Projects Based on Existing Metadata

You can create a project based on the contents of eTMetadata and eToperation binding set for both dynamic and static connectors. Creating a project based on existing metadata allows you to:

• Review or modify the class mappings and operation bindings for a connector type in Connector Xpress.
• Deploy the changes back to the endpoint.

Creating a project based on existing metadata is useful when:

• The original project file that was used for creating the connector is no longer available.
• A project file for the connector does not exist, for example, for static connector types.
• A project file that reflects the latest changes for the connector type is required.
