Hi Glenn,

How about a servlet? Is there a similar way to do this without editing web.xml? I
suppose if there was something I could put into the jar that would automatically get an
init method of some kind then I could in theory add my servlet url with java code.
I noticed my Macro component didn't get instantiated/initialized until it was
referenced.
Are there other types of Components I should be aware of?
Thanks for explaining this.
I seem to recall some discussion about automatic
plugin startup
being planned. One of the really nice things about confluence is
that you can add plugins with just a jar file and don't have to
edit .xml configuration files. This also makes upgrades of either
the plugin or wiki easier as everything is in the jar.
Was anything like this added for 2.0 or possibly planned in the near
future?
Yes definitely. This is how it works already. Plugins are the old way
of extending xwiki. The new way is to use components. For example if
you implement a Macro component and put it in WEB-INF/lib it'll be
automatically available.
