Creating the model layer for a query page
In the next couple of recipes, we will be creating a search screen. The search screen will be based upon a view, but we will not create an entity object. If we are not performing database transactions, we do not need to create an entity object, although we will do that later in the chapter. We will be creating our application module to search for employees. Therefore, we need to create an application module and view object, and link them together. We will then test that we can return records from EBS using the Oracle Business Component Browser. We will test the configuration before we start creating the user interface in the next recipe. It is really important for us to check that we have successfully set up our application module before we go on to create the user interface. To do this, we will perform the following tasks:
Creating the application module (AM)
Creating a view object (VO)
Linking the view object to the application module (VO to AM)
Testing...
