Method Summary

org.jdom.Element	elementForFactory(ProcessorFactory pf) Return the spec element for a given ProcessorFactory.
org.jdom.Element	elementForProcessor(Processor p) Return the spec element, that is to say the processor specific portion of the processor element.
ProcessorFactory	getFactory(org.jdom.Element specElement) Create a new factory that will produces processors of the supplied spec when it's invoked
Processor	loadProcessorFromXML(org.jdom.Element processorNode, ScuflModel model, java.lang.String name) Create a new processor from the given chunk of XML

Method Detail

elementForProcessor

org.jdom.Element elementForProcessor(Processor p)

Return the spec element, that is to say the processor specific portion of the processor element. For example, the soaplab implementation of this method returns the element rooted at the 'soaplabwsdl' element.

elementForFactory

org.jdom.Element elementForFactory(ProcessorFactory pf)

Return the spec element for a given ProcessorFactory. In reality each XML handler will be given only a particular subclass of the ProcessorFactory to deal with so you can reasonably cast it to your specific implementation straight off to get factory specific data out.

getFactory

ProcessorFactory getFactory(org.jdom.Element specElement)

Create a new factory that will produces processors of the supplied spec when it's invoked

loadProcessorFromXML

Processor loadProcessorFromXML(org.jdom.Element processorNode,
                               ScuflModel model,
                               java.lang.String name)
                               throws ProcessorCreationException,
                                      DuplicateProcessorNameException,
                                      XScuflFormatException

Create a new processor from the given chunk of XML

Throws:

ProcessorCreationException

DuplicateProcessorNameException

XScuflFormatException
