1.5 Understanding Site Studio Site Files

In JDeveloper, Site Studio site files are located in the sites directory of your Site Studio project from the main menu, select View, then Application Navigator, then Projects , then expand Web Content, then expand WEB_INF and then expand sites. Site Studio site files are XML files that store the data and configuration information for the Site Studio site. These XML files are maintained on JDeveloper, but all content resides on the content server. The site files contain site-related information including: ■ The site hierarchy. ■ Properties of each site section including associated page templates, region templates, and content files, and custom section properties. ■ Explicit data file associations for example, which content files are used and their location in the site. ■ Mappings of placeholder names to placeholder definitions. ■ Items in the asset pane including how they are categorized.
