Locating the Component that Generates a Menu

- Director Solutions Architecture - WSO2
Applies To:- WSO2 Carbon 2.0.0 or later.
Here, we have taken the Users and Roles menu-item under the Configure menu as an example.
Step 1
Click on the menu-item, which will open new page on your web browser.
Step 2
Make note of the URL. In this case, the URL would be https://localhost:9443/carbon/userstore/index.jsp?region=region1&item=userstores_menu.
Step 3
In the URL, you will find a parameter named item. Copy the value of this parameter to your clipboard. In this case, the value of the item parameter would be userstores_menu.
Step 4
Search for occurrences of the term userstores_menu in your source code. This can be done through a search application running on your operating system, which is capable of searching inside files (ex:- grep), or with any popular Java IDE (ex:- Eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA, or NetBeans).
Your search results will contain a component.xml file from the location, core/org.wso2.carbon.user.mgt.ui/VERSION/src/main/resources/META-INF/component.xml.
