Example

A sample repository file, called demo.rep, is supplied with the xmlconnector.jar.

1. Step I : Initializing Tables
   
   This step is required to create the demo tables in the backend.
   • ( i )
     Select demo.rep, file from the Repository Files dropdown list. Choose b3Test, from the BOI Name dropdown list and initializetest as the Method Name. Browse to a folder where you would like the results to be placed.
     
     
     
     
   • ( ii )
     Next select either XML Schema radio button or DTD radio button, depending on whether you want the metadata documents to be generated in XML Schema format or in DTD format respectively.
     Now click on the button Gen Metadata. Assuming you have chosen XML Schema, the metadata for the Request, Response and RequestStatus documents will be generated in XML Schema format, in the [Destination Folder]\Metadata folder.
     To view the generated metadata documents, click on the Edit/View... button.
   • ( iii )
     Switch to the Execute tab. You can edit the Request Document, by clicking on the Edit/View Req button to enter the Bus Component Name, pointing to your backend.
     
     Assumption : You are not using the Activation functionality.
     
     
     
     
   • ( iv )
     Now click on the Execute Request button, to invoke an execute call on XML Connector, for the Request Document, you just edited. You can view the result of the call, i.e. the Response and the Request Status documents, by clicking on the View Results button.
     
     Note
     If the you want to execute a Request document in a different path than the one in the destination folder, then the Response and the RequestStatus documents will be generated in that folder, under a sub-directory Output. For example, if the destination folder points to C:\Streets, but the Request Document, which the you pick for execution is in the folder C:\Residence, then the documents will be generated in the folder C:\Residence\Output.



2. Step II : Creating Records
   
   This step will create two records in the backend, in the demo tables, "tmboa100" and "tmboa110".
   • ( i )
     Select demo.rep, file from the Repository Files dropdown list. Choose b3Test, from the BOI Name dropdown list and fillTabletmboa100_110 as the Method Name. Browse to a folder where you would like the results to be placed. You may use the same destination folder as in Step I.
     
     
     
     
   • ( ii )
     Same as (ii) of Step I.
   • ( iii )
     Same as (iii) of Step I. Edit the Request XML Document as shown in the figure.
     
     
     
     
   • ( iv )
     Same as (iv) of Step I.



3. Step III : Retrieving Records
   
   This step will retrieve records from the backend.
   
   • ( i )
     Select demo.rep, file from the Repository Files dropdown list. Choose Streets, from the BOI Name dropdown list and list as the Method Name. Browse to a folder where you would like the results to be placed. You may use the same destination folder as in Step I.
     
     
     
     
   • ( ii )
     Same as (ii) of Step I.
   • ( iii )
     Same as (iii) of Step I. Edit the Request XML Document as shown in the figure.
     
     
     
     
   • ( iv )
     Same as (iv) of Step I.
