# Creating Schemas Projects

When you create a new Process application, by default a project folder named Schemas is created in the business process application folder of the Application tab of WebLogic Workshop. Additional project folders of either Schema Project or WLI System Schemas type can be created in your application folder.

In this document, the phrases a Schemas project folder or the current Schemas project folder refers to any project folder of either Schema Project or WLI System Schemas type in the current application. It can have the default name: Schemas or any other legal project name.

MFL and XSD files can be imported into project folders or subfolders of either Schema Project or WLI System Schemas type. You can have one or more project folders of either Schema Project or WLI System Schemas type in an application folder. For example, you might want to place schemas that do not change very often into the default project folder named Schemas and create another Schema Project folder called MySchemas which contain schemas that change more often. (If a schema file changes in the project folder all the schemas in that project folder are built again.) Partitioning your schemas in this way can reduce the schema build time. For example, if a schema keeps changing in the MySchemas project folder, the schemas in the Schemas project folder will not be built.

Project folders of either Schema Project or WLI System Schemas type are same except Project folders of the type WLI System Schemas also contain WebLogic Integration system XSD files. Importing MFL and XSD schema files into project folders of either type will make these schemas available in the current application. In addition, the default project folder named Schemas also contains the WebLogic Integration system XSD files. (This default project folder named Schemas is created when a new business process application is created in WebLogic Workshop.)

For example, you may want to create a Project folder of the WLI System Schemas type, if you deleted a WebLogic Integration system XSD file in the default project folder named Schemas, and you now want access to that system XSD file in your application.

This section contains the following tasks:

- To Create Business Process Application (Required)
- To Create Additional Schema Project or WLI System Schemas Project Folders (Optional)

To Create Business Process Application (Required)

Open or create a business process project and application. For instructions, see Creating a Business Process Application. When you create a new business process application, by default a project folder named Schemas is created. You can use the project folder named Schemas to import your MFL and XSD files into your business process application or you can create additional Schema Project or WLI System Schemas project folders and import your MFL and XSD files into those project folders as described in the following task.

To Create Additional Schema Project or WLI System Schemas Project Folders (Optional)

1. In the Application tab, right-click on the top-level application folder. (If the Application tab is not visible in WebLogic Workshop, choose View —> Application from the menu bar.)
2. From the drop-down menu, select New —> Project....

The New Project dialog box is displayed.

3. In the left-most pane of the New Project dialog box, select the Schema folder.
4. In the right-most pane of the New Project dialog box, select either Schema Project or WLI System Schemas.
5. In the Project name field, enter a name (for example: MySchemas) and click Create.
6. A new schema project folder is created in the Application tab.
