Publish wizard publish parameters

Look at the following example of a store-refs.xml file from the ConsumerDirectStore.sar file.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE store-refs SYSTEM "store-refs.dtd">
<store-refs
    target-dtd="WEB-INF/stores/FashionFlow/data/ForeignKeys.dtd"
    deploy-descriptor="WEB-INF/stores/FashionFlow/data/ibm-wc-load.xml"
    resource-bundle="/SAR-INF/properties/publishNLS">
    ref id="storeDir" entity="STORE_DIR" >
        <input type="text"/>
</ref>
<ref id="storeIdent" entity="STORE_IDENTIFIER" >
        input type="text"/>
</ref>
<ref id = "parentOrg" entity="ORGANIZATION_DN">
        <input type="member" />
</ref>    
</store-refs>

In the XML example:

ref id

used as the key in the properties file specified by the store-refs resource-bundle attribute. It is used to obtain the translatable parameter name and the description that displays in the publish parameters page.

entity

the name of the ENTITY in the target-dtd that is edited by this parameter.

input type

controls how the parameter is displayed on screen. If the input type is text, the parameter is displayed in an editable field. If the input type is member, all of the existing organizations display in a drop-down list. Read-only parameters cannot be edited.

<ref id="storeDir" entity="STORE_DIR" > <input type="text"/>

This entity creates the publish parameter store directory.

<ref id="storeIdent" entity="STORE_IDENTIFIER" > < input type="text"/>

This entity creates the publish parameter store identifier.

<ref id = "parentOrg" entity="ORGANIZATION_DN"> <input type="member" />

This entity creates the publish parameter organziation

target-dtd="WEB-INF/stores/ConsumerDirect/data/ForeignKeys.dtd

Defines the target-dtd file. The values that a user enters for these parameters are stored in the file identified in the target dtd file.

This file is also part of the store archive and is unpacked with the store data assets. The entity value corresponding to each parameter is updated in the unpacked file. The DTD inside the store archive is not updated. The values for the parameters are stored in this file (in this case ForeignKeys.dtd) until publish is instantiated.

resource-bundle="/SAR-INF/properties/publishNLS"

Finally, if a store may be published in several languages, as the starter stores are, the publish parameters and their accompanying descriptions are found in locale specific files. The field label and description for each publish parameter are located in the properties file defined in the resource-bundle attribute of the store-refs.xml. During publish, publish looks for the specific locale for the language used in the Publish wizard. The stores-ref.xml file also defines these files.

deploy-descriptor="WEB-INF/stores/FashionFlow/data/ibm-wc-load.xml

The deploy descriptor specifies the location of the file ( ibm-wc-load.xml) that controls the publish data portion of the publishing process.
