|--------|--------------------------------|
|        | Menu                           |
|        | Quickbar                       |

Directory Layout per Module

wwwroot-admin/modules/MODULENAME

• module.props
• module.lang.props
• jsp, images, javascripts etc per module
• one "main.jsp" (defined in module.props->module.main) displayed in the Main content area
• one "nav.jsp" (defined in module.props->module.nav)
• one "info.jsp" (defined in module.props->module.infostart)

All defined modulepages are being load on first call of the module, except nav.jsp, which will be called everytime the user clicks on navigation on the module List area. The administration pages automatically look for the module.props and module.lang.props load them und use the information within to create the elements like the menu, the quickbar and the module entry in the list.
