Creating Extensions to the Summary Tab

To create vSphere object views, you add portlets to the Summary tab.

You can add a portlet to the Summary tab of a vSphere object by using the vsphere.core.{objectType}.summarySectionViews.html HTML-specific extension point.

Adding Portlets to the Summary Tab

You create portlet views at the <namespace>.summarySectionViews.html extension point by using the generic HtmlView component class.

Adding Portlet Views to the Summary Tab

The following example creates a portlet in the Summary view of a host.

   <extension id="com.vmware.samples.vspherewssdk.host.summary2">
      <extendedPoint>vsphere.core.host.summarySectionViews.html</extendedPoint>
      <object>
         <name>#{summaryView.title}</name>
         <contentSpec>
            <url>/ui/vspherewssdk/resources/host-summary.html</url>
            <dialogTitle>WSSDK Summary Sample</dialogTitle>
            <dialogSize>440,400</dialogSize>
         </contentSpec>
      </object>
   </extension>
