Project XML

A package can be registered in XML using the project.xml format. Here is an example.

File listing: example-123.jar.xml

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
 <!DOCTYPE project PUBLIC "-//ControlTier Software Inc.//DTD Project Document 1.0//EN" 
   "project.dtd">
 <project>
 <package 
     arch="noarch"
     base="example-jar"
     buildtime="2008061570109" 
     description="The example jar package." 
     filename="example-123.jar" 
     filetype="jar" 
     installroot="${env.CTIER_ROOT}/demo/example"
     installrank="1" 
     name="example-123.jar" 
     release=""
     releasetag=""
     repoUrl="/jar/jars/example-123.jar"
     restart="false"
     type="jar"
     vendor=""
     version="123"
    />
 </project>

You can load this XML file using the ProjectBuilder load-objects command like so:

 ctl -p project -m ProjectBuilder -c load-objects -- -filename example-123.jar.xml

Querying

Use the ProjectBuilder find-objects command to list all "jar" packages:

  $ ctl -p demo -m ProjectBuilder -c find-objects -- -type jar
  |
  |--(jar) example-123.jar

For a graphical alternative, you can use the Graphical resource editor and view the "jar" packages there.

Go to the Package list. You will see it list all "jar" packages.
