Adding an attribute reference

Before you start:

To complete this task, you must have completed the following tasks:

You can add an attribute reference to a message, complex type or complex element. This task assumes that you have previously added the relevant message, complex type or complex element to your message model.

To add an attribute reference to a message, complex type or complex element:

  1. Switch to the Broker Application Development perspective.
  2. Ensure that the Outline view is visible in the Broker Application Development perspective of the workbench. If the Outline view is not visible, from the workbench menu, click Window > Show View > Outline.
  3. In the Outline view, right-click the message model object (message, complex type or complex element) to which you are adding the attribute reference then click Add Attribute Reference on the pop-up menu. This adds a default attribute reference to the message model object that points to an existing global attribute.

You can now configure the attribute reference to your exact requirements. For further information on configuring message model objects see Configuring message model objects.
