Summary: Spring context processor improvements
Key: NIFI-1647
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-1647
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Joseph Witt
Priority: Minor
Here are a couple observations/things to improve on the Spring processors
included in 0.6.0.
1) The validators for the classpath and context properties should not be
validating eachother. When compound validation is needed that is the job of
customValidate. They should each have simple validators like checking for a
directory in the case of the path and checking not empty in the case of the
context. Then, customValidate should run the logic currently held in
SpringContextValidator. Doing this will eliminate the two warnings that come
out now whenever one of them isn't right.
2) It seems really unclear how one can add new spring context xmls. Is it at
startup only? When adding the processor only? I've tried putting a new one in
the path directory and putting one in the conf directory but still it doesn't
seem to find it. It appears some code cleanup/clarity is needed but at very
least we should document what the user should expect/do to load new context
configs.
