I took a quick glance.&nbsp; In order for your table to get created, you need to implement the install() and uninstall() methods of the connector.&nbsp; See the web connector for an example.&nbsp; These methods should call your appropriate table manager methods.

BEFORE you do this you want to unregister your output connector using the appropriate "unregisteroutput" command via shell script.&nbsp; If you don't then when you start up Manifold you will get an exception, because it's trying to tear down a table that doesn't yet exist.&nbsp; It is at registration time that the install() method will be called.

In reply to a comment by Farzad:
So I managed to get my connector built and running.  The goals was to create a table in the database and see it populate with some unique string, my name :) I encountered two problems, the job never ends, my file set was 9.  It said 9 processed, but also 6 active, and never showed an end date.  Also I thought I created a table in the db called "filedata", but when I browse the database with phpPgAdmin, I don't see that under Schemas\public\Tables.  Any thoughts?  I will admit I'm struggling to grasp the flow. If there are other reading materials or links you think will remove the fog, please share.

I upload my dupfinder connector source directory, as well as the modules\build.xml file to http://www.farzad.net/manifoldcf/.
