Artifacts

All Saxbi objects are stored as artifacts in the Saxbi repository. For example, a typical Saxbi repository will contain a Configuration artifact, an Authentication Provider, several Connections, Views, and Selectors. Using XML is advantageous for a few reasons. First, it means that any editor can be used to create, edit, and update artifacts. Second, it allows for artifact syntax to be validated for correctness simply by validating the XML file against its respective schema (note that many XML editors will do this for you). Additionally, storing files as artifacts allows for easy migration and promotion from DEV to QA and PRD environments, and reuse.

The folder containing the Saxbi XML schemas can be found here. Your artifact files will reference these schemas. If using an editor that supports XML validation (such as Eclipse), it will look up the schemas referenced in your artifacts and attempt to validate your file against the schema. Advanced editors can help pinpoint areas of your file that may have some incorrect syntax.
