Creating views involves a three-step process:
Create and define resources specific to the type of view you are creating:
For list views, see Implementing a New List View.
For tree views, see Implementing a New Tree View.
Add the view to the task configuration file, so that it is visible to users as described in the Adding Settings to New Resources section of the Creating and Defining a Task Configuration File section. Be sure to map the view name in a resource bundle to a key that you use in the task configuration file. If you skip this step, the view won’t display in the Browse tab Show drop-down list. See Changing UI Labels for instructions.
The following instructions describe how to create two fictitious views: one list view and one tree view. The list view displays manufacturers, which are items that are currently part of the Product Catalog repository. The tree view holds items of a custom type called assortments that contain a flexible group of products, any combination of which may be purchased.
