Advanced customization tasks

You might find it advantageous to perform advanced customization in certain situations.

Defining and customizing extended properties with the attribute descriptor file
The attribute descriptor file (attr-descriptor.xml) is used to define and customize extended properties (or attributes). It can be associated with each page, portlet, or URL in the navigation hierarchy.
Adding custom extended properties
You can add custom extended properties through the attr-descriptor.xml file.
Customizing the aggregator to utilize custom properties
You can customize the aggregator to utilize custom attributes or rules.
Adding custom device requirement rule properties
Creating a new custom device requirement rule is similar to adding a new attribute, except that an additional <Rule-Info> element is associated with the attribute to provide rule information. A rule type must be specified for each group or attribute associated with a rule.
Setting anonymous access on the User role for the Mobile News page
You can set anonymous access on the User role for the Mobile News page.
Setting anonymous access on the User role for the SC Mobile News portlet
You can set anonymous access on the User role for the Mobile News portlet.
Updating the name of the preload notice data source
By default, Mobile Portal Accelerator creates a data source with the name jdbc/mpaplnDS for accessing the preload notice tables. If you want to change the name of this data source (for example, if you already have another data source with the same name), you can create your own data source to access the preload notice tables.
Updating the schema name for preload notice tables
When you install Mobile Portal Accelerator, the preload notice tables are created with a schema name that matches the user name for the customization database. You can change this schema name after the installation is complete.
