About this task
You must create a message definition
file before you can create the message model objects. The message
definition file contains the logical and physical model definitions
of the objects in XML Schema form. To create an empty message definition
file from scratch:
Procedure
- Switch to the Integration Development
perspective.
- Open the New Message Definition
File wizard.
To do this, right-click the message
set project in the Application Development view that you are adding the
message definition file to, and click New> Message Definition
File on the pop-up menu.
The Message Definition File panel
of the wizard is displayed. The target message set list is filtered
to only show artifacts in the active working set.
- Click the message set, type a name into the File name field,
and click Next.
- Step through the remainder of the wizard, completing the
details as required.
Results
The new empty message definition file,
with the name that you have specified and a file extension of *.mxsd,
opens in the Message Definition editor; you can use the editor to
create your own message definitions. If you have chosen to use a target
namespace, a directory structure that is based on the URI that you
have supplied is created. The new message definition file is placed
within this directory structure, which appears in the Application Development view.
