Re: [Exist-development] EXPath Crypto specification & eXist-db implementation

Claudius, 

.xar files are ordinary zip files and I usually create them from ant. The xar needs to have three descriptors: expath-pkg.xml, repo.xml and exist.xml. Copy the first two from another app (or generate one via eXide). exist.xml lists the jars, e.g. as follows:

<package xmlns="http://exist-db.org/ns/expath-pkg">
<jar>math-0.1.jar</jar>
<java>
<namespace>http://exist-db.org/xquery/math</namespace>
<class>org.exist.xquery.modules.math.MathModule</class>
</java>
</package>


Any jar files should be put into a directory having the same name as the abbreviated name of the project (see abbrev in expath-pkg.xml). eXist-db will pick up those jars without requiring a restart.
