In the N1 SPS environment, plans, components, and other parts of the solution are defined through XML. You can use several XML schemas to define your plug-in solution. The following schemas are provided in the docs/xml directory of the product media:
plugin.xsd – Plug-in schema used to describe the parts of the plug-in through the plug-in descriptor file
pluginUI.xsd – Plug-in user interface schema used to define an interface to the plug-in within the N1 SPS browser interface
component.xsd – Component schema used to define components and component types
planCompShared.xsd – Schema that contains elements that are common to plans and components
This document includes examples that illustrate the XML schemas. For complete reference information about the elements and attributes used in the XML schemas, see Sun N1 Service Provisioning System 5.1 XML Schema Reference Guide.
