Method Details

getAttributeName

String getAttributeName()

The attribute name tells the CatalogProvider what type of attribute values are the Map.Entry keys in the update list. For instance, if the attribute name was "id," then the CatalogProvider would know that the Map.Entry keys in the update list ( List<Entry<Serializable, Metacard>>) were id values (such as 575aa9625fa24b338bd3c439f2613709) and could create the appropriate backend search.

Returns:

the name of the attribute, the attribute name must correspond to an Attribute that has an ddf.catalog.data.AttributeType.AttributeFormat of AttributeType.AttributeFormat.STRING

getUpdates

List<Map.Entry<Serializable,Metacard>> getUpdates()

Get the updates to be made. Any Metacards that have an Attribute.getName() that matches the name returned by getAttributeName() and a Attribute.getValue() that matches the Serializable value in an Map.Entry of this List will be updated with the value of the associated Metacard in the List. An entry's key in the List must match zero metacards or one metacard in the Source.

Returns:

List - pairs of Attribute values and associated new Metacards to update if a match is found.
