Package org.ovirt.engine.api.extensions Description

Extension API for 3rd party components.

Design mission is complete detachment between extension implementation and core product.

Key players:

• ExtMap - Type safe key/value map as a base to exchange information.
• ExtKey - ExtMap key, it bundles UUID and type.
• Extension.invoke(org.ovirt.engine.api.extensions.ExtMap, org.ovirt.engine.api.extensions.ExtMap) - Command invocation.

Both core and extension should access only keys that are known, ignore any other keys. Extension can assume that context is kept throughout the extension life cycle.
