Representing business objects

Rogue Wave® JViews TGO graphic components provide support to graphically represent your own business objects, known as user-defined business objects. These business objects are generally represented with a simple implementation that you can customize and extend by means of cascading style sheets.
For an example of how to customize user-defined business objects in the network component, refer to <installdir> /samples/network/customClasses.

Nodes

In the network and equipment components, user-defined business objects that represent nodes are graphically represented by a shape and a label, as shown in the following figure.

Links

In the network and equipment components, user-defined business objects that represent links are rendered as a general link graphic object when they implement IlpObject directly, that is, when they do not extend a predefined business link class. The graphical representation is illustrated in the following figure.
