Getting Started With Direct to Java Client
Main Entities
A mainentity is generally a top-level entity that users work with most frequently. Consequently, Direct to Java Client creates a tab for each main entity in the Query Window and provides form windows for editing each of the main entities. For example, in this tutorial application, the main entities are Customer, Movie, Studio, Talent, Unit, User, and Video.
Direct to Java Client defines a main entity as one that is not the destination of any relationships that:
- Propagate primary key
- Own destination
- Use the cascade delete rule
