Interface Importer

All Known Implementing Classes:

SessionImporter, WorkspaceImporter

public interface Importer

Content importer. The XML import handlers use this interface to submit the parsed content to the repository. The implementation of this class decides how the content is actually persisted; either through the transient space of a session, or directly into the workspace.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	end() Called once at the end of the content import.
void	endNode(NodeInfo nodeInfo) Called to end the import of a node.
void	start() Called once at the beginning of the content import.
void	startNode(NodeInfo nodeInfo, List<PropInfo> propInfos) Called to start the import of a node.

Method Detail

start

void start()
    throws RepositoryException

Called once at the beginning of the content import.

Throws:

RepositoryException - on a repository error

startNode

void startNode(NodeInfo nodeInfo,
               List<PropInfo> propInfos)
        throws RepositoryException

Called to start the import of a node. Information about the imported node and all it's properties are passed as arguments. Possible child nodes are imported recursively using this same method until a endNode(NodeInfo) call is made with the same node information.

Parameters:

nodeInfo - information about the node being imported

propInfos - information about the properties being imported (list of PropInfo instances)

Throws:

RepositoryException - on a repository error

endNode

void endNode(NodeInfo nodeInfo)
      throws RepositoryException

Called to end the import of a node. This method is called after a startNode(NodeInfo, List) call with the stame node information and after all the possible child nodes have been imported with respective startNode/endNode calls.

Just like XML elements, the startNode/endNode calls are guaranteed to be properly nested and complete.

Parameters:

nodeInfo - information about the node being imported

Throws:

RepositoryException - on a repository error

end

void end()
  throws RepositoryException

Called once at the end of the content import.

Throws:

RepositoryException - on a repository error
