2.28. Configuring the mappingModel

  1. To add the D93A mapping model ZIP set to your application classpath, set the following dependency to your application's POM file: 
    <!-- The mapping model sip set for the D93A directory... -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.milyn.edi.unedifact</groupId>
    <artifactId>d93a-mapping</artifactId>
    <version>v1.4</version>
</dependency>
  2. Configure Smooks to use this ZIP set by adding the unedifact:reader configuration to your Smooks configuration as shown below: 
    <unedifact:reader mappingModel="urn:org.milyn.edi.unedifact:d93a-mapping:v1.4" />
    Note how you configure the reader using a URN derived from the Maven artifac's dependency information.
  3. You can also add multiple mapping model ZIP sets to your application's classpath. To do so, add all of them to your unedifact:reader configuration by comma-separating the URNs.
  4. Pre-generated Java binding model sets are provided with the tool (there is one per mapping model ZIP set). Use these to process UN/EDIFACT interchanges using a very simple, generated factory class.
