12.16. Using Custom Configuration Namespaces

Writing an configuration XSD for your component that extends the base http://www.milyn.org/xsd/smooks-1.1.xsd configuration namespace. This XSD must be supplied on the classpath with your component. It must be located in the /META-INF/ folder and have the same path as the namespace URI. For example, if your extended namespace URI is http://www.acme.com/schemas/smooks/acme-core-1.0.xsd, then the physical XSD file must be supplied on the class-path in /META-INF/schemas/smooks/acme-core-1.0.xsd.

Writing a Smooks configuration namespace mapping configuration file that maps the custom name-space configuration into a SmooksResourceConfiguration instance. This file must be named (by convention) based on the name of the name-space it is mapping and must be physically located on the class-path in the same folder as the XSD. Extending the above example, the Smooks mapping file would be /META-INF/schemas/smooks/acme-core-1.0.xsd-smooks.xml. Note the -smooks.xml postfix.
