# Creating a Project From an Existing Data Model

If you have an existing data model (such as a database schema), but you do not have a corresponding data model (Java classes for domain objects), use this procedure to create your TopLink project and automatically generate the corresponding object model.

This procedure applies to relational projects.

## Using TopLink Workbench

1. Create the project (see "Using TopLink Workbench").

2. Import database tables (see "Importing Tables from a Database").

3. Generate classes. For more information, see either of the following:

   - "Generating Classes and Descriptors From Database Tables"

   - "Generating EJB Entities and Descriptors From Database Tables"

4. Configure project options (see Chapter 22, "Configuring a Project").
