Writing to Java file from XML

Are you asking whether the configuration source is stored in a file within the repository?

We have had a long discussion about the use of the Process Configuration Source (XML) file for a process template. Some believe that the Eclipse client for RTC writes to a Java file using the values in the XML Source Configuration document.

My belief is that the key/values in the XML document are used to only record data in the project database. Are either one of us correct in our assumptions?

I'm not sure. Are the values picked up when you save a work item and stored in the database behind RTC? The "repository" (I believe) represents the database on our RTC server, right? I can't imagine that RTC is actually writing any CODE in Java itself just from the process of submitting a work item. I think that, when you save a configuration, that, yes, changes are made to the underlying database, but when you are actually creating new work items, that all it's doing is storing the data in the database. Again, no Java is being "written" behind the scenes as you are working in RTC (not writing plug-ins).
