2. A window will open to allow you to enter or browse to the folder (Web project)
where you want the database design imported. Click Browse and select the
OnLineCatalog project. Click OK and then Finish.
Note: Do you need to reconnect to the database? If you need to
re-establish a connection to the database, select the database in the DB
Servers view. Right-click and select Reconnect.
3. The imported information is stored by the wizard in the
Web Content/WEB-INF/databases/SALESAPP directory. If this is the first
time you have worked with a database in the project you will be asked if the
wizard should create the directory. Click Yes.
In this case, the database has been newly created so the import will just add a
folder for the database and a Statements folder underneath. If you had imported
a database with existing tables, views, schema, etc., you would see much more.
Creating a schema
When you imported the database to the Web project, a directory structure was
created under the Web Content/WEB_INF folder to contain the database design
information. You can see this in the Data Definition view by expanding the
OnlineCatalog Web project folder.
Note: If you have installed the sample application and created the database
using the DB2 commands included with the additional material, the tables
have already been created for you and the following steps do not apply. Just
read through them so you will know how we did it.
1. Find the Web Content/WEB_INF/databases/SALESAPP directory, right-click,
and select New -> New schema definition....
