getConnectorModel

public int getConnectorModel()

Tell the world what model this connector uses for getDocumentIdentifiers(). This must return a model value as specified above.

Specified by:

getConnectorModel in interface org.apache.manifoldcf.crawler.interfaces.IRepositoryConnector

Overrides:

getConnectorModel in class org.apache.manifoldcf.crawler.connectors.BaseRepositoryConnector

Returns:

getSession

protected void getSession()
                   throws org.apache.manifoldcf.core.interfaces.ManifoldCFException,
                          org.apache.manifoldcf.agents.interfaces.ServiceInterruption

Set up the session with Meridio

Throws:

org.apache.manifoldcf.agents.interfaces.ServiceInterruption

getBinNames

public java.lang.String[] getBinNames(java.lang.String documentIdentifier)

Get the bin name string for a document identifier. The bin name describes the queue to which the document will be assigned for throttling purposes. Throttling controls the rate at which items in a given queue are fetched; it does not say anything about the overall fetch rate, which may operate on multiple queues or bins. For example, if you implement a web crawler, a good choice of bin name would be the server name, since that is likely to correspond to a real resource that will need real throttle protection.

Specified by:

getBinNames in interface org.apache.manifoldcf.crawler.interfaces.IRepositoryConnector

Overrides:

getBinNames in class org.apache.manifoldcf.crawler.connectors.BaseRepositoryConnector

Parameters:

documentIdentifier - is the document identifier.

addSeedDocuments

public java.lang.String addSeedDocuments(org.apache.manifoldcf.crawler.interfaces.ISeedingActivity activities,
                                         org.apache.manifoldcf.core.interfaces.Specification spec,
                                         java.lang.String lastSeedVersion,
                                         long seedTime,
                                         int jobMode)

                                         org.apache.manifoldcf.agents.interfaces.ServiceInterruption

Queue "seed" documents. Seed documents are the starting places for crawling activity. Documents are seeded when this method calls appropriate methods in the passed in ISeedingActivity object. This method can choose to find repository changes that happen only during the specified time interval. The seeds recorded by this method will be viewed by the framework based on what the getConnectorModel() method returns. It is not a big problem if the connector chooses to create more seeds than are strictly necessary; it is merely a question of overall work required. The end time and seeding version string passed to this method may be interpreted for greatest efficiency. For continuous crawling jobs, this method will be called once, when the job starts, and at various periodic intervals as the job executes. When a job's specification is changed, the framework automatically resets the seeding version string to null. The seeding version string may also be set to null on each job run, depending on the connector model returned by getConnectorModel(). Note that it is always ok to send MORE documents rather than less to this method. The connector will be connected before this method can be called.

Specified by:

addSeedDocuments in interface org.apache.manifoldcf.crawler.interfaces.IRepositoryConnector

Overrides:

addSeedDocuments in class org.apache.manifoldcf.crawler.connectors.BaseRepositoryConnector

Parameters:

activities - is the interface this method should use to perform whatever framework actions are desired.

spec - is a document specification (that comes from the job).

seedTime - is the end of the time range of documents to consider, exclusive.

lastSeedVersion - is the last seeding version string for this job, or null if the job has no previous seeding version string.

jobMode - is an integer describing how the job is being run, whether continuous or once-only.

Returns:

an updated seeding version string, to be stored with the job.

Throws:

                             org.apache.manifoldcf.agents.interfaces.ServiceInterruption

Process a set of documents. This is the method that should cause each document to be fetched, processed, and the results either added to the queue of documents for the current job, and/or entered into the incremental ingestion manager. The document specification allows this class to filter what is done based on the job. The connector will be connected before this method can be called.

Specified by:

processDocuments in interface org.apache.manifoldcf.crawler.interfaces.IRepositoryConnector

Overrides:

processDocuments in class org.apache.manifoldcf.crawler.connectors.BaseRepositoryConnector

Parameters:

documentIdentifiers - is the set of document identifiers to process.

statuses - are the currently-stored document versions for each document in the set of document identifiers passed in above.

activities - is the interface this method should use to queue up new document references and ingest documents.

jobMode - is an integer describing how the job is being run, whether continuous or once-only.

usesDefaultAuthority - will be true only if the authority in use for these documents is the default one.

View specification. This method is called in the body section of a job's view page. Its purpose is to present the document specification information to the user. The coder can presume that the HTML that is output from this configuration will be within appropriate <html> and <body>tags. The connector will be connected before this method can be called.

Specified by:

viewSpecification in interface org.apache.manifoldcf.crawler.interfaces.IRepositoryConnector

Overrides:

viewSpecification in class org.apache.manifoldcf.crawler.connectors.BaseRepositoryConnector

Parameters:

out - is the output to which any HTML should be sent.

locale - is the locale the output is preferred to be in.

ds - is the current document specification for this job.

connectionSequenceNumber - is the unique number of this connection within the job.

Throws:

org.apache.manifoldcf.core.interfaces.ManifoldCFException

java.io.IOException

getAcls

protected static java.lang.String[] getAcls(org.apache.manifoldcf.core.interfaces.Specification spec)

Grab forced acl out of document specification.

Parameters:

spec - is the document specification.

Returns:

the acls.

                                                      MeridioDataSetException

Returns objects from the Meridio repository matching the document specification, and constrained by the start/end object addition times, and the subset of the total results to return (startPositionOfHits and maxHitsToReturn) The search method can return the results in "batches" results, based on the start position and maximum hits to return.

Parameters:

docSpec - the criteria to determine if an object should be returned

startTime - the date/time after which the object must have been added (inclusive)

endTime - the date/time before which the object must have been added (exclusive)

startPositionOfHits - the starting position in the hits to begin returning results from

maxHitsToReturn - the maximum number of hits to return

restrictDocumentId - if the array is empty then return all matching objects, otherwise Search results are returned in the SEARCHRESULTS_DOCUMENTS DataTable.

Throws:

java.rmi.RemoteException - if an error is encountered call the Meridio web service method(s)

MeridioDataSetException - if an error is encountered manipulating the Meridio DataSet

                                               org.apache.manifoldcf.agents.interfaces.ServiceInterruption

Returns the categories set up in the Meridio system; these are used by the UI for two purposes 1) To populate the "SearchCategory" Use "getPROP_title()" on the list of CATEGORIES object in the return ArrayList 2) To assist with population of the metadata values to return. The available metadata depends on the chosen category

Returns:

Sorted array of strings containing the category names
