Hi Weber, The Apache Daffodil 2.2.0 API introduced the InputSourceDataInputStream class as the preferred way to provide data to Daffodil. This constructor accepts either a byte array, a java.nio.ByteBuffer, or a java.io.InputStream. Hopefully your shared memory interface can be represented as one of those, but if not, we can discuss adding a new input method in a future release.
The JavaDoc has some examples on how to use the InputSourceDataInputStream and get the output via an InfosetOutputter. https://daffodil.apache.org/docs/2.2.0/javadoc/org/apache/daffodil/japi/package-summary.html#package.description Also, I just noticed that the JavaDoc link on our webpage was pointing to 2.1.0 instead of 2.2.0. That has been updated and should work now. The direct link is at: https://daffodil.apache.org/docs/2.2.0/javadoc - Steve On 11/7/18 3:00 PM, Perpignand, Weber wrote: > Hello, > > We are exploring ways to use Daffodil for data normalization. > > The data comes in to our system via a protocol adapter which it then copies > to a > shared memory interface.
