Method Detail

reviseAdditionalDataMap

public java.util.Map reviseAdditionalDataMap(java.util.Map existentDataMap,
                                             XMLElement element)
                                      throws CompilerException

This method is called from the compiler for each file (or dir) parsing. The XMLElement is a node of the file related children of the XML element "pack" (see installation.dtd). Current these are "file", "singlefile" or "fileset". If an additional data should be set, it should be added to the given data map (if exist). If no map exist a new should be created and filled. The data map will be added to the PackFile object after all registered CompilerListener are called. If the map contains an not common object, it is necessary to add the needed class to the installer.

Parameters:

existentDataMap - attribute set with previos setted attributes

element - current file related XML node

Returns:

the given or a new attribute set. If no attribute set is given and no attribute was added, null returns

Throws:

CompilerException

notify

public void notify(java.lang.String position,
                   int state,
                   XMLElement data,
                   Packager packager)

This method will be called from each step of packaging.

Parameters:

position - name of the calling method, e.g. "addVariables"

state - BEGIN or END

data - current install data

packager - current packager object
