propertyfile -

Excel2XML

public Excel2XML(String path,
                 String rulesDirectoryXML,
                 String ruleset)

Opens the RulesDirectory for the caller.

Parameters:

rulesDirectoryXML -

ruleset -

Method Detail

getRuleSet

public RuleSet getRuleSet()

Returns the ruleSet being used by this compiler

Returns:

reset

public void reset()

We reset the Rules Directory after we have modified the XML used to define the Rules Directory.

getDTCompiler

public DTCompiler getDTCompiler()

Return the Last DecisionTable Compiler used. Null if none exists.

Returns:

Return the Last DecisionTable Compiler used.

convertRuleset

public void convertRuleset()
                    throws Exception

Converts the RuleSet

Throws:

Exception

copyFile

public static void copyFile(String file1,
                            String file2)

Copy a file Throws a runtime exception if anything goes wrong.

compile

public void compile(int NumErrorsToReport,
                    PrintStream err)

Compiles the RuleSet

Parameters:

NumErrorsToReport - How many errors to print

err - The output stream which to print the errors

generateMap

@Deprecated
public void generateMap(String mapping,
                                   String filename)
                 throws Exception

Deprecated.

Generates a default Mapping File. This file is not complete, but requires adjustments to match XML tags if they differ from the Attribute names used in the EDD. Also, the initial Entity Stack and frequence of Entity types must be examined and updated.

Parameters:

mapping - Tag for the mapping file. Attributes with this tag in the EDD will be mapped in the generated mapping

filename - File name for the mapping file generated

Throws:

Exception

generateMap

public void generateMap(int version,
                        String mapping,
                        String filename)
                 throws Exception

Generates a default Mapping File. This file is not complete, but requires adjustments to match XML tags if they differ from the Attribute names used in the EDD. Also, the initial Entity Stack and frequency of Entity types must be examined and updated.

Parameters:

mapping - Version of EDD to map.

mapping - Tag for the mapping file. Attributes with this tag in the EDD will be mapped in the generated mapping

filename - File name for the mapping file generated

Throws:

Exception

compile

public static void compile(String path,
                           String rulesConfig,
                           String ruleset,
                           String applicationRepositoryPath)
                    throws Exception

Throws:

Exception

compile

public static void compile(String path,
                           String rulesConfig,
                           String ruleset,
                           String applicationRepositoryPath,
                           String[] mappings)
                    throws Exception

Helper function for compiling Rule Sets.

Parameters:

path - The Base Path in the file system. All other files are defined as relative points away from this Base Path

rulesConfig - The name of the Rule Set configuration file

ruleset - The name of the Rule Set to compile. (Most of the parameters to the compiler are pulled from the configuration file

applicationRepositoryPath - This is a relative path to a possibly different version of this Rule Set. Generally, this is the version that is currently deployed. The compile will produce a compare of changes between the Rule Set under development, and this Rule Set. If null, this comparison will be skipped.

Throws:

Exception
