4.180 Plugin Type Management

Plugin types may be managed and accessed with Moab Web Services dynamically, even while running. Operations are provided to upload (add or update) plugin types and to list or show current plugin types. The available fields that are displayed with plugin types are given in Fields: Plugin Types. For more information on how these fields are set, see Plugin Projects and Metadata.

Plugin Type JAR or groovy files should never be manually copied into the MWS_HOME/plugins directory. They must be managed using the methods shown in this section or through the REST API (see Plugin Types).

Bundled plugin types are included automatically in Moab Web Services releases and may be utilized immediately after startup. See Plugin Management for more information on how to utilize these plugin types.

The plugin type documentation is now located in the plugin type management pages. See Plugin Type Documentation for more information.
