Extending the SkyVault Share Document Library

With SkyVault, Version 4.0, there are new extension points for the document library.

This includes:

This also includes a jsNode client-side help object reference and a list of out-of-the-box evaluators.

SkyVault Share Document Library repository tier In order to preserve existing customizations and third party add-ons, a parallel set of data web scripts has been developed for Version 4.0 to coexist with the previous data web scripts. These new web scripts are located in the remote-api project and have URLs starting with /slingshot/doclib2/.
SkyVault Share Document Library web tier In versions of SkyVault Share previous to 4.0, the client-side JavaScript requested JSON data from the repository directly via the proxy servlet. From v4.0, there is a new data web script (at /components/documentlibrary/data/) thst requests data from the repository and processes the response based on a configurable set of evaluators before finally returning JSON data to the browser.
Override and extension examples You configure new evaluators via a web-extension/custom-slingshot-*-context.xml file, taking the form of bean definitions.
Client-side template and action extensions Two new global events have been introduced to make it easier to add new metadata template renderers and client-side action handlers.
