Creating a new object workspace for a custom object

Hello,

I have a problem with creating object workspace for my custom object in the plugin. I'm trying to create something similar to "chassis-rack" sample that provided with the SDK. I added a new app category and I want to display inventory lists of various custom objects under it. For each custom object, I need to be able to view it's related objects and/or its own properties. So I did everything just like in "rack-chassis" sample. I am able to view lists of my custom objects. However, when I click on a specific object in the list, its workspace does not appear (although it's defined in plugin.xml), I get an empty screen with a message: "You have no privileges to view this object or it does not exist". I added two custom objects and they both behave the same way.

I checked all the logs and there is nothing interesting. I also debugged it and found out that "getData" function of the DataAdapter registered for these objects is not called when I click on the specific object, so I suppose the problem is related to the object workspace, but I can't find or understand how I can find it.

I will be very grateful for help.

Here is my plugin.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<plugin id="com.emc.ecs.scaleioPlugin"

   moduleUri="Scaleiopluginui.swf" defaultBundle="ScaleiopluginuiResources">

   <resources>

      <resource locale="en_US">

         <!-- relative path of the resource .swf generated by the build script -->

         <module uri="locales/scaleio-plugin-ui-resources-en_US.swf"/>

      </resource>

   </resources>
