How to add custom properties to config page?

Question

We would add some custom properties in to the config page https://localhost/jazz/admin#action=com.ibm.team.repository.admin.configureAdvanced. Is it possible?

Thanks in advance.

here is one of mine exactly

<code>
   <extension point="com.ibm.team.repository.service.serviceProvider">
           <serviceProvider
             componentId="com.xx.remoterepository"
            implementationClass="com.xx.repository.service.RepositoryFileService">
                   <provides>
                    <providedService interface="com.xx.repository.service.IRepositoryFileService"/>
                   </provides>
                   <prerequisites>
                   <requiredService
                         interface="com.ibm.team.repository.common.internal.IRepositoryRemoteService">
                   </requiredService>
                  <configurationProperties >
                       <configurationProperty
                           accessPolicy="OPEN"
                           default="128"
                           name="sfdc.VolumeSize"
                           description="Max size (in MegaBytes) of files to copy into the RTC repository"
                           displayableName="Maximum file size to copy"
                           required="true"
                           type="INTEGER"
                           updatePolicy="NO_RESTART_REQUIRED">
                       </configurationProperty>
                       <configurationProperty
                           accessPolicy="OPEN"
                           default="idrive"
                           name="sfdc.VolumePrefix"
                           description="the network share name of the Shared volume (FTP server)"
                           displayableName="FTP Volume Share name"
                           required="true"
                           type="STRING"
                           updatePolicy="NO_RESTART_REQUIRED">
                       </configurationProperty>

you have to attach the properties to a plugin. I have created my own services, and added properties.

see

https://jazz.net/forum/questions/62690/need-a-service-a-client-can-call-to-get-server-parameters

and you can only retrieve them THRU the plugin they are attached to.

The document at https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/ConfigurationStory shows how to declare your configuration properties:

All configuration properties must be declared via extension point using the configurationProperties element. This element is nested within a prerequisites element. The prerequisites element is included in both serviceProvider elements as well as extensionService elements.

and how to consume your configuration properties:

As mentioned previously, configuration properties are owned by a particular service. When the activate method is called on a service, it can safely assume that all of its required configuration properties are accessible via protected methods on AbstractService. These methods are called get****ConfigProperty(propertyName). The stars are replaced with one of the four valid types(Integer, Long, Boolean, String)

We add the code below to our plugin.xml:

<extension
         point="com.ibm.team.repository.service.serviceProvider">
      <serviceProvider
            componentId="componentId"
            implementationClass="implementationClass">
            <provides>
            </provides>
         <prerequisites>
            <configurationProperties>
               <configurationProperty
                     accessPolicy="OPEN"
                     default="localhost"
                     description="HOSTNAME"
                     displayableName="HOSTNAME"
                     name="HOSTNAME"
                     required="true"
                     type="STRING"
                     updatePolicy="NO_RESTART_REQUIRED">
               </configurationProperty>
            </configurationProperties>
         </prerequisites>
      </serviceProvider>
   </extension>

but then there isn't any new custom properties at /jazz/admin#action=com.ibm.team.repository.admin.configureAdvanced... Any advice?

Thanks in advance.

Sam, your interface is:

package com.xx.repository.service;
public interface IRepositoryFileService {
    //  ...
}

and your implementation class is:

package com.xx.repository.service;
import com.ibm.team.repository.service.AbstractService;
public class RepositoryFileService extends AbstractService implements IRepositoryFileService {
	public RepositoryFileService() {
		super();
	}
	
	@Override
	public void activate() {
		// ...
	}
}

If so, even the Java code seems like mine...

sounds like your plugin did not load, cause you forgot to identify the service NAME

this is from yours
<provides>
</provides>


this from mine
            <provides>
               <providedservice interface="com.xx.repository.service.IRepositoryFileService"/>
            </provides>

You're right, I forgot to request the Jazz server reset...

Now it works, thanks!

It's all about the answers!
