constructRowIterator

public static Iterator<Map<String,Object>> constructRowIterator(String fileName,
                                                int bufferSize,
                                                String forEachXpath,
                                                List<Map<String,String>> fields,
                                                boolean largeFileSize)

Convenience method for quick construction of a row iterator over an XML document.

The fileName determines the location of the XML file to return data records from. For more detailed information see constructRowIterator(VTDNav, String, List, String).

Parameters:

fileName - XML file to return data rows from.

bufferSize - Size of buffers while reading the file at fileName.

forEachXpath - An XPath expression determining the XML elements to retrieve data records from.

fields - List of attribute-value pairs determining the record fields returned by the iterator.

Returns:

An iterator over all rows extracted from the XMl document pointed to by fileName.

constructRowIterator

public static Iterator<Map<String,Object>> constructRowIterator(byte[] data,
                                                int bufferSize,
                                                String forEachXpath,
                                                List<Map<String,String>> fields,
                                                String identifier)

Convenience method for quick construction of a row iterator over an XML document.

data contains the XML data to return data records from. For more detailed information see constructRowIterator(VTDNav, String, List, String).

Parameters:

data - Byte array containing an XML document.

bufferSize - Size of buffers while reading the file at fileName.

forEachXpath - An XPath expression determining the XML elements to retrieve data records from.

fields - List of attribute-value pairs determining the record fields returned by the iterator.

identifier - A string identifying the XML document in data, needed for error messages.

Returns:

An iterator over all rows extracted from the XMl document pointed to by fileName.

constructRowIterator

public static Iterator<Map<String,Object>> constructRowIterator(com.ximpleware.VTDNav vn,
                                                String forEachXpath,
                                                List<Map<String,String>> fields,
                                                String identifier)

The VTDNav vn is a VTD navigator over the XML file to return data records from. For each evaluation of the forEach XPath expression, one data row is created

Such a row consist of the fields given by the list fields The list contains Maps of attribute-value pairs. All fields are required to have a Constants#XPATH attribute which specifies the XPath pointing to information in the XML documents to retrieve. Likewise, a Constants#NAME attribute is required. This attribute determines the name of the field in the resulting row containing the information retrieved by the field's Constants.XPATH attribute.

Example:

A field with the following attribute-value-pairs

<field name="pmid" xpath="/MedlineCitationSet/MedlineCitation/PMID" >

will create one field in each returned data row named "pmid" and its value will by the character data at the XPath "/MedlineCitationSet/MedlineCitation/PMID".

Parameters:

vn - The VTDNav object which navigates over the XML document to retrieve records from.

forEachXpath - An XPath expression determining the XML elements for each of which one row should be created.

fields - The fields to be returned with each data row.

Returns:

An iterator over all rows extracted from the XMl document navigated by vn.
