How can I get the tablename from a known ViewObject?

Question

I have created an entity and it's default viewobject in the BC4J business components package,and I have built a applictionmodule containing an instance of the viewobject.
Now I can use the instance's name to visit the viewobject or the entity in Jdeveloper.
But how can I get the tablename of the entity by the viewobject instance's name ?
Can you give me any sample statements?

Answer 1

Assuming you want to do this in your middle-tier, it could go like this:
ViewObjectImpl vo = (ViewObjectImpl)appModule.findViewObject( "<instance name>" );
if( vo != null ) {
  // Assuming your VO is entity based.
  EntityDefImpl[] defs = vo.getEntityDefs();
  System.out.println( defs[0].getSource() );
}If you need the name on client side, then put the code above into a method in you Application Module impl and add the method to the client-side interface.
