All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractXmlDeriver, PolicyDeriver, WsdlDeriver, XsdDeriver

public interface ArtifactDeriver

Provides a way to derive artifacts. Classes that implement this interface must be able to parse a particular type of artifact and produce all of the derived artifacts for it. Examples include an XSD deriver, WSDL deriver, etc.

Method Summary

Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
Collection<BaseArtifactType>	derive(BaseArtifactType artifact, InputStream contentStream) Given an artifact, this method will return a collection of derived content for it.
void	link(LinkerContext context, BaseArtifactType sourceArtifact, Collection<BaseArtifactType> derivedArtifacts) This method represents the "linker" phase of deriving artifact content.

Method Detail

derive

Collection<BaseArtifactType> derive(BaseArtifactType artifact,
                                  InputStream contentStream)
                                    throws IOException

Given an artifact, this method will return a collection of derived content for it.

Parameters:

artifact - the artifact to derive

contentStream - the artifact content

Returns:

derived content

Throws:

IOException

link

void link(LinkerContext context,
        BaseArtifactType sourceArtifact,
        Collection<BaseArtifactType> derivedArtifacts)

This method represents the "linker" phase of deriving artifact content. The linker phase is responsible for creating any relationships between and among the derived artifacts.

Parameters:

context -

sourceArtifact -

derivedArtifacts -
