Creating a MOLGENIS from scratch

We will generate a new MOLGENIS by the example of a simple Address Book application:

a simple database having “Contacts” entities that each can have zero or more “Addresses”:

Create the data model

Create a new xml file ‘addressbook_db.xml’ in the root of you application. This file will contain the MOLGENIS model. Use the following template:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!DOCTYPE molgenis PUBLIC "MOLGENIS 1.0" "http://molgenis.sourceforge.net/dtd/molgenis_v_1_0.dtd">
    <molgenis name="addressbook">
  </molgenis>
