public interface DataGetter
A class to get data based on configurations in RDF. These are useful for pages bug not specific to pages.
Consider using this interface when you need data based on RDF configuration.
Instances should be short-lived, and only used on a single HTTP request. The getData method accepts only
a value map, so if stat is required from the request (or the servlet context), the request should be
passed to the constructor.
Constructors: Objects that implement this interface will be constructed by reflection with the following
constructor signatures in the following order:
DataGetter( VitroRequest vreq, Model displayModel, String dataGetterURI )
DataGetter( Model displayModel, String dataGetterURI )
DataGetter( VitroRequest vreq )
DataGetter()
The main difference between this and PageDataGetter is that these are configured not based on page URI
but on DataGetter URI. This allows a configuration of a DataGetter to be used in multiple situations.
The DataGetter is not passed information about what page it might be associated with.
Using this interface is preferred over PageDataGetter because then the DataGetter can be associated with
things other than pages.
