Configuring extensions in Workbench

Extensions are defined in the ws-extensions.xml file in %ENDECA_TOOLS_CONF%\conf (on Windows) or $ENDECA_TOOLS_CONF/conf (on UNIX).

The default ws-extensions.xml file is as follows: 

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

<extensions xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
	xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="extensions.xsd">

</extensions>

Each extension is defined in an extension element within extensions. You can specify as many additional extensions as you need by adding more extension elements. For a full list of list of required and optional attributes, see Extension element attributes.

This example of a ws-extensions.xml file defines a simple extension that enables a link to the Endeca Web site. 

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

<extensions xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
	xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="extensions.xsd">
	<extension id="endecaHome"
			defaultName="Endeca home page"
			defaultDescription="Visit the Endeca home page"
			url="http://www.endeca.com">
</extension>		
</extensions>
