Creating New Class Object progmatically

Question

Instead of uploading an XML for a new type definition, I want to create a new class object progmatically.
In my code, I basically set up a ClassObjectDefinition, set the attributes, then call createSchemaObject.
I'm getting an exception saying that I have an invalid or missing option.
What is the bare minimum needed to create a new Class Object?

First - you must be admin mode to create any subclasses. Minimally, you need to set:
- ClassName
- SuperClass
- your custom attributes
If you have created your own java class which is optional, you will need to set:
- BeanClassPath
Then there's optional settings such as Description.
If this doesn't help, is it possible to post your code setting the ClassObject Definition attribute Values (AVs) and the create?
As a guide, you should set all the AVs that you used to create a subclass via XML.
Another note - once you create subclass named FOO, you will not be able to create another subclass named FOO.
Another note (!): by default, iFS will use your class name to create the DBMS table. If you have a particularly long class name which will exceed the DBMS limits for table names, then you will want to set:
- DatabaseObjectName
hope this helps.
