About the Code Generated for an Integration Object

Integration objects are special kinds of property sets that are the input and output of business services based on the data sync service. JavaBeans based on integration objects are designed to be used with those business services or with the EAI Siebel Adapter and can be used to query, delete, upsert, and synchronize information in the Siebel Server's database.

The integration object, and each of its components, has its own Java class, stored in the package com.siebel.local.IntegrationObjectName. The class for the integration object has IO appended to the end, and the class for an integration component has IC appended. The Code Generator creates the standard Java directory structure reflecting the package structure. In the selected folder, a subfolder named com is created, containing a subfolder siebel, containing a subfolder local, which contains one subfolder for each integration object that was generated. The Java files are stored in the lowest directory. This structure is shown in the following image. One folder is created under local for each integration object that is generated. The folder that is created contains all the Java files for that integration object.

For example, the integration object Sample Account; which has five components Account, Account Attachment, Account_Organization, Business Address, and Contact; generates the following six classes:

• Sample_AcccountIO

• AccountIC

• Account_AttachmentIC

• Account_OrganizationIC

• Business_AddressIC

• ContactIC

The first class, suffixed with IO, represents the entire integration object. It has methods to construct the object, to read and write fields, to add integration object components, and to convert to and from a SiebelPropertySet. The other five classes, suffixed with IC, represent the individual integration object components and provide methods that are for constructing the component to read and write fields and to convert to and from a SiebelPropertySet.
