Module Manager

FirstSpirit supports the integration of third-party components. The key component of this integration is the module, which in turn consists of one or more components. Each component uses resources (shared, web local – e.g. classes, Jar archive, properties files), covers a certain scope, has a type (e.g. project application, web application) and certain properties. All of a module's files are compressed in a zip file with the .fsm extension and can then be installed on the FirstSpirit server. The Module Manager is responsible for all functions related to managing modules and components on the FirstSpirit server. The MBean Module Manager provides a list of all modules (fsm files) loaded on the server.

For information on development, class loading and installation of modules, see the FirstSpirit Manual for Developers (Components) (German only).
