Do not set the media type for WSDLs and WSDL resources (it is then automatically set to application/xml). This is done to ensure that the WSDL handler does not intercept the Registry Put operation. |
Add a new collection
Expand the Repository node and select the root collection. Then right click on the collection and you will see the functionalities available. Click Add a new Collection and you will get an editor where you can enter a name, media type and description for the collection.
This editor will act as a normal editor so to add the collection, you have to save the changes done in the editor. To save press ctrl+s and a new collection with the given name will be added to the node that you selected.
In the media type combo box, you have the ability to create your own media type by selecting the Other option.

Create custom content

Using this method, you can import content from a URL. When you give the URL, make sure it does not contain characters like ~ since it is considered as an invalid character for abdera. Name field and media type field will be filled according to the given URL. You have to ability to modify them according to your preference as well.
After adding a resource to your G-Reg project, the resource editor appears. If you close the editor and want to open it again at any point, simply select your registry resource project from the Project Explorer, right click and click Registry Resources Editor.
It is also possible to edit the provided information later. To edit media type or resource description, select the resource, right click on it and select Information from the menu.
