The Project Explorer organizes configurations and resources into projects and folders. In the Project Explorer, you can display the Projects View page, which lists all projects in the domain, and Project/Folder View pages, which list folders and resources in each project.
Projects are non-hierarchical, non-overlapping, top-level grouping constructs.
All ALSB resources (for example, services, WS-Policies, WSDLs, XQuery transformations, and so on) reside in exactly one project. Projects do not overlap. Resources can be created directly under a project, or they can be further organized into folders. However, you can reference any resource regardless of the project in which it resides.
When you create a domain in ALSB, a default project is created.
Project names and folder names are limited to 64 characters, and must not contain the following characters:
\, <, >, |, {, }, %, (, ), :, `, /,
commas
The names, length, and levels of nesting of projects and folders are ultimately affected by the limits of your operating system. Creating folders or projects with very long names or deeply nesting folders can fail due to the limitations of the operating system.
Projects and folders qualify the names of ALSB resources. A reference to a resource is constructed as follows:
project-name/root-folder/. . ./parent-folder/resource-name
If a resource is located directly under a project, the reference is constructed as follows:
project-name/resource-name
