MidCOM Component Manifest
From OpenPSA Wiki
Manifests were introduced in MidCOM 2.5.1. They contain all meta-information the framework requires for its general treatment of a MidCOM Component and make Components accessible without actually loading them, which is helpful for MidCOM ACL, among other things. The Component Manifest is also used for PEAR packaging and contains information like dependencies.
The main elements of the manifest are basic data like component name, version number and stability. Apart from that, custom MgdSchema classes of the Component have to be referenced here. Another important aspect are MidCOM Watches, which can be defined to make the component react to object changes outside of its' scope.
