Configuring a Service

Once the Service is developed it needs to be configured and tested.

Navigate to the /conf folder and create a file called myservice.conf.xml.

The file do not have to be the name of the service since the configuration will specify what service is being used. It is thus possible to have different aliases of a specific service.

The Configuration File

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><services>

<service name="print" primary="true">

<title>Home</title>

<description>MyService Configuration</description>

<layout id="main" node="article" />

<parameters>

<parameter name="view" value="blog" />

</parameters>

</service>

<service name="print">

<layout id="header" node="header" />

<parameters>

<parameter name="view" value="header" />

</parameters>

</service>

<service name="print">

<layout id="footer" node="footer" />

<parameters>

<parameter name="view" value="footer" />

</parameters>

</service>

</services>

Testing the Service

To Test the service simply point your browser to http://your.domain/myservice

Fun thing to do. See if you can display different text for each layout node using the print service according to parameters passed to get. I.e. modify your service code
