1.47 Localize Files Dialog

Use to copy the following types of files:

  • The artifact file and any dependent artifact files that it imports into the current project. This dialog appears when you select an artifact file (for example, an EDL, XSD, WSDL, or XSL file) from the local file system that is not under the current project directory. For example, this dialog appears if you create a BPEL service component using the Base on a WSDL option and use the WSDL Chooser dialog to select a WSDL from a different project.

    If you click Cancel in this dialog, the artifact files are not copied and the URL of the original artifact is returned to the client dialog or editor. Most clients continue to use this URL. This is because it is valid for the design time environment to reference this URL even though the artifact is not deployed and cannot be used at runtime.

  • The remote WSDL and its dependent artifacts into the project. This dialog appears when you select the copy wsdl and its dependent artifacts into the project checkbox on the Create Web Service dialog, Create Direct Binding Service dialog, or Create ADF BC Service dialog, and select WSDLs with an oramds URL in the WSDL Chooser dialog, or manually enter a remote (HTTP) URL.

    If you click Cancel in this dialog, the copy of the WSDL file is cancelled, but the external reference is still created with the original URL.

Element Description

Copy Options

This section provides the following copy options.

Maintain original directory structure for imported files

Select this checkbox to leave the imported files unchanged and to recreate the relative directory structure to the imported artifact files. For example, imported and included files that have URIs relative to the copied file are placed in the original directory structure when copied. If you do not select this checkbox, the files are copied to the standard SOA directories (for example, .xsd for XSD files, .xsl for XSL files, and the project directory for WSDL and EDL files). The imported files are automatically modified to reflect this change. This checkbox is selected by default.

This option is the default for this dialog when the copy wsdl and its dependent artifacts into the project checkbox is selected on the Create Web Service dialog.

Rename duplicate files

Select this checkbox to rename duplicate files. For example, if you select this option and the artifact files already exist in the current project, the copied artifact files are renamed with _1 on the end (for example, Mediator1_1.wsdl) and the imported files are automatically updated. Otherwise, the copied file overlays the existing file. This checkbox is selected by default.

Localize external references

Select this option to localize external references. This checkbox only displays if an artifact file has an import that references a remote artifact. Imported and included files that have absolute URIs are also localized. This checkbox is selected by default.

The following files will be created in directory path

Displays all files to be copied. If a WSDL or XSD is highly nested (for example, it imports many other WSDL or XSD files), many files can display in this window.
