The MANIFEST file

A Genero Archive MANIFEST file is a simple XML file providing the list of applications and services to make available. The MANIFEST file MUST be included in any Genero Archive file. You must create a MANIFEST file for each archive you create.

A MANIFEST file has a MANIFEST element at its root. Child elements can include:

One DESCRIPTION element. The DESCRIPTION element provides a textual description of the archive. It displays when listing archives.
0, 1 or more APPLICATION elements. The APPLICATION element takes two mandatory attributes. The name attribute specifies the name of the application, and the xcf attribute specifies the path to the application configuration file. The application configuration file must be in the archive. Include an APPLICATION element for each application in the archive.
0, 1 or more SERVICE elements. The SERVICE element takes two mandatory attributes. The name attribute specifies the name of the application, and the xcf attribute specifies the path to the Web service configuration file. The Web service configuration file must be in the archive. Include an SERVICE element for each service in the archive.

Sample MANIFEST file:

<MANIFEST>

  <APPLICATION xcf='xcf/app1.xcf' />
  <APPLICATION xcf='xcf/app2.xcf' />
  <SERVICE xcf='xcf/serv1.xcf' />
  <SERVICE xcf='xcf/serv2.xcf' />
</MANIFEST>
