po.test.PurchaseOrderSample.java

Currently, the SDO generator does not generate a sample application that can show the users how the generated Java™ classes can be used. PurchaseOrderSample.java is provided in the example to demonstrate the following actions:

  • Add initialization code before using the generated classes.
  • Create an instance of PurchaseOrder and the other classes.
  • Serialize the PurchaseOrder instance into an XML file.
  • Load PurchaseOrder from the XML file.

Generating Service Data Objects from PurchaseOrder.xsd

To generate SDOs from PurchaseOrder.xsd, follow the steps below:
  1. Click Window > Open Perspective > Java
  2. Right-click on PurchaseOrder.xsd from the Package Explorer, then select Generate > Java to bring up the Java generation wizard.
  3. From the Generator list, select SDO Generator.
  4. For the Container field, click Browse to locate the SDOFromXSDExample project in your workspace.
  5. Click Finish to generate the Java classes.
  6. The following is a screen snapshot of the generated Java classes.
