Jigsaw resources index

This index briefly describes what resources are currently available in the Jigsaw release. See the indexer documentation to understand how these resources are created by default.

To be more readable, the list of available resources has been split into three groups:

Root resources: Resources suitable to be used as the root of your server, as defined by the w3c.jigsaw.root.name general property.
Standard resources: Resources that you expect any server to support.
Extension resources: Basic resources, or resources that implement extra protocols.
Admin resources: Resources that allow you to administer Jigsaw.
Property resources: Resources that wraps a sub-set of Jigsaw properties in order to make themn editable.
