ScriptedTask (DSpace Kernel :: API and Implementation 7.6.1 API)

```
public interface ScriptedTask
```
ScriptedTask describes a rather generic ability to perform an operation upon a DSpace object. It's semantics are identical to the CurationTask interface, but is designed to be implemented in scripting languages, rather than Java. For this reason, the 'perform' methods are renamed to accomodate languages (like Ruby) that lack method overloading.

- Method Detail
  - init
```
void init(Curator curator,
          String taskId)
   throws IOException
```
    Initialize task - parameters inform the task of it's invoking curator. Since the curator can provide services to the task, this represents curation DI.
    
    Parameters:
    
    curator - the Curator controlling this task
    
    taskId - identifier task should use in invoking services
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException - if IO error
  - performDso
```
int performDso(DSpaceObject dso)
        throws IOException
```
    Perform the curation task upon passed DSO
    
    Parameters:
    
    dso - the DSpace object
    
    Returns:
    
    status code
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException - if IO error
  - performId
```
int performId(Context ctx,
              String id)
       throws IOException
```
    Perform the curation task for passed id
    
    Parameters:
    
    ctx - DSpace context object
    
    id - persistent ID for DSpace object
    
    Returns:
    
    status code
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException - if IO error
