13.3 Backend Tasks: Creating the Model Using SAP Gateway
Now, you’ll find out how to take an existing business object that lives inside SAP
(a monster, in this example) and enable it to be exposed for use in SAPUI5 applications.
There are two parts to this:
1. The configuration part, in which you define the data structures used in the
model that represents the business object and the relationships between them.
2. The coding part, in which you implement methods that will be used to create,
retrieve, update, and delete instances of your business object (monster) in the
SAP database.
13.3.1 Configuration
In this section, you’ll see how to use SAP Gateway to set things up such that when
a URL request is made from a web browse r or from a desktop or mobile device
for information that resides in our model in SAP that information gets sent back.
The steps are as follows:
1. Create a project, which will contain the details of your monster data model.
2. Create so-called entities, which descri be the data structure of the monster
