Constructor Detail

RawFeedEditPlugIn

public RawFeedEditPlugIn()

Default constructor (required).

Method Detail

getPlugInName

public java.lang.String getPlugInName()

Get a displayable name for the plug-in.

Specified by:

getPlugInName in interface PlugIn

Returns:

the name

getPlugInSortKey

public java.lang.String getPlugInSortKey()

Get the sort key for this plug-in.

Specified by:

getPlugInSortKey in interface PlugIn

Returns:

the sort key string.

initPlugIn

public void initPlugIn()
                throws CurnException

Initialize the plug-in. This method is called before any of the plug-in methods are called.

Specified by:

initPlugIn in interface PlugIn

Throws:

CurnException - on error

runFeedConfigItemPlugIn

public boolean runFeedConfigItemPlugIn(java.lang.String sectionName,
                                       java.lang.String paramName,
                                       CurnConfig config,
                                       FeedInfo feedInfo)
                                throws CurnException

Called immediately after curn has read and processed a configuration item in a "feed" configuration section. All configuration items are passed, one by one, to each loaded plug-in. If a plug-in class is not interested in a particular configuration item, this method should simply return without doing anything. Note that some configuration items may simply be variable assignment; there's no real way to distinguish a variable assignment from a blessed configuration item.

Specified by:

runFeedConfigItemPlugIn in interface FeedConfigItemPlugIn

Parameters:

sectionName - the name of the configuration section where the item was found

paramName - the name of the parameter

config - the active configuration

feedInfo - partially complete FeedInfo object for the feed. The URL is guaranteed to be present, but no other fields are.

Returns:

true to continue processing the feed, false to skip it

Throws:

CurnException - on error

runPostFeedDownloadPlugIn

public boolean runPostFeedDownloadPlugIn(FeedInfo feedInfo,
                                         java.io.File feedDataFile,
                                         java.lang.String encoding)
                                  throws CurnException

Called immediately after a feed is downloaded. This method can return false to signal curn that the feed should be skipped. For instance, a plug-in that filters on the unparsed XML feed content could use this method to weed out non-matching feeds before they are downloaded.

Specified by:

runPostFeedDownloadPlugIn in interface PostFeedDownloadPlugIn

Parameters:

feedInfo - the FeedInfo object for the feed that has been downloaded

feedDataFile - the file containing the downloaded, unparsed feed XML. curn may delete this file after all plug-ins are notified!

encoding - the encoding used to store the data in the file, or null for the default

Returns:

true if curn should continue to process the feed, false to skip the feed. A return value of false aborts all further processing on the feed. In particular, curn will not pass the feed along to other plug-ins that have yet to be notified of this event.

Throws:

CurnException - on error
