Adding a Custom Test Page

Developing a Custom Test Page

MDWorkbench Server does not provide a generic web page to test structure providers, as required parameters cannot be determined without knowledge of each specific structure provider.

You might contribute a specific Web page to test your structure provider. For that you need to add a Web page. This web page must define a web form to enter required parameters to query your structure provider. It will use a REST interface to request the structure provider.

Linking the Custom Test Page

Once the custom Web page is developed, you can update the related structure provider declaration to enable a direct link to this test page.

Here are the steps to link the custom test page:

1. Edit the plug-in MANIFEST file of the plug-in that declares the structure provider.
2. Select the Extensions tab, select the structure provider declaration and right-click New > testPage.
3. Enter the relative URL of a Web page used to test the structure provider (e.g. /web/mycompany/mystructure).
4. Save the MANIFEST file.

The MDWorkbench Server Structure integration page then shows a link to the custom test page when the corresponding structure provider is selected.
