Abstract
A method and device for generating mapping source code to establish mapping connections between enterprise system nested array object fields and legacy system nested array object fields is disclosed. For each desired mapping connection in a received list of desired connections, a determination of an enterprise system field and legacy system field to be mapped, as well as a connection nesting level, is made. The identity of the system arrays containing the enterprise and legacy system fields is also determined. A logical tree is created which includes a root node, one leaf node for each desired connection, and, for each leaf node, N intermediate nodes interconnecting the leaf node with the root node, where N is equivalent to the determined nesting level of the connection associated with that leaf node, and where each of the N intermediate nodes that is successively further from the root node is associated with a successively more deeply nested target system array. The tree is then traversed depth-first to generate the desired mapping source code.
