Managing Dependent Objects

Only the root WTE object can be created externally. This means that you can create instances of it directly in scripting or other programming languages. Some WTE objects can be created by using the Add method on a collection object. For example, you can use the WTEApplications.Add method to create a new WTEApplication object.

Some objects contain a reference to other objects. For example, a WTEAddress object contains the name of its associated WTEApplication object.

There are specific considerations to keep in mind as you manage objects in your code:

• When adding an object that contains a reference to another object or when modifying the name of the referenced object, WTE verifies the existence of the referenced object. If the referenced object cannot be verified, the operation fails.
• When removing an object that is referenced by another object, WTE removes that reference.
• If you try to save an object whose parent is a new object that has never been saved, you should first save the parent object; otherwise, the save operation will fail.
