Hello,
templatetransformer behaves rather ungracefully if one of the replacement
fields is missing.
I am parsing a single XML document into multiple separate solr documents.
It turns out that none of the source documents fields can be used to create
a uniqueKey alone. I need to combine two, using template transformer as
follows:
<entity name="x"
dataSource="myfilereader"
processor="XPathEntityProcessor"
url="${jc.fileAbsolutePath}"
rootEntity="true"
stream="false"
forEach="/record | /record/mediaBlock"
transformer="DateFormatTransformer,TemplateTransformer,RegexTransformer"
>
<field column="fileAbsolutePath" template="${jc.fileAbsolutePath}" />
<field column="fileWebPath"
regex="${dataimporter.request.installdir}(.*)" replaceWith="/ford$1"
sourceColName="fileAbsolutePath"/>
<field column="id"
template="${jc.fileAbsolutePath}${x.vurl}" />
<field column="vurl"
xpath="/record/mediaBlock/mediaObject/@vurl" />
The trouble is that vurl is only defined as a child of "/record/mediaBlock"
so my attempt to create id, the uniqueKey fails for the parent document
"/record"
I am hacking around with "TemplateTransformer.java" to sort this but was
wondering if there was a good reason for this behavior.
Regards.
