      org.modeshape.sequencer.text.AbstractTextSequencer

Direct Known Subclasses:

DelimitedTextSequencer, FixedWidthTextSequencer

@ThreadSafe
public abstract class AbstractTextSequencer
extends Sequencer

The base class for the text sequencers. This class treats the text to be sequenced as a series of rows, with each row delimited by a line terminator. Concrete subclasses provide their own mechanisms for splitting a row of data into a series of columns.

This class provides some fundamental capabilities, including the ability to set a comment marker, limit the number of lines to be read from a file, and provide custom transformations from the sets of columns to the graph structure.

Method Detail

initialize

public void initialize(NamespaceRegistry registry,
                       NodeTypeManager nodeTypeManager)
                throws RepositoryException,
                       IOException

Description copied from class: Sequencer

Initialize the sequencer. This is called automatically by ModeShape once for each Sequencer instance, and should not be called by the sequencer.

By default this method does nothing, so it should be overridden by implementations to do a one-time initialization of any internal components. For example, sequencers can use the supplied registry and nodeTypeManager objects to register custom namesapces and node types required by the generated content.

Overrides:

initialize in class Sequencer

Parameters:

registry - the namespace registry that can be used to register custom namespaces; never null

nodeTypeManager - the node type manager that can be used to register custom node types; never null

Throws:

RepositoryException - if operations on the NamespaceRegistry or NodeTypeManager fail

IOException - if any stream based operations fail (like importing cnd files)

execute

public boolean execute(Property inputProperty,
                       Node outputNode,
                       Sequencer.Context context)
                throws Exception

Description copied from class: Sequencer

Execute the sequencing operation on the specified property, which has recently been created or changed.

Each sequencer is expected to process the value of the property, extract information from the value, and write a structured representation (in the form of a node or a subgraph of nodes) using the supplied output node. Note that the output node will either be:

1. the selected node, in which case the sequencer was configured to generate the output information directly under the selected input node; or
2. a newly created node in a different location than node being sequenced (in this case, the primary type of the new node will be 'nt:unstructured', but the sequencer can easily change that using Node.setPrimaryType(String))

The implementation is expected to always clean up all resources that it acquired, even in the case of exceptions.

Note: This method must be threadsafe: ModeShape will likely invoke this method concurrently in separate threads, and the method should never modify the state or fields of the Sequencer implementation class. All initialization should be performed in Sequencer.initialize(NamespaceRegistry, NodeTypeManager).

Specified by:

execute in class Sequencer

Parameters:

inputProperty - the property that was changed and that should be used as the input; never null

outputNode - the node that represents the output for the derived information; never null, and will either be new if the output is being placed outside of the selected node, or will not be new when the output is to be placed on the selected input node

context - the context in which this sequencer is executing, and which may contain additional parameters useful when generating the output structure; never null

Returns:

true if the sequencer's output should be saved, or false otherwise

Throws:

Exception - if there was a problem with the sequencer that could not be handled. All exceptions will be logged automatically as errors by ModeShape.

setCommentMarker

public void setCommentMarker(String commentMarker)

Sets the comment marker to use. Any line that begins with the comment marker will be ignored and will not be counted as a read line for the purposes of the maximum line limitation.

Parameters:

commentMarker - the string that indicates that the line is a comment and should be ignored; null indicates that there is no comment marker

getCommentMarker

public String getCommentMarker()

Returns:

the current comment marker; may be null

getMaximumLinesToRead

public int getMaximumLinesToRead()

Returns:

the maximum number of lines to read when sequencing; non-positive numbers indicate that all lines should be read and sequenced

setMaximumLinesToRead

public void setMaximumLinesToRead(int maximumLinesToRead)

Sets the maximum number of lines to read. When this number is reached during the sequencing of any particular stream, the stream will be closed and remaining lines (if any) will be ignored. Comment lines do not count towards the number of lines read.

Parameters:

maximumLinesToRead - the maximum number of lines to read; a non-positive number indicates that all lines should be read and sequenced.

getRowFactoryClassName

public String getRowFactoryClassName()

Returns:

the current row factory class name; may not be null

setRowFactoryClassName

public void setRowFactoryClassName(String rowFactoryClassName)

Sets the custom row factory class name.

Parameters:

rowFactoryClassName - the fully-qualified class name of the new custom row factory implementation; null indicates that the default row factory should be used.

parseLine

protected abstract String[] parseLine(String row)

Parse the given row into its constituent columns.

Parameters:

row - the row to be parsed

Returns:

an array of columns; never null
