assemble-connector.xml - Contains the instructions to create the connector archive (ZIP) file.

connector.xml - Defines Defines the connector name, package, and the different categories of operations that will be exposed for the connector. For example, the JIRA connector's connector.xml file looks like this:

Code Block

language	html/xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<connector>
    <component name="jira" package="org.wso2.carbon.connectors">
        <dependency component="jira_config" />
        <dependency component="jira_dashboard"/>
        <dependency component="jira_filter"/>
        <dependency component="jira_group"/>
        <dependency component="jira_issue" />
        <dependency component="jira_project" />
        <dependency component="jira_search" />
        <dependency component="jira_user" />
        <description>JIRA 6.0 cloud connector</description>
    </component>
</connector>

For each of the categories you specify, you create a corresponding directory (as shown above in the directory tree), each of which contains a component.xml file.

component.xml - Contains information about the operations in this category. For example, in the jira_filter directory, the component.xml file looks like this:

Code Block

language	html/xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<component name="jira_filter" type="synapse/template">
    <subComponents>
        <component name="createFilter">
            <file>createFilter.xml</file>
            <description>Creates a new filter, and returns newly 
created filter. Currently sets permissions just using the users default 
sharing permissions</description>
        </component>
        <component name="deleteFilter">
            <file>deleteFilter.xml</file>
            <description>Delete a filter.</description>
        </component>
        <component name="getFavouriteFilters">

            <file>getFilterById.xml</file>
            <description>Returns a filter given an id</description>
        </component>
        <component name="updateFilterById">
            <file>updateFilterById.xml</file>
            <description>Updates an existing filter, and returns its new value.</description>
