A formal description of the syntax of this XML file can be found in the corresponding DTD in
<InstallationDir>/lib/xml/coremedia-editor.dtd. The XML files must obey the DTD, but are not
validated against the DTD. Find the default editor.xml file in the editor-components/editor module in the
development workspace of CoreMedia Project.
In the following section, the configuration of the Site Manager via the
file editor.xml is described.
Note
The BeanParser, that is used to parse the Site Manager configuration allows you to configure all bean properties of the beans that are introduced in the following. Since not all configuration hooks will be explained, it's always a good idea to consult the Javadoc and discover all configuration possibilities.
