Creating a new Repository Model

After you have created a new Eclipse project, you can start working with SSE. For that, you need to create a new Repository Model as follow:

  1. In the Package Explorer, right-click on your project (in our case it is called myProject), then click New > Folder
  2. Automatically your project is selected, then you have to name your folder by filling the field Folder name (we call it model). Then click Finish.
  3. Now you can start to create a repository model inside the folder model that you just created in Step 2. In order to do that, right-click on the folder model, then click New > Other...
  4. In the new wizard, select the folder Service Specification Environment > Repository Diagram. Then click Next.
  5. Select the folder that will contain the diagram model and name your file. In our case it is called myRepository. Then click Next.
    Important, always the filename extension of your diagram model should be *.sse_repo_diagram.
  6. Select the folder that will contain the domain model and name your file. By default, the name of the domain model is the same as the name of the diagram model. If you want to rename it fill the field File name and click Finish.
    Important, always the filename extension of your domain model should be *.sse_repo.
  7. In the end, the structure of your project will look like the picture below:
  8. Now, you can start creating service specifications, e.g., by creating signatures
