-------------------------------
Summary: MergeContent should provide "Strategy" property for
specifying how Header, Footer, and Demarcator properties should be interpreted
Key: NIFI-446
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-446
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Extensions
Reporter: Mark Payne
Priority: Minor
The Header, Footer, and Demarcator currently must be specified as filenames. We
should add a strategy to allow user to configure the values as filenames or
just text to insert.
We would have a property named "Delimiter Strategy" (or something better) that
provides 2 allowable value: "Text" and "Filename".
If filename, it should behave as it does now. If text, instead of interpreting
the header, footer, and demarcator as filenames, the user-defined text should
be used. This means we should change the "Display Name" of these properties
from "Header File", "Footer File", and "Demarcator File" to simply "Header",
"Footer", and "Demarcator", respectively.
Also will need to implement customValidate, since the validation of these
properties depends on the strategy.
Also need to allow for the Expression Language to be used, if not filename. If
filename, should not allow Expression Language.
