Method Detail

convert

void convert(File src,
             File dest)
      throws IOException

Performs the conversion

Parameters:

src - The source file

dest - The converted file, the extension of it's filename defines the output format

Throws:

IOException - raised if the conversion resulted in an error

convert

void convert(String sid,
             Document document,
             File src,
             File dest)
      throws IOException

Performs the conversion

Parameters:

sid - The actual Session ID (optional)

document - The document (optional)

src - The source file

dest - The converted file, the extension of it's filename defines the output format

Throws:

IOException - raised if the conversion resulted in an error

getParameterNames

List<String> getParameterNames()

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

Returns:

list of the configuration parameters

getParameters

Map<String,String> getParameters()

Returns the map of parameters

Returns:

map param_name = param_value

getParameter

String getParameter(String name)

Gets the value of a parameter

Parameters:

name - name of the configuration parameter

Returns:

the 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 converter is enabled or not

Returns:

if the converter is enabled

setEnabled

void setEnabled(boolean enabled)

Enables or disables the converter

Parameters:

enabled - the enabled flag
