Introduction

WSO2 App Factory supports the development of many types of enterprise applications such as Web apps, JAX-WS Service,  JAX-RS Service, BPEL process, Data Services etc. We work on facilitating all of the commonly-used application types with every new version. In the meantime, if you cannot find a particular application type, you can add it using the <ApplicationType> element in <AF_HOME>/repository/conf/appfactory/appfactory.xml file. It defines maven archetype properties used to generate the project structure.

You can add your own application types into App Factory, provided they are related to the supported types. i.e. Web Applications, JAX-RS, JAX-WS, Jaggery etc.

Sample configuration

Following sample code shows how to add a new application type to App Factory:

<ApplicationType name="war">
	<Property name="ProcessorClassName">org.wso2.carbon.appfactory.utilities.application.type.MavenBasedApplicationTypeProcessor</Property>
	<Property name="DisplayName">Web Application</Property>
	<Property name="Extension">war</Property>
	<Property name="Description">Web Application Archive file</Property>
	<Property name="BuildJobTemplate">maven</Property>
	<Property name="MavenArcheTypeRequest">-DarchetypeGroupId=org.wso2.carbon.appfactory.maven.archetype -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-webapp -DarchetypeVersion=1.0.0 -DgroupId=org.wso2.af -Dversion=SNAPSHOT -DinteractiveMode=false -DarchetypeCatalog=local</Property>
	<Property name="ServerDeploymentPaths">webapps</Property>
	<Property name="Enable">enabled</Property>
</ApplicationType>

The elements of the sample configuration are explained below. You can use this information to edit the file according to your requirements.
