Abstract
A method enables the administration of resources (content) in web packages. By automatically adding a prefix to the resource name causing a name conflict, even resources having the same name can be handled when installing a new web package by the virtual file system mapping the resources to which a prefix has been added to the physical content required for the web application.
Claims6
A method for installing a web package within a manufacturing executing system (MES), the web package having web application resources, which comprises the steps of:
- providing a file system via an operation system running the MES;
- providing a virtual file system within the MES;
- incorporating a virtual path provider class within the MES for implementing the virtual file system for Web applications;
- running the virtual path provider to supply contents of enable/installed web packages to the virtual file system and building a name structure that maps a virtual url with content details before a new web package is going to be installed;
- checking whether a resource name already exists in the name structure for each resource to be processed and comprised in the new web package to be installed;
- installing the resource in case of an absence of a name conflict or applying a prefix for entire resources of the web package to be installed and storing the name and the prefix to the virtual file system;
- and
- when the resource is required by a web application, checking in the name structure whether the resource exists and in case the resource name contains the prefix, opening a corresponding web package and retrieving the content of the resource by its physical name.
