
Click Open to select the file for import.
Review the Extension Map.
Each file in the Zip file is a possible resource, and the file extension is the commonly used way to identify the file type. AquaLogic Service Bus defines a default extension for each resource, but if you have additional extensions to describe those resources, this map enables you to declare those extensions to the loader. After you define the Zip file and extension map, the AquaLogic Service Bus loader scans the contents of the Zip file and tries to associate a resource type with each file. A file without an extension or one that does not have an extension defined in the map is considered unknown and is automatically excluded from the load. For known files, the name of the resource is the name of the file without its extension. The folder structure of the Zip file is recreated in the target AquaLogic Service Bus Console folder.
Note:
An extension can only be associated with one file type.
Select the resources you wish to load, and click Next.
The Load Resources page allows you to import a resource such as a WSDL or XML Schema and all its dependents by specifying the URL of the root resource, if these resources are available through the Web. Specifying the root resource enables you to download the full tree. The dependency map is resolved automatically.
