Can one component *-config.xml file extend two or more different extension points?
I know according to the Customization documentation:
http://doc.nuxeo.com/display/NXDOC55/Customization+and+Development
When you are not creating a real Nuxeo Plugin (i.e. a JAR), XML configuration files should:
- be copied in the “config” directory (nuxeo.ear/config or nxserver/config),
- have a filename ending with -config.xml,
- have a unique component identifier.
But I was wondering if I would need two seperate whatever*-config.xml
files to extend two different components, e.g. ContentViewService ( org.nuxeo.ecm.platform.ui.web.ContentViewService ) and WebLayoutManager ( org.nuxeo.ecm.platform.forms.layout.WebLayoutManager ) with the following format ( simplified ) if anyone knows how to get the code to display properly, please feel free to edit this… :
> < ?xml version="1.0"? >
>
> < component
> name="com.my.creation.contentView.contrib" >
>
> < require
> >org.nuxeo.ecm.platform.forms.layouts.webapp.listing<
> /require >
>
> < extension
> target="org.nuxeo.ecm.platform.forms.layout.WebLayoutManager"
> point="layouts" >
>
> < layout name="document_listing" >
>
> < templates >
>
> ...
>
> < /templates >
>
> < /layout >
>
> < /extension >
>
> < extension
> target="org.nuxeo.ecm.platform.forms.layout.WebLayoutManager"
> point="widgets" >
>
> < layout name="document_virtual_navigation_listing_ajax"
> >
>
> < templates >
>
> ...
>
> < /templates >
>
> < /layout >
>
> < /extension >
>
> < extension
> target="org.nuxeo.ecm.platform.ui.web.ContentViewService"
> point="contentViews" >
> < contentView name="faceted_search_default" >
>
> ...
> < /contentView >
>
> < /extension > < /component >
I know by default, XML files contributed in the “config” directory are loaded only when the server starts, and that I would need to restart the server to see the changes, but could changes be made to both extensions within the one contribution file?
Thanks in advance!
hello,
the answer is yes: you can contribute to as many extension points as you want in a single -config.xml (or -bundle.xml) file deployed in $NUXEO/nxserver/config/
that's the case for the file defining LDAP servers and directories: http://doc.nuxeo.com/download/attachments/5570895/default-ldap-users-directory-bundle.xml
