Method Detail

importData

void importData(String scheme,
              String dataSource,
              Resource target)
                throws ImportException

This method is called to poll for data to be imported at the given called dataSource location and to import the result into the target Resource.

Parameters:

scheme - The actual scheme of the data source. If an Importer is registered for multiple schemes, this scheme may for example be used to decide on which data represenation can be expected. This value is one of the schemes with which the Importer service has been configured in the importer.scheme service property.

dataSource - The scheme specific string (generally an URI) describing the location at which the data is to be polled. The format of this string is specific to the actual scheme used. For example, this may be a plain HTTP URL of the form http://host/some/data.xml.

target - The target resource into which the data has to be imported

Throws:

ImportException - may be thrown in case of problems accessing, transferring or actually importing the data. If the failure is caused by an exception, this exception ( Throwable) should be made available as the cause of this exception.
