Reusing a Package of Business Domain Components

One of the advantages of keeping business domain components and data model components in separate packages is that you can reuse your business domain components with multiple sets of data model components.

If you want to add a package of data model components to the same Oracle ADF Business Components project as your package of business domain components, there is no special preperatory work. Simply create your package of data model components. However, if you want to reuse a package of business domain components in a different project, you must first import the business domain components.

To import a Oracle ADF Business Components package into a project:

Add the Oracle ADF Business Components package to the project's path:
- If you have the source code for the package, and you want to be able to change your business domain components within this project, change the project's source paths to include the package's source code.
- If you have only the compiled package, or you do not want to edit the package from within this project, change the project's classpath to include the package.
Choose File | Import.
Browse for the package's XML file. If you need further assistance, click Help .
