Create a new resource type from scratch

• Run build Script

• First we create an empty resource-type. For this type following build script in the console
  

      ./build.sh new-resource-type for Linux

       build.bat new-resource-type for windows

• It will ask you for a name for your resource-type and type a name (e.g.: your-resource)
• It asks you for a namespace for your resource. Insert a namespace:( e.g. http://yourname.org/yanel/resource/1.0)
• Then give a short description for your resource-type
• Now it asks you for a package name where java class of your resource type to be stored. Type a package e.g. org.wyona.yanel.impl.resources.yourpackage
• Enter a java class name of this resource-type (e.g.YourResource)
• Now choose the template for your java class. Type any one of the following: (empty, xml, usecase, examples).
• Then it will ask to implement some interfaces to your java class.Type yes to implement interfaces.
• You will be asked for the different interfaces. Type yes for necessary interfaces.
• Now the newly created resource is available in the following directory. $YANELHOME/src/contributions/resources



Your resource type directory contains the following:

• ./yanel-htdocs/doc/index.html
• ./yanel-htdocs/icons/scalable/rt-icon.svg
• ./yanel-htdocs/icons/32x32/rt-icon.png
• ./yanel-htdocs/icons/22x22/rt-icon.png
• ./yanel-htdocs/icons/16x16/rt-icon.png
• ./resource.xml
• ./build.xml
• ./src/build/dependencies.xml
• ./src/build/build.properties
• ./src/java/org/yourname/yanel/impl/resources/ YourResource.java

• Register New Resource

• Register your newly created resource to the local.resource-type.xml ($YANELHOME/conf/local/local.resource-type.xml) by adding following line:

           <resource-type src="@YANEL_SRC_DIR@/src/contributions/resources/your-resource/" compile="true"/>

• Implement Functionality

• Implement necessary functionality in the YourResource.java.

• Rebuild Yanel

• Rebuild the Yanel so that yanel can build our newly created resource-type also.
• Please note that a resource type can also be built on its own (e.g. ./build.sh -f src/resources/xml/build.xml), whereas one might has to update the dependencies (e.g. src/resources/xml/src/build/dependencies.xml)

• Restart Yanel

• Type build script ./yanel.sh start for Linux or start-yanel.bat for Windows
• Your new resource type should be listed now at http://127.0.0.1:8080/yanel/

• Add Resource Type configuration

• Yanel looks up a configuration for a requested URL, to determine what resource-type to use. This resource-type configuration files are located in the repository which is configured as the rti (resource type identifier) repository in a realm.
• (e.g $YANELHOME/src/realms/use-cases/yanel/rti/your-resource.html.yanel-rc)

				<?xml version="1.0"?><yanel:resource-config xmlns:yanel="http://www.wyona.org/yanel/rti/1.0">
				  <yanel:rti name="hello-world"namespace="http://yourname.org/yanel/resource/1.0"/></yanel:resource-config>

• Browse Resource

• You can view the newly created resource by browsing http://localhost:8080/yanel/test/use-cases/your-resource.html.
