Contributing a Gadget to the Hub Policy Administrator

You must contribute a gadget to the Hub Policy Administrator to administer managed events.

Procedure

  1. Deploy an application (GWT or JavaScript) to the webserver.
  2. Contribute a deployed gadget to Openspace.
    1. Click on a tab to display the Gadgets panel.
    2. Select More Gadgets > Contribute Gadget.
    3. For the Gadget Spec URL, enter the URL of the application created in step 1.
    4. For the Hub Policy URL, enter the Hub Policy URL.
      When a gadget is contributed a URI is specified to a HubPolicy file. The HubPolicy is required for Openspace to publish Managed Events. The HubPolicy file defines the URL the gadget is loaded from and the topics associated with either Managed Events or PageBusMessages the gadget is allowed to publish and subscribe to.
    5. Enter a Name and Description for the gadget you are creating.
    6. Select Import Gadget.
    When you have contributed a policy, the HubPolicy Administrator page appears showing the HubPolicy you have contributed. All access will initially be set to not granted and this view of the HubPolicy Administrator is read only.
  3. Select Close. This loads the gadget onto the palette.
  4. Select the gadget on the palette and select Add Gadget.
  5. Select Manage Gadgets > Communication.
    The Hub Policy Administrator is displayed as a tree of checkbox elements (it adds the new hub policy to the list). Each item that is checked is granted permission and each that is not checked is denied permission.
