@ExtendedObjectClassDefinition configuration page not available
New Member Posts: 5 Join Date: 3/13/09 Recent Posts
Hi all,
I have a simple configuration class with some properties
@ExtendedObjectClassDefinition(scope = Scope.SYSTEM, category = "third-party")
@Meta.OCD(localization = "content/Language", name = "queue-publisher-configuration-name", description = "queue-publisher-configuration-description")
public interface QueuePublisherConfiguration {

    @Meta.AD(deflt = "admin", description = "username-description", name = "username", required = false)
    public String username();
}
but when i deploy the package there is no configuration page in Control Panel -> System Settings -> Third Party ... I'm missing something but what ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Gianluca,

Did you make sure to add the this line to you bnd?​​​​​​​ 
[code]-metatype: *

.. I ask only because I have forgotten this line in the past (many times) and I believe that might be one of the things that is required to make it all wire up correctly.
This line lets bnd use your configuration interface to generate an XML configuration file. This provides a lot of information about your application’s configuration options. Enough, in fact, to generate a System Settings user interface automatically.

Also, the category you specified will appear in the "other" section, likely with third-party as a name if you haven't provided a language key. I mention this just in case you are looking for a heading (panel) called third-party
