Typically, OpenEdge Management is a Web application designed to be isolated from other Web applications. The extension framework restricts direct access to OpenEdge Management internals.
To allow third-party Web applications to access OpenEdge Management internals, a standard Java Web application servlet listener is written. This servlet listener searches for and loads necessary configuration files that have required contributor classes. This avoids hosting of third-party Web application JAR files in the OpenEdge Management Web application without restricting extensions to OpenEdge Management.
