Creating Extension Points

An extension point represents a method on a Java class where a ruleset can be run. These methods can be extended by associating an executable ruleset to the extension point.

To create an extension point:

From the Studio menu, select New, then select Inventory, then select Administration, and then select Extension Point.

The Extension Point Wizard dialog box appears.
From the Project drop-down list, select the project where the entity is to reside.
In the Name field, enter the name of the extension point.
(Optional) Select a location for the new extension point.

By default, Design Studio saves the entity to your default workspace location. You can enter a folder name in the Folder field or select a location different from the system-provided default. To select a different location:
1. Click the Folder field Browse button.
2. Navigate to the directory in which to save the entity.
3. Click OK.
Click Finish.
