Viewing the Object Layout of a Class

This topic describes the procedure to view the object layout of a class.

Before you begin this task:
Create a data model using WS-AppServer Package generator.


The object layout presents the high-level XML structure of the model. This option is helpful especially when you want to create a custom class replicating the structure of this class, using the Create Class from Object Layout feature.

  1. Double-click the <WS-AppServer Package> from either of the following locations:
    • Workspace Documents (My Recent Documents) window.
    • Workspace Documents (Explorer) > <solution> > <project> . The WS-AppServer Package window appears, displaying all the models and their corresponding attributes, relations methods, and parameters.
  2. From the list of models, right-click a model and select Show Object Layout.
    The object layout of the selected model appears in the Object Layout Viewer window.
