Class RoleCrosswalk

  org.dspace.content.crosswalk.AbstractPackagerWrappingCrosswalk
      org.dspace.content.crosswalk.RoleCrosswalk

All Implemented Interfaces:

DisseminationCrosswalk, IngestionCrosswalk

public class RoleCrosswalk
extends AbstractPackagerWrappingCrosswalk
implements IngestionCrosswalk, DisseminationCrosswalk

Role Crosswalk

Translate between DSpace Group & EPeople definitions and a DSpace-specific XML export format (generated by the RoleDisseminator). This is primarily used for AIPs, but may be used by other Packagers as necessary.

This crosswalk allows you to export DSpace Groups & EPeople to this XML structured format. It also allows you to import an XML file of this format in order to restore DSpace Groups and EPeople defined within it.

This is just wrappers; the real work is done in RoleDisseminator and RoleIngester.

Constructor Detail

RoleCrosswalk

public RoleCrosswalk()

Method Detail

getNamespaces

public org.jdom.Namespace[] getNamespaces()

Get XML namespaces of the elements this crosswalk may return. Returns the XML namespaces (as JDOM objects) of the root element.

Specified by:

getNamespaces in interface DisseminationCrosswalk

Returns:

array of namespaces, which may be empty.

getSchemaLocation

public String getSchemaLocation()

Get the XML Schema location(s) of the target metadata format. Returns the string value of the xsi:schemaLocation attribute that should be applied to the generated XML.

It may return the empty string if no schema is known, but crosswalk authors are strongly encouraged to implement this call so their output XML can be validated correctly.

Specified by:

getSchemaLocation in interface DisseminationCrosswalk

Returns:

SchemaLocation string, including URI namespace, followed by whitespace and URI of XML schema document, or empty string if unknown.

canDisseminate

public boolean canDisseminate(DSpaceObject dso)

Predicate: Can this disseminator crosswalk the given object.

Specified by:

canDisseminate in interface DisseminationCrosswalk

Parameters:

dso - dspace object, e.g. an Item.

Returns:

true when disseminator is capable of producing metadata.

preferList

public boolean preferList()

Predicate: Does this disseminator prefer to return a list of Elements, rather than a single root Element?

Specified by:

preferList in interface DisseminationCrosswalk

Returns:

true when disseminator prefers you call disseminateList().

disseminateList

public List<org.jdom.Element> disseminateList(DSpaceObject dso)
                                       throws CrosswalkException,
                                              IOException,
                                              SQLException,
                                              AuthorizeException

Execute crosswalk, returning List of XML elements. Returns a List of JDOM Element objects representing the XML produced by the crosswalk. This is typically called when a list of fields is desired, e.g. for embedding in a METS document xmlData field.

When there are no results, an empty list is returned, but never null.

Specified by:

disseminateList in interface DisseminationCrosswalk

Parameters:

dso - the DSpace Object whose metadata to export.

Returns:

results of crosswalk as list of XML elements.

Throws:

CrosswalkInternalException - (CrosswalkException) failure of the crosswalk itself.

CrosswalkObjectNotSupported - (CrosswalkException) Cannot crosswalk this kind of DSpace object.

IOException - I/O failure in services this calls

SQLException - Database failure in services this calls

AuthorizeException - current user not authorized for this operation.

CrosswalkException

disseminateElement

public org.jdom.Element disseminateElement(DSpaceObject dso)
                                    throws CrosswalkException,
                                           IOException,
                                           SQLException,
                                           AuthorizeException

Execute crosswalk, returning one XML root element as a JDOM Element object. This is typically the root element of a document.

Specified by:

disseminateElement in interface DisseminationCrosswalk

Parameters:

dso - the DSpace Object whose metadata to export.

Returns:

root Element of the target metadata, never null

Throws:

CrosswalkInternalException - (CrosswalkException) failure of the crosswalk itself.

CrosswalkObjectNotSupported - (CrosswalkException) Cannot crosswalk this kind of DSpace object.

IOException - I/O failure in services this calls

SQLException - Database failure in services this calls

AuthorizeException - current user not authorized for this operation.
