Class SubAttributeExtractorPipelet

java.lang.Object
  org.eclipse.smila.processing.pipelets.SubAttributeExtractorPipelet

All Implemented Interfaces:

Pipelet

public class SubAttributeExtractorPipelet
extends java.lang.Object
implements Pipelet

Extracts Literal values from an attribute that has a nested MObject. The attributes in the nested MObject can have nested MOBjects themselves. To address a attribute in the nested structure a path needs to be specified. The pipelet supports different execution modes:

FIRST: selects only the first Literal of the specified attribute

LAST: selects only the last Literal of the specified attribute

ALL_AS_LIST: selects all Literal values of the specified attribute and returns a list

ALL_AS_ONE: selects all Literal values of the specified attribute and concatenates them to a single string, using a seperator (default is blank)

Method Detail

configure

public void configure(AnyMap configuration)
               throws ProcessingException

Specified by:

configure in interface Pipelet

Parameters:

configuration - configuration of pipelet.

Throws:

ProcessingException - configuration is not applicable for pipelet (missing properties, wrong datatypes)

process

public java.lang.String[] process(Blackboard blackboard,
                                  java.lang.String[] recordIds)
                           throws ProcessingException

process given records.

Specified by:

process in interface Pipelet

Parameters:

blackboard - Blackboard holding and managing the records.

recordIds - Ids of records to process.

Returns:

Ids of records to be passed into the next pipelet. By default this should be the same as the passed in recordIds unless there is a specific (businesslogic) reason not to do so.

Throws:

ProcessingException - error during processing.
