Creating the Edge Data Streaming Plug-in XML Document

Creating the Edge Data Streaming Plug-in XML Document

Create an XML document called
vdsplugin.xml
. In the XML document, describe the configuration of the custom entity type.
You can create the XML document in the following ways:
Create the EDS Plug-in XML Document Manually
Manually edit an XML file to include all the required XML elements.
Generate a Sample XML Document from the EDS Plug-in Schema and Modify the XML Document
Use a tool of your choice to generate an XML document from the schema definition.
Perform the following tasks:
  • Create a copy of the
    field
    element for each field that you want the entity to contain, and then provide values for the XML elements for each field. For example, in the version element, specify a version number.
    Specify a unique plug-in ID in the XML document. The plug-in ID must not contain spaces. If two or more EDS plug-in JAR files have the same plug-in ID, EDS loads only one of those plug-in JAR files, and only that plug-in JAR file is visible as a custom entity type in the Administrator tool. For the plug-in JAR files that EDS does not load, EDS logs an error.
  • Edit the values of the XML elements that the
    vdsPlugin
    XML element encloses.
After you create the EDS plug-in XML document, validate the document against the schema definition.
