Creating Variable One-to-One Mappings

Use this procedure to create a variable one-to-one mapping. You must configure the target descriptor before defining the mapping.

To create a variable one-to-one mapping:

In the Application Navigator, select the interface descriptor that will be referenced.
On the Implementors tab, choose all descriptors that implement this interface and share a common query key. You may need to create query keys for some or all of these descriptors.
Figure 7-13 Implementors Tab
In the Application Navigator, select the attribute to be mapped as a variable one-to-one mapping and click the Variable One-to-One Mapping button on the mapping toolbar.
Select the General tab.
Figure 7-14 Variable One-to-One Mapping General Properties
Use the Reference Descriptor drop-down list to choose a reference descriptor from the list of available interface descriptors.
Enter any other required information on the General tab (see "Working with Common Mapping Properties" ).
Select the Query Key Associations tab.
Figure 7-15 Variable One-to-One Mapping Query Key Associations Properties
Specify fields in the source descriptor's tables to use for common query keys.
Select the Class Indicator Info tab.
Figure 7-16 Variable One-to-One Mapping Class Indicator Info Tab

Use this table to enter data in each field.

Field	Description
Class Indicator Field	Use the drop-down list to choose a field to use as a class indicator. To use unique primary keys (no class indicator values), choose <none selected>.
Indicator Type	Use the drop-down list to choose the Java type for the Class Indicator Field.
Class information:
Include	Specify to use this class for the mapping.
Class	Name of the class. This field is for display only.
Indicator Value	Value used by this class.

Note: If the class does not appear in the Class Information table, you must add the class in the interface descriptor. See "Implementing an Interface" for more information.
