Repository Loader Example

The Repository Loader module includes a simple example of a SQL repository that uses the Repository Loader. The Repository Loader Example can be found in the <ATG2007.3dir>/RL/Example directory.

The SQL repository in the Repository Loader Example is a GSARepository component with a Nucleus address of /atg/rl-example/ExampleRepository. The repository item types in the ExampleRepository are specified by the repository definition file found at <ATG2007.3dir>/RL/Example/config/atg/rl-example/exampleRepository.xml. It defines the following item types in its item descriptors. Note how the content item types use item descriptor inheritance:
