Style Processor Methods

Connectors advertise their support for each style of processor by implementing the corresponding method in the com.ca.jcs.processor.OpProcessorStyleFactory interface to return a processor instance as shown in the following table:

Style Processor Type

Methods to Implement

Attribute Style Processor

createAttributeStyleOpProcessor ()

Method Style Processor

createMethodStyleOpProcessor()

Scripting Style Processor

createScriptStyleOpProcessor()

Connectors can implement one or more of the preceding styles. Where multiple styles are implemented, multiple processors being applied to a single LDAP request (as dictated by data model and opbindings metadata content) can result. For example, a web service connector would only implement method and script-style processor (RPC or document-style) and the JDBC connector implements all three styles.

Note: For an example, see the SDK connector.
