Hi Andy,
Can you complement your list with guides or how-tos on building a custom controller service and tie that into a processor that leverages the service. The only blog I found on this was Phillip Grenier's article (http://www.nifi.rocks/developing-a-custom-apache-nifi-controller-service/) but it doesn't detail how the bundle directory structure and dependencies were built with maven. Developing a Custom Apache Nifi Controller Service - NiFi ...<http://www.nifi.rocks/developing-a-custom-apache-nifi-controller-service/> www.nifi.rocks How to develop a custom Apache Nifi controller service. The example in this post will utilize Java Properties files.

Hi Keith, I've moved this conversation to the dev list as that is where coding is more frequently discussed as opposed to the users list. If you're not already subscribed, you can do so following the instructions here [1] to ensure you see any replies. The best approach is probably to examine the standard processors in [2]. Here you will be able to see how other developers have extended the AbstractProcessor class with domain-specific implementations. One example is EncryptContent [3] - you can see that while a lot of the encryption logic is delegated to the various *Encryptor classes, the code includes processor-specific tasks like configuring PropertyDescriptors (how users enter properties for the processor) and validating those values, configuring relationships like success and failure, and using the session and flowfile with StreamCallbacks and reporting provenance events. For extensive documentation on writing a processor, the Developer Guide [4] is the most comprehensive resource and describes the processor API, documenting your processor, common patterns, and error handling & testing. If you have specific questions during the development process, please feel free to ask on the dev list. The community has a broad and deep knowledge and is excited to help new developers with general NiFi development or very domain-specific questions as well.
