- Field Detail
  - FOR_EACH
```
public static final String FOR_EACH
```
    Constant for the name of a definition attribute in the configuration file for the CoStoSys DataBaseConnector. The value of the FOR_EACH attribute is the XPath expression which determines the XML elements for each of which particular fields with values within these elements should be constructed.
    Example:
    Assume we have a file with the following structure:
    <MedlineCitationSet> <MedlineCitation> <PMID>123456</PMID> ...more content... </MedlineCitation> ... <MedlineCitation> ...some content... </MedlineCitation> ... </MedlineCitationSet>
    
    We want to traverse each of the <MedlineCitation> elements and extract information from their inner elements, e.g. their PMID. For this purpose we set the FOR_EACH attribute (or the corresponding method parameters in the Java code) to the XPath "/MedlineCitationSet/MedlineCitation".

    Constant Field Values
  - BINARY
```
public static final String BINARY
```
    Constant for the name of a definition attribute in the configuration file for the CoStoSys DataBaseConnector. Indicates whether the data in the respective table is stored in JeDIS binary format.
    
    See Also:
    
    Constant Field Values
  - PRIMARY_KEY
```
public static final String PRIMARY_KEY
```
    Constant for the name of a field attribute.
    If set to true, the database table column corresponding to the field definition with the PRIMARY_KEY attribute will be part of the primary key.
    
    See Also:
    
    Constant Field Values
  - NOT_NULL
```
public static final String NOT_NULL
```
    Constant for the name of a field attribute.
    
    If set to true, the database table column corresponding to the field definition with the NOT_NULL attribute will prohibit null values.
    
    See Also:
    
    Constant Field Values
  - RETRIEVE
```
public static final String RETRIEVE
```
    Constant for the name of a field attribute.
    If set to true, the value of the database table column corresponding to the field definition with the RETRIEVE attribute will be retrieved by the CoStoSys DataBaseConnector's query methods.
    
    See Also:
    
    Constant Field Values
  - XPATH
```
public static final String XPATH
```
    Constant for the name of a field attribute. The XPATH attribute is holding the XPath expression that determines which XML element holds the desired information for the field.
    
    See Also:
    
    Constant Field Values
  - NAME
```
public static final String NAME
```
    Constant for the name of a field. Will correspond to the name of the database-field which holds the information retrieved by the field Map.
    
    See Also:
    
    Constant Field Values
  - RETURN_XML_FRAGMENT
```
public static final String RETURN_XML_FRAGMENT
```
    Constant for the name of a field attribute.
    The RETURN_XML_FRAGMENT attribute determines whether the complete XML code pointed to by the XPATH attribute should be returned (RETURN_XML_FRAGMENT set to true).
    Example:
    A field with the following attribute-value-pairs
    
    <field name="xml" xpath="/MedlineCitationSet/MedlineCitation" returnXMLFragment="true">
    returns the complete XML fragment for a MedlineCitation node, including opening and closing tags.
    
    See Also:
    
    Constant Field Values
  - RETURN_ARRAY
```
public static final String RETURN_ARRAY
```
    Constant for the name of a field attribute.
    If a field's XPath expression has several hits (e.g. an XPath pointing to an author in a Medline document will most probably find multiple matches), RETURN_ARRAY determines whether the extracted values should be returned as a String array. If set to false, multiple values will be concatenated using the String given by CONCAT_STRING or, if missing, the default (',').
    
    See Also:
    
    Constant Field Values
  - GZIP
```
public static final String GZIP
```
    See Also:
    
    Constant Field Values
  - CONCAT_STRING
```
public static final String CONCAT_STRING
```
    Constant for the name of a field attribute.
    Determines the String to be used when concatenating multiple hits of an XPath. Multiple hits can also be returned as an array. See the RETURN_ARRAY constant for more information.
    
    See Also:
    
    Constant Field Values
  - EXTRACT_FROM_FILENAME
```
public static final String EXTRACT_FROM_FILENAME
```
    Constant for the name of a field attribute.
    If set to true, the file name - if the XML document is read from file - is used to extract values. This is done on a 'match with regular expression and replace with' fashion. Therefore, using this attribute requires to deliver values for the attributes REGEX and REPLACE_WITH as well.
    
    See Also:
    
    Constant Field Values
  - RESOLVE_ENTITIES
```
public static final String RESOLVE_ENTITIES
```
    Constant for the name of a field attribute.
    If set to true, extracted XML text passages will be XML entity resolved. That is, special characters will be substituted by their human readable counterpart. Example:
    The text
    The population of butterflies \& bees represents < 30% of all insects
    contains the XML entities '&' and '<' in an escaped fashion so not to collide with the XML parsing process. Switching RESOLVE_ENTITIES to true will result in the string
    The population of butterflies & bees represents < 30% of all insects
    See Also:
    
    Constant Field Values
  - TIMESTAMP
```
public static final String TIMESTAMP
```
    Constant for the name of a field attribute. Fields which have set the TIMESTAMP attribute to "true" will be given the time stamp of the last update for the corresponding record. This is required for delta-updates.
    
    See Also:
    
    Constant Field Values
  - REGEX
```
public static final String REGEX
```
    Constant for the name of a field attribute.
    Used together with EXTRACT_FROM_FILENAME and REPLACE_WITH attributes. Determines the regular expression whose matches on the XML document file name are substituted by the value given by REPLACE_WITH.
    
    See Also:
    
    Constant Field Values
  - REPLACE_WITH
```
public static final String REPLACE_WITH
```
    Constant for the name of a field attribute.
    Used together with EXTRACT_FROM_FILENAME and REGEX attributes. Determines the substitute expression to replace characters of the XML document filename which match the regular expression given by the REGEX attribute.
    
    See Also:
    
    Constant Field Values
  - TYPE
```
public static final String TYPE
```
    Constant for the name of a field attribute.
    Used to set the type of a parsed value, e.g. String
    
    See Also:
    
    Constant Field Values
  - CONSTANT_VALUE
```
public static final String CONSTANT_VALUE
```
    Constant for the name of a field attribute>
    The value of this attribute will always be the value of the field that specifies the attribute.
    
    See Also:
    
    Constant Field Values
  - VTD_INDEX
```
public static final String VTD_INDEX
```
    Used by the JulieXMLTools.constructRowIterator(VTDNav, String, List, String) and JulieXMLTools.constructRowIterator(VTDNavHuge, String, List, String) methods. Adds to each row the VTD token index of the beginning of the respective row, i.e. the XML element.
    
    When using this functionality to navigate the XML with the VTDNav object given to the row constructor, take care to always set back the original VTDNav state for the current row. This can be achieved by calling VTDNav.push() before and VTDNav.pop() after manipulations of the VTDNav object.
