Declaring A Namespace

Manually in the  web console

Declaring a namespace (prefix) can e.g. be done in the repository web console (http://localhost:8080/cms/console/) via clicking 'Add namespace'. Write to the repository via the appropiate button. This has immediate effect on a running repository and will be saved in your repository. It will be lost if your repository is in your target/ folder (as default) and you do 'mvn clean install'.

During initialization of the the repository

This is done in the file src/main/resources/hippoecm-extensions.xml.

   <sv:node sv:name="hst_docs">
    <sv:property sv:name="jcr:primaryType" sv:type="Name">
      <sv:value>hippo:initializeitem</sv:value>
    </sv:property>
    <sv:property sv:name="hippo:sequence" sv:type="Double">
      <sv:value>10050</sv:value>
    </sv:property>
    <sv:property sv:name="hippo:namespace" sv:type="String">
      <sv:value>http://www.hippoecm.org/hst/nt/hst_docs/1.0</sv:value>
    </sv:property>
    <sv:property sv:name="hippo:nodetypesresource" sv:type="String">
      <sv:value>hst_docs-types.cnd</sv:value>
    </sv:property>
  </sv:node>

For other hippo:initializeitem entries in hippoecm-extensions.xml the name of the node is of no concern, but for cnd imports, the name is the prefix. The URl is defined in the property hippo:namespace.
