Method Detail

terminate

public void terminate()
               throws Exception

Description copied from class: Connector

Terminate the connector. This function closes all connection and releases all resources used by the connector. This function also calls the parser's closeParser() method if a parser is active.

Specified by:

terminate in interface ConnectorInterface

Overrides:

terminate in class Connector

Throws:

Exception

initialize

public void initialize(Object o)
                throws Exception

Description copied from class: Connector

Initialize the connector. The connector may be passed a parameter of any kind by the user. It is up to the connector to determine whether this object can be used or not. The parameter is typically provided by a user script. When an AssemblyLine initializes it's Connectors, they are passed a ConnectorMode object.

Specified by:

Overrides:

initialize in class Connector

Parameters:

o - User provided parameter

Throws:

Exception

selectEntries

public void selectEntries()
                   throws Exception

Description copied from class: Connector

Prepare the Connector for sequential read. If necessary, create a result set to be used for getNextEntry(). When the Connector is used as an Iterator in an AssemblyLine, this method will be called. Default is an empty method.

Specified by:

selectEntries in interface ConnectorInterface

Overrides:

selectEntries in class Connector

Throws:

Exception

getNextEntry

public Entry getNextEntry()
                   throws Exception
