Implementation

The framework provides a default implementation of this service, namely o.a.i.core.runtimeservices.menubars.MenuBarsLoaderServiceDefault. This searches for a classpath resource menubars.layout.xml, located ni the root package.

If using the Wicket viewer, the location of this file (and its name) can be overridden using the isis.viewer.wicket.application.menubars-layout-xml configuration property.

For example:

application.yaml
isis:
  viewer:
    wicket:
      application:
        menubars-layout-xml: demoapp/dom/menubars.layout.xml

The default implementaiton supports reloading only in prototype mode.
