Pipe that lexicographically compares two strings, which must NOT be empty.
Author:

Specific parameters
operand1 The first operand, which holds v1. Defaults to input message., operand2 The second operand, which holds v2. Defaults to input message., ignorepatterns (optional) Contains an XML table with references to substrings that have to be ignored during the comparison. This XML table has the following layout: 

 <ignores>
 	   <ignore>
 	       <after>...</after>
 	       <before>...</before>
 	   </ignore>
 	   <ignore>
 	       <after>...</after>
 	       <before>...</before>
 	   </ignore>
 </ignores>

Substrings between "after" and "before" are ignored.

  • Method Details

    • configure

      public void configure() throws ConfigurationException
      Description copied from class: AbstractPipe
      configure() is called after the Pipeline is registered at the Adapter. The purpose of this method is to reduce creating connections to databases, etc. in the doPipe() method. As much as possible, class instantiation should take place in the configure() method to improve performance.
      Specified by:
      configure in interface IConfigurable
      Overrides:
      configure in class AbstractPipe
      Throws:
      ConfigurationException - in case it was not able to configure the component.

    • doPipe

      public PipeRunResult doPipe(Message message, PipeLineSession session) throws PipeRunException
      Description copied from interface: IPipe
      This is where the action takes place. Pipes may only throw a PipeRunException, to be handled by the caller of this object. Implementations must either consume the message, or pass it on to the next Pipe in the PipeRunResult.
      Throws:
      PipeRunException

    • consumesSessionVariable

      public boolean consumesSessionVariable(String sessionKey)
      Description copied from interface: IPipe
      returns true if the pipe or one of its children use the named session variable. Callers can use this to determine if a message needs to be preserved.
      Specified by:
      consumesSessionVariable in interface IPipe
      Overrides:
      consumesSessionVariable in class AbstractPipe

    • isXml

      public boolean isXml()

    • setXml

      public void setXml(boolean b)
      If true, the string values to compare are considered to be XML strings, and before the actual comparison, both XML strings are transformed to a canonical form.
      Default value
      false
