Importer Manual / Version 2207
Table Of Contents
Each importer needs a configuration file named after the importer and with the extension
properties in the directory properties/corem or
WEB-INF/properties/corem, if installed as web application. The Blueprint
example module importer-config contains the file cm-xmlimport.properties,
which serves as a template for such configuration files.
To install an XML importer make a copy of the file cm-xmlimport.properties in the
same directory and rename the copy to <name>.properties where
name is the name of the importer. The importer name must
match the name of the jpif start file if the importer is used as command-line or
the servlet context name if deployed as web application. See
Section 3.3, “Deployment and Operation of a Standalone Importer” and
Section 3.4, “Deployment and Operation of a Web Application Importer” for a description of the
different deployment modes. The following table describes the general configuration in the
properties file.
Note
Any Java classes referenced in the properties configuration file (for
example the multiResultGeneratorFactory or transformers) must be specified
with fully qualified names.
import.user
| |
| Value | String |
| Default | importer |
| Description | The name of the CoreMedia user with which the importer logs on. Make sure that the user has the rights required to carry out operations triggered by the import process, for example, creating a new document, editing, approving, publishing. For this purpose, the standard CoreMedia installation offers a predefined user called importer (password also importer). |
import.password
| |
| Value | String |
| Default | importer |
| Description | The password of the user to log in with. |
import.autoLogoutSeconds
| |
| Value | int |
| Default | -1 |
| Description | This property defines the time of inactivity in seconds after which the importer should log out. When the importer is active again, it will log in at the server automatically. A value of "-1" means that the importer will not log out. |
import.multiResultGeneratorFactory.property.sleepingSeconds
| |
| Value | int |
| Default | -1 |
| Description | An importer remains logged in per default, whether data are imported or not.
When configuring SubDirGenerators, the property defines the number of
seconds for the importer to be inactive after the completion of the import. If the
number of seconds is very large, it is reasonable to log out the importer
automatically. In this case, the released importer license can be used by another
importer. Note that the special value "-1" will cause the importer to terminate after
importing the contents of the inbox directories. |
Table 3.1. Properties of the cm-xmlimport.properties file
The following configuration deals with the preparation and transformation of source documents. Both are generic, thanks to the importer API. Since this part of the configuration depends on the source format, this part of the configuration should be conducted by the respective developer himself.
import.loginTimeoutSeconds
| |
| Value | long |
| Default | -1 |
| Description | This property defines the timeout for login attempts after which the
importer aborts. If import.loginTimeoutSeconds=-1, the importer tries to login
forever without abortion. |
import.enforceCompleteVersion
| |
| Value | Boolean |
| Default | true |
| Description |
This property handles the processing of XML importer files. See Section 4.1, “The CoreMedia XML Format” for details on the CoreMedia XML format.
|
import.validate-textproperty
| |
| Value | Boolean |
| Default | false |
| Description | If "true" the importer validates all XML text properties against the associated DTD. If a validation fails, no document is created on the server. For big XML properties the validation may take some time. |
import.removeBrokenLinks
| |
| Value | Boolean |
| Default | false |
| Description | If "true" the importer removes broken content links in link list and markup properties. In markup
properties only the link tag (a or img) is removed, not the containing link text.
Be careful when enabling this option, as it may lead to invalid XML in markup properties. |
import.entityResolverClass
| |
| Value | class name |
| Default | see description |
| Description | Configures the name of a class of type org.xml.sax.EntityResolver used to resolve entities
in markup properties during XML validation. The default value is com.coremedia.xml.ClasspathURLEntityResolver. |
