Hello
The first part for what I need is pretty simple. To be able to create my
plug-in which runs-inside an existing one. For that I can use the
runs-inside element.
My plug-in is exposing many new services for which I would like to be
organized under a single subcategory under the parent. Based on the work
that was done in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=796480 this
is also possible. However, that assumes the subcategory was already
defined in the parent plug-in.
Is it possible to organize my services under a new subcategory under the
parent without modifying the parent plug-in? For example:
The parent plug-in has its own descriptor and can not be modified:
<plugin parent>
<server name="a">
<subcategories>
<subcategory name="foo"/>
</subcategories>
</server>
</plugin>
My custom child plug-in extends the parent plug-in's resource type by
adding new services:
<plugin child>
<service name="a-child" subCategory="bar">
<runs-inside>
<parent-resource-type name="a" plugin="parent">
<subcategories>
<subcategory name="bar" />
<subcategories>
</runs-inside>
</server>
</plugin>
Basically I need the ability to define new subcategories for the parent
plug-in type a from within my custom child plug-in. This will then allow
be to map my new service(s) a-child to the subcategory bar.
Thanks,
