Name	Description	Default Value
EBS Java Root Source Directory	Where java/class/xml file's package resides. (e.g. classes) Default is java.	java
EBS Java Root Destination Directory	Target directory for java,class,xml files. Default is $JAVA_TOP. (e.g. $JAVA_TOP/MyCompany).	$JAVA_TOP
EBS Java Classpath	Location of user-defined classes and packages.

Sample Build Commands

cp $SOURCE_FILE $XXHR_TOP/mds/xxt/oracle/apps/ak/xxperson/webui/;
java oracle.jrad.tools.xml.exporter.XMLExporter /xxt/oracle/apps/ak/xxperson/webui/managePersonPG -rootdir ./ -username $FDEBS_DB_USER -password $FDEBS_DB_PASSWORD -dbconnection "$AD_APPS_JDBC_URL" ;

Sample Deploy Commands

cp $SOURCE_FILE $XXHR_TOP/mds/xxt/oracle/apps/ak/xxperson/webui/;
java oracle.jrad.tools.xml.importer.XMLImporter $XXHR_TOP/mds/xxt/oracle/apps/ak/xxperson/webui/managePersonPG.xml  -rootdir $XXHR_TOP/mds/ -username $FDEBS_DB_USER -password $FDEBS_DB_PASSWORD -dbconnection "$AD_APPS_JDBC_URL";

Considerations

All OAF MDS related files must be sourced controlled under a directory structure matching the Java package structure. This is a requirement to ensure the generated deploy commands copy them to the correct location under the $JAVA_TOP. If this requirement is not met, you will need to modify each of the target location paths and re-evaluate the commands. See example below where xxPersonMainPG.xml file is placed in xxt/oracle/apps/ak/xxperson/webui under java folder.
