public class MediaFilterManager
extends Object

MediaFilterManager is the class that invokes the media/format filters over the repository's content. A few command line flags affect the operation of the MFM: -v verbose outputs all extracted text to STDOUT; -f force forces all bitstreams to be processed, even if they have been before; -n noindex does not recreate index after processing bitstreams; -i [identifier] limits processing scope to a community, collection or item; and -m [max] limits processing to a maximum number of items.

filterItem

public static boolean filterItem(Context c,
                                 Item myItem)
                          throws Exception

Iterate through the item's bitstreams in the ORIGINAL bundle, applying filters if possible.

Returns:

true if any bitstreams processed, false if none

Throws:

Exception

filterBitstream

public static boolean filterBitstream(Context c,
                                      Item myItem,
                                      Bitstream myBitstream)
                               throws Exception

Attempt to filter a bitstream. An exception will be thrown if the media filter class cannot be instantiated. Exceptions from filtering will be logged to STDOUT and swallowed.

Returns:

true if bitstream processed, false if no applicable filter or already processed

Throws:

Exception

processBitstream

public static boolean processBitstream(Context c,
                                       Item item,
                                       Bitstream source,
                                       FormatFilter formatFilter)
                                throws Exception

A utility class that calls the virtual methods from the current MediaFilter class. It scans the bitstreams in an item, and decides if a bitstream has already been filtered, and if not or if overWrite is set, invokes the filter.

Parameters:

c - context

item - item containing bitstream to process

source - source bitstream to process

formatFilter - FormatFilter to perform filtering

Returns:

true if new rendition is created, false if rendition already exists and overWrite is not set

Throws:

Exception

getCurrentItem

public static Item getCurrentItem()

Return the item that is currently being processed/filtered by the MediaFilterManager.

This allows FormatFilters to retrieve the Item object in case they need access to item-level information for their format transformations/conversions.

Returns:

current Item being processed by MediaFilterManager

inSkipList

public static boolean inSkipList(String identifier)

Check whether or not to skip processing the given identifier.

Parameters:

identifier - identifier (handle) of a community, collection or item

Returns:

true if this community, collection or item should be skipped during processing. Otherwise, return false.
