Developing Wedia Plugins

Introduction

Wedia is easily extended by using plugins. Plugins extend the standard Wedia system, which is a different approach than the other customization system, which is replacing actual processing with customized files (aka "monkey-patching").

Plugins are basically folders with a precise subfolder hierarchy, that are loaded and executed by the system. They are deployed in the _san/_perso/_plugins folder.

In the following subsections, you will learn the basic plugin behaviour, how to deploy, start and stop a plugin, how to create a new plug, set parameters, internalionalize a plugin, adding JSP pages, CSS and JS, JARs, and implement business services, and how to check plugins logs.
