compare

void compare(String sid,
             com.logicaldoc.core.document.Version originalVersion,
             com.logicaldoc.core.document.Version modifiedVersion,
             File dest)
      throws IOException

Performs the comparison

Parameters:

sid - The actual Session ID

originalVersion - The original version

modifiedVersion - The modified version

dest - The comparison output as PDF file

Throws:

IOException - error writing the temporary files or in the comparation

getParameterNames

List<String> getParameterNames()

Implementations should return the list of the required parameters. A parameter is stored in the context as comparator.SimpleClassName.parameter = value

Returns:

the list of configuration parameters

getParameters

Map<String,String> getParameters()

Returns the map of parameters

Returns:

map of parameters

getParameter

String getParameter(String name)

Gets the value of a parameter

Parameters:

name - name of the parameter

Returns:

value of the configuration parameter

loadParameters

void loadParameters()

Reads it's own parameters and stores them in the parameters map

isEnabled

boolean isEnabled()

Checks if the comparator is enabled or not

Returns:

the enabled status

setEnabled

void setEnabled(boolean enabled)

Enables or disables the comparator

Parameters:

enabled - the new enabled status
