Method Detail

loadComponentMetadata

public void loadComponentMetadata(String resourceLocation)

Load component metadata information given a String location.

Code example

ComponentMetadataConfig cf = new ComponentMetadataConfig()
cf.loadComponentMetadata("/com/jcorporate/expresso/core/SchemaMetadata.xml"


The above example would load the component metadata from the com.jcorporate.expresso.core package.

Parameters:

resourceLocation - the location of the xml file to parse

loadComponentMetadata

public void loadComponentMetadata(URL resourceLocation)

Loads the component metadata given a URL rather than a String location

Parameters:

resourceLocation - the URL pointing to the location of the resource to parse.

setDigesterRules

protected void setDigesterRules(org.apache.commons.digester.Digester digester)

Set the rules for the digester

TOTAL HACK WARNING! Since Digester doesn't seem to allow recursive rules, we dynamically write rules for up to a maximum component depth of 20.

Parameters:

digester - the Apache Digester to manipulate

getMetadata

public ComponentMetadata getMetadata()

Retrieve the componentMetadata that has been built via a call to loadComponentMetadata

Returns:

ComponentMetadata
