org.eclipse.smila.processing.pipelets.xmlprocessing.XmlSplitterPipelet
Description
This pipelet splits an XML stream into multiple XML snippets. For each snippet a new record is created where the XML snippet is stored in either an attribute or attachment. The created records are not returned as a PipeletResult (this is just the same as the incoming RecordIds) but are directly sent to the ConnectivityManager and are routed once more to the queue.
On each created record the annotation MessageProperties is set with the key-value pair isXmlSnippet=true. This can be used in Listener rules to select particular XML snippets for processing.
Configuration
Property | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
inputType | String : ATTACHMENT, ATTRIBUTE | Defines whether the XML input is found in an attachment or in an attribute of the record. An input attribute is not interpreted as to contain XML content itself but rather as a file path or an URL to the XML document. |
outputType | String : ATTACHMENT, ATTRIBUTE | Defines whether the XML snippet should be stored in an attachment or in an attribute of the newly created record. |
inputName | String | The name of the input attachment or the path to the input attribute. |
outputName | String | The name of the output attachment or the path to the output attribute (store result as literals of attribute). |
beginTagName | String | The name of the tag to start the XML snippet with. |
isBeginClosingTag | Boolean | A boolean flag defining whether beginTagName is a closing tag (true) or not (false). |
endTagName | String | The name of the tag to end the xml snippet with. |
isEndClosingTag | Boolean | A boolean flag defining whether endTagName is a closing tag (true) or not (false). |
keyTagName | String | The name of the tag used to create a record ID. |
maxBufferSize | Integer | The maximum size of the internal record buffer (optional, default is 20). |
idSeparator | String | The separator used to create the record IDs of the split records (optional, default is "#"). |
Example
Pipelet configuration for XmlSplitterPipelet
<proc:configuration> <rec:Val key="inputType">ATTRIBUTE<rec:Val> <rec:Val key="outputType">ATTRIBUTE<rec:Val> <rec:Val key="inputName">xmlIn<rec:Val> <rec:Val key="outputName">xmlOut<rec:Val> <rec:Val key="beginTagName">document<rec:Val> <rec:Val key="isBeginClosingTag">false<rec:Val> <rec:Val key="endTagName">document<rec:Val> <rec:Val key="isEndClosingTag">true<rec:Val> <rec:Val key="keyTagName">docId<rec:Val> <rec:Val key="idSeparator">#<rec:Val> </proc:configuration>
The above configuration would split this XML format:
<sampleCollection> ... <document> <docId>4711</docId> <title>Some title</title> ... <text>Some text</text> </document> <document> <docId>0815</docId> ... </document> ... </sampleCollection>
into XML snippets like this one:
<document> <docId>4711</docId> <title>Some title</title> ... <text>Some text</text> </document>
And for each snippet a record would be created:
<Record xmlns="http://www.eclipse.org/smila/record" version="2.0"> <Val key="_recordid">xmlsplitter:someBigXmlfile.xml#4711</Val> <Val key="_source">xmlsplitter</Val> <Map key="_messageProperties"> <Val key="isXmlSnippet">true</Val> </Map <Val key="xmlOut"> <document> <docId>4711</docId> <title>Some title</title> ... <text>Some text</text> </document> </Val> </Record>
The Listener rules to split the XML files and to process the XML snippets could look like this:
<Rule Name="Splitter Rule" WaitMessageTimeout="10" Threads="2" MaxMessageBlockSize="1"> <Source BrokerId="broker1" Queue="SMILA.connectivity"/> <Condition>Operation='ADD' and DataSourceID LIKE '%xmlsplitting%' and NOT(isXmlSnippet='true')</Condition> <Task> <Process Workflow="SplitterPipeline"/> </Task> </Rule> <Rule Name="Snippet Rule" WaitMessageTimeout="10" Threads="4" MaxMessageBlockSize="20"> <Source BrokerId="broker1" Queue="SMILA.connectivity"/> <Condition>Operation='ADD' and DataSourceID LIKE '%xmlsplitting%' and isXmlSnippet='true'</Condition> <Task> <Process Workflow="Snippetipeline"/> </Task> </Rule>
