This section describes the conventions and notations that are applied throughout the JViews TGO Documentation.

Class Naming

JViews TGO is made up of several sets of packages, namely cpl, tgo, views, mt, and util. Each of these sets of packages contains interfaces and classes with different prefixes. Table 1 helps you understand the naming of the classes and interfaces that are described in this documentation:

Description 
cpl 
Classes and interfaces prefixed with Ilp
The cpl set of packages provides a generic layer for building customizable GUIs for Operation Support Systems (OSS). 
tgo  
Classes and interfaces prefixed with Ilt
The tgo set of packages provides all the necessary components for building GUIs dedicated to the telecom industry easily.  
views 
Classes and interfaces prefixed with Ilv
The views set of packages provides the complete hierarchy of ILOG JViews classes, since the network component part of the product is built on the 2D graphic library of ILOG JViews. 
mt and util 
Classes and interfaces prefixed with Il
The mt and util sets of packages contain multithreading functionality and other utilities. Classes in these packages are shared with other ILOG Java products.
