| <h1>Creating an orm.xml file</h1> |
| <p>If you opt not to create an <code>orm.xml</code> file when you create a JPA project, you can create one using the <a href="reference005.htm#CIAIJCCE">Mapping File Wizard</a>.</p> |
| <p>Use this procedure to create an <code>orm.xml</code> file:</p> |
| <ol start="1"> |
| <li> |
| <p>From the Navigator or Package Explorer, select <span class="bold">File > New > Other</span>. The Select a Wizard dialog appears.</p> |
| <div class="figure"><a id="sthref47" name="sthref47"></a> |
| <p class="titleinfigure">The Select a Wizard Dialog</p> |
| <img src="img/select_a_wizard_mapping.png" alt="The Select a Wizard dialog with Mapping file selected." title="The Select a Wizard dialog with Mapping file selected." /><br /></div> |
| <!-- class="figure" --></li> |
| <li> |
| <p>Select <span class="bold">Mapping File</span> and then click <span class="bold">Next</span>. The Mapping File page appears.</p> |
| <div class="figure"><a id="sthref48" name="sthref48"></a> |
| <p class="titleinfigure">The Mapping File Page</p> |
| <img src="img/mapping_file_new.png" alt="The Mapping File page." title="The Mapping File page." /><br /></div> |
| <!-- class="figure" --></li> |
| <li> |
| <p>Define the properties in the page and click <span class="bold">Finish</span>. The <code>orm.xml</code> file appears in the src directory of the selected JPA project. You can manage the orm.xml file using the JPA Details view or through the XML Editor. See also <a href="ref_details_orm.htm#CACGDGHC">JPA Details view (for orm.xml)</a>.</p> |
