Packaging XBL Components

Hi All

Would like to know if it's possible to package custom XBL components into a
separate JAR file. We currently have all of our custom XBL components
packaged into a WAR file which is overlaid to the Orbeon WAR file to create
a single WAR file for deployment and we want to be able to rebuild the XBL
components package by itself in some cases.

Kind regards
Kris

Hi Kris,

Yes, you can. Out-of-the-box, you can put additional resources in the
`WEB-INF/resources`, or in your own jar files that you add in `WEB-INF/lib`.
They will be loaded from the jars by the ClassLoader resource manager which
is there by default (and has to be there, as most built-in Orbeon Forms
resources are shipped in jar files). You can read more about resource
managers on that page linked below, and you'll let me know if this works for
you.

Hi Kris, have you tried putting the source for your XBL in a jar file, per my
previous message? If so, did it work for you?

Hi Alex,

I just got back to this today and yes I managed to separate my custom XBL
components into a separate JAR. Following up on this, is it possible to
deploy the XBL components into a directory on the filesystem which can then
be picked up by the filesystem resource manager instead?

Kind regards
Kris

Hi Kris,

Yes, definitely, and in fact this is something that is done quite
frequently. You'll find more about this on the page linked below, and you'll
let us know if this works for you.
