Interface EPFileLoader

All Known Implementing Classes:
LDAPLoader
public interface EPFileLoader
This interface is to be implemented by a loader which wants to make some data available to an enhancement node by writing its data into a file.

  • Method Summary

    Modifier and Type
    Method
    Description
    String
    getFilePath()
    Allows inquisition on the file to which this loader is writing data.
    String
    getKey()
    This method returns a string key which can be used inside an NPL program to address the "table" which will be holding the data provided by this loader, e.g.
    EPFileLoaderConfig
    getLoaderConfig()
    Allows inquisition on the EPFileLoaderConfig which configures this loader.
    void
    setFilePath(String filePath)
    This method is called by the user of the loader object which implements EPFileLoader to specify the file where the loader will write its data using the enhancer file format.
    void
    setLoaderConfig(EPFileLoaderConfig laoderConfig)
    User of the loader object will call this method to specify an EPFileLoaderConfig which will know how to configure this loader.
    void
    shutdown()
    Shutsdown any thread associated to this loader.
    void
    start()
    Starts any thread associated to this loader.
