Creating Beans

Procedure

  1. From the repository tree view, expand Code > Global Beans and right-click the Beans node. In the contextual menu, select Create Bean.
  2. The New Bean wizard opens. In the Name field, type in a name for the Bean, Customer in this use case.
  3. Enter the following code in the design workspace.
    package beans;
    
    import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlAccessType;
    import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlAccessorType;
    import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlElement;
    import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlRootElement;
    import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlType;
    
    
    /**
     * <p>Java class for customer complex type.
     * 
     * <p>The following schema fragment specifies the expected content contained within this class.
     * 
     * <pre>
     * &lt;complexType name="customer">
     *   &lt;complexContent>
     *     &lt;restriction base="{http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema}anyType">
     *       &lt;sequence>
     *         &lt;element name="firstName" type="{http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema}string"/>
     *         &lt;element name="lastName" type="{http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema}string"/>
     *         &lt;element name="city" type="{http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema}string"/>
     *       &lt;/sequence>
     *     &lt;/restriction>
     *   &lt;/complexContent>
     * &lt;/complexType>
     * </pre>
     * 
     *

        }
    
    }
  4. Press Ctrl+S to save your Bean.
  5. Repeat this operation to create another Bean named Customers using the following code:
    package beans;
    
    import java.util.ArrayList;
    import java.util.HashMap;
    import java.util.List;
    import java.util.Map;
    
    import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlAccessType;
    import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlAccessorType;
    import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlElement;
    import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlRootElement;
    
    
    /**
     * <p>Java class for anonymous complex type.
     * 
     * <p>The following schema fragment specifies the expected content contained within this class.
     * 
     * <pre>
     * &lt;complexType>
     *   &lt;complexContent>
     *     &lt;restriction base="{http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema}anyType">
