POrtal application object -> Abstract Portal Component, Location dropdown.

[Former Member]

Hi

I am creating a Portal application project in NWDS.

Inside this project I am creating a POrtal application object -> Abstract Portal Component.

Now, there is a dialigue box which appears, prompting for object name and package.

In the same dialogue box there is an additional dropdown box for Location.

It has two values "api" and "core".

What does these mean.

Thanks

The location of the new Java class file determines whether other applications can reference the classes. Generally, the choice is only meaningful when defining services and the interfaces to make available to those applications the reference the service.

You can specify one of the following:

■ Core (default): Places the file in the src.core project directory, and makes it private.

■ API: Places the file in the src.api, and makes it public.

Hi ,

It means where exactly the abstract component will be placed in project . There will be two folders in the project - src.api , src.core .

By default core is selected and hence the component gets created in SRC.CORE .

Thanks Mayank.

But what does these folder mean.

Why have they been provided by SAP.

When to select which one.

This is what I was looking for

■ Core (default): Places the file in the src.core project directory, and makes it private.

■ API: Places the file in the src.api, and makes it public.

Thanks
