Class InputXMLComponent

java.lang.Object
  org.dlese.dpc.ndr.apiproxy.InputXMLComponent

Direct Known Subclasses:

DataComponent

public class InputXMLComponent
extends Object

Wrapper for the three main components of the InputXML Object (Data, Properties, and Relationships). For the specification of InputXML and it's components, see API Basics in the NDR API Documentation.

InputXMLComponents consist of "commands", which specify criteria that is used for selection of, or assignment to NDR Objects. For example, the commands in the "find" request are used to select objects from the NDR, while the commands in the "addMetadata" request assign values to the Metadata object to be created.

The Component is represented as a dom4j.Element, with individual commands as subelements.
