Using the Wizard

After you create a new project of the type "Webobjectsapplication" the WebObjects Application Wizard displays a succession of screens. The sequence of screens that you see depends on the options you select. The following sequence shows those screens that are displayed when you request a Java Client application that includes a newly created model and uses a EOF "skeletal" application template.

  1. Select the type of WebObjects application and the primary language.

    Select Java Client under Available Assistance.

    Select Java under Primary Language.

    You could also select Objective-C or WebScript as the primary language, but these languages are valid only for objects on the server. As noted earlier, objects on the client must always be implemented in Java.

  2. Create or select a model for your application.

    For this tutorial, click "Create new model" and then click Next.

    If you already have a model file, you can select "Open existing model file" and type the file system path to that file in the Model File field; or you can also click Browse and navigate to the file using a browser. This tutorial, however, invites you to follow a sequence of wizard screens that deal with creating a model file. If you chose an existing model file, go to Selecting the Application Template .

    You can find a Movies model file (Movies.eomodeld) in NEXT_ROOT/Developer/Examples/EnterpriseObject/AppKit/Movies.
