How to Fill a Tree with Business Objects

// Create a tree component and connect it to a data source
IlpTree treeComponent = new IlpTree();
IltDefaultDataSource dataSource = new IltDefaultDataSource();
// The second parameter specifies which kind of object contained 
// in the data source the tree will show
treeComponent.setDataSource(dataSource, IltNetworkElement.GetIlpClass());
 
// Create a business object and insert it in the data source
IltObjectState os = new IltBellcoreObjectState();
os.set(IltBellcore.State.EnabledActive);
IltNetworkElement london = 
  new IltNetworkElement("Fax", IltNetworkElement.Type.Fax, os);
dataSource.addObject(london);

You can also use project files to easily create and load data source business objects into your tree component, as illustrated below:

How to Fill a Tree with Business Objects Using a Project File

You can create the following project file to indicate the type of data source to be used and the XML file that contains the data source information:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<tgo xmlns:xsi = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation = "ilog/cpl/schema/project.xsd">
  <datasource javaClass="ilog.tgo.datasource.IltDefaultDataSource" fileName="network.xml"/>
</tgo>
