Component Browser
This option displays the Escenic component browser. The component browser is a web application that you can use to:
-
View current configuration parameter settings of the Content Engine, its associated web applications and publications.
-
Find out where the current configuration parameter settings come from (that is, which particular configuration files they are set in).
-
Temporarily modify configuration parameter settings.
Content Engine
components are uniquely identified by fully qualified names consisting
of a path and a name. The
Content Engine's
article list cache component, for example, has the following fully
qualified name:
/neo/io/content/cache/ArticleListCache
. The
components, in other words, are effectively organized in a tree
structure. The component browser lets you navigate this tree structure
and view the properties of
Content Engine
components.
To view the properties of the ArticleListCache
component, for example, you would need to click on Component
browser > neo >
io > content >
cache > ArticleListCache.
A page of information about the ArticleListCache
component is then displayed. It is divided into three sections:
Properties, Methods and
Service Information.
