Index source configuration

An index source is a configuration of Cms resources to be indexed.

<indexsource>
	<name>...</name>
	<indexer class="..." />
	<resources>
		<resource>...</resource>
	</resources>
	<documenttypes-indexed>
		<name>...</name>´
		...
	</documenttypes-indexed>				
</indexsource>

Configuration nodes

• the <name> node gives the index source a unique name. the value of the <source> nodes in an index configuration and the value of a <name> node in an index source configuration have to match
• the <indexer> node specifies the package/class name of the indexer used to pull the content of Cms resources into Lucene index documents using the document factories configured in the documenttype nodes
• each <resource> node specifies a Cms resource (typically a folder) to be indexed, including it's full site root
• each <name> node below the <documenttypes-indexed> node specifies the name of a resource type to be indexed within the specified Cms resources. the value of a <name> node here has to match the value of a <name> node configured above in the <documenttype> nodes.

Example 1

This example shows how to configure the index source for all VFS resources in the default site:

<indexsource>
	<name>source1</name>
	<indexer class="org.opencms.search.CmsVfsIndexer" />
	<resources>
		<resource>/sites/default/</resource>
	</resources>
	<documenttypes-indexed>
		<name>xmlpage</name>
		<name>page</name>
		<name>text</name>
		<name>pdf</name>
		<name>msword</name>
		<name>msexcel</name>
		<name>image</name>
		<name>generic</name>				
	</documenttypes-indexed>				
</indexsource>

Example 2

This example shows how to configure the index source for the data of a COS module:

<indexsource>
	<name>source3</name>
	<indexer class="com.opencms.legacy.CmsCosIndexer">
		<param name="displayuri">/shownews.html</param>
		<param name="displayparam">id</param>				
	</indexer>
	<resources>
		<resource>/news/</resource>
	</resources>		
	<documenttypes-indexed>
		<name>news</name>
	</documenttypes-indexed>
</indexsource>
