Extending the SkyVault Share Document Library

SkyVault offers a number of extension points for the document library.

This includes:

This documentation 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 SkyVault 4.0 and later 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 4.0 onwards, there is a new data web script (at /components/documentlibrary/data/) that 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 global events are available to make it easier to add new metadata template renderers and client-side action handlers.
Customizing document library views Within the document library it is possible to select from a number of views. It is also possible to add custom views to the document library through configuration in the share-documentlibrary-config.xml file.
