Example - creating an Extension module

To familiarize yourself with the approach to creating an extension module, walk through a simple Hello World example.

1. Find the component you want to extend using Surfbug.

   

2. Create your extension model definition.

   <TOMCAT>/shared/classes/alfresco/web-extension/site-data/extensions/hello-world-extension.xml

   

   1. Create the web script description document hello-world.get.desc.xml as follows:

      <webscript>
        <shortname>Hello World</shortname>
        <description>Hello World</description
        <url>/components/extensions/hello-world</url>
      </webscript> 

   2. Create the web script response template "hello-world.get.html.ftl"

      <h1>HELLO WORLD</h1>

3. Deploy the extension model for the following result.
