Associating an Empty BOM Entry to a XOM

 PREVIOUS NEXT

If you have defined an empty BOM entry and want to associate it with a XOM later on, you set the origin of this BOM entry as the path to the XOM.

The BOM origin is a reference from a BOM entry to a XOM. Rule Studio uses this reference to update your BOM entry to:

The BOM origin can refer to a JAR, a Java project, an XSD, a WSDL, a class folder, or a rule project. If it refers to a rule project, it refers in fact to the XOM of the current rule project.

To associate an empty BOM entry to a XOM:

  1. Right-click your rule project and click Properties.
  2. In the Properties dialog, click Business Object Model.
  3. In the Required BOM entries field, expand the BOM entry and double-click the item Origin:none.
  4. In the BOM Entry Origin dialog, type the path to your XOM in the Origin URL field, using the format xom:/myRuleProject/myXOM.
  5. Click OK.
    6. The empty BOM entry is now associated to a XOM.
