Ocean* Application Development Framework - Ocean - Schlumberger

Custom Worksteps
Ocean will populate the UIs with each argument’s initial value:
Fig. 6-32 Line UI with Initial Argument Values
Fig. 6-33 Default Dialog UI with Initial Argument Values
Initial values for domain objects should be set to the NullObject or null if the
NullObject property does not exist for that domain object.
Argument Description
Recall that the argument names in the default UI were the same as the argument
package property names. You may prefer to show the user a more meaningful name
in the default UIs.
You can supply a better argument name and a short description using a custom
Ocean attribute, DescriptionAttribute. It is defined as:
public sealed class DescriptionAttribute : DescribedArgumentAttribute
{
public DescriptionAttribute(string name, string shortDescription);
...
}
public abstract class DescribedArgumentAttribute : System.Attribute {}
