                              String payloadName)

Get a playload in JsonSimple format in the specified Storage instance by its object ID and the name of payload. Useful for loading payloads which are in JSON format

Parameters:

storage - : Storage object

oid - : object ID

payloadName - : name of palyload

Returns:

JsonSimple or null

getPayloadJsonSimple

public JsonSimple getPayloadJsonSimple(Payload payload)

Get a playload in JsonSimple format from the payload instance

Parameters:

payload - : Payload object

Returns:

JsonSimple or null

getList

public Map<String,Object> getList(Map<String,Object> sourceMap,
                         String baseKey)

Getlist method to get the values of key from the sourceMap

Parameters:

sourceMap - Map container

baseKey - field to searchclass

Returns:

list of value based on baseKey

getList

public Map<String,Object> getList(JsonSimple json,
                         String baseKey)

Getlist method to get the values of key from the sourceMap

Parameters:

sourceMap - Map container

baseKey - field to search

Returns:

list of value based on baseKey

getJavaList

public List<JsonObject> getJavaList(JsonSimple json,
                           String baseKey)

getJavaList method to reconstruct an list of JSONObjects of a key from a JsonSimple object

Parameters:

json: - JsonSimple object of source

baseKey: - field to search

Returns:

List: a list of JsonObject based on baseKey

getStringList

public List<String> getStringList(JsonSimple json,
                         String baseKey)

getStringList method to reconstruct an list of String of a key from a JsonSimple object

Parameters:

json: - JsonSimple object of source

baseKey: - field to search

Returns:

List: a List of JsonObject based on baseKey

get

public String get(JsonSimple json,
         Object... field)

Trivial wrapper for call into JSON Library. Removes the difficulty of dealing with a null argument and a vararg from Velocity.

Parameters:

json: - The JSON object to get from

field: - The field in the JSON object to get

Returns:

String: The data in the field, possibly NULL

getEmptyIfNull

public String getEmptyIfNull(JsonSimple json,
                    Object... field)

Similar to get Method but return empty string instead of null

Parameters:

json: - The JSON object to get from

field: - The field in the JSON object to get

Returns:

String: The data in the field, possibly NULL

getDefaultValueIfNull

public String getDefaultValueIfNull(JsonSimple json,
                           String defaultValue,
                           Object... field)

Similar to get Method but return a string supplied by caller if cannot get the field

Parameters:

json: - The JSON object to get from

defaultValue: - The default value of the field

field: - The field in the JSON object to get

Returns:

String: The data in the field, possibly NULL

getW3CDateTime

public String getW3CDateTime(String dateTimeInput)

Cleanup the supplied datetime value into a W3C format.

Parameters:

dateTimeInput - Datetime text to clean

Parameters:

dateTimeInput - Datetime to clean

Returns:

String The cleaned value

getMetadata

public String getMetadata(DigitalObject object,
                 String field)
