Interface: org.sonatype.nexus.proxy.item.ContentGenerator
A content generator is a component that is able to generate content dynamically, on the fly, instead of just serving a static resource. The content generator is registered to respond to a path that corresponds to a file. When the resource is retrieved, Nexus discards the file content and uses the registered content generator to generate content. The Nexus Archetype plugin uses a content generator to generate the archetype-catalog.xml. Every time a client requests the archetype-catalog.xml, the archetype catalog is generated using information from the index.
