Reference implementations

In addition to the three basic Endeca IAP components, your Endeca distribution also contains a set of reference implementations that implement many of Endeca’s features.

You used the basic wine reference implementation when you tested your Endeca installation.

You can use these optional reference implementations as a starting point or guide when building your own application. The reference implementations incorporate two types of information:

Data reference implementations show you how to use the Information Transformation Layer features to convert your source data into MDEX Engine indices.
UI reference implementations show you how to add Endeca features to your application’s user interface.

The reference implementations are located in the reference directory of your Endeca Platform Services installation. For more information about the reference implementations, see the Endeca Basic Development Guide.
