The parameters in this file specify options for the ASP.NET Web Services generator for Component Enabler. This file must be copied into the "views" sub-directory of a bundle as per the following example:
C:\NGEN_CE\classes\com\unisys\sample\OrderMethods\views\GeneratorConfig.xml
Placing the xml file in the "views" sub-directory of a bundle, means the settings are specific to a particular bundle. As in the above example, the xml file belongs to the "OrderMethods" bundle in the "sample" application. The sections of the GeneratorConfig.xml file are described below.
