2014-08-16Implemented primitive optional parameter support for external functionsAdrian Kummerlaender
* renamed FunctionExternalTextFormatter into FunctionExternalCommand ** the goal is to provide a general interface to a variety of external commands *** e.g. not just text formatters but system utilities for file management and so on ** this requires the stdin parameter to be optional as not all external commands require stdin input * implemented "filter_derived" helper template to determine amount of optional parameters ** optional parameters are defined as "boost::optional" specializations *** they in turn can be detected by checking if "boost::optional_detail::optional_tag" is a base class * "callConstructDocument" member method of "FunctionBase" performs additional bounds checking of parameter vector * "boost::optional<std::string>" specific member overload was added to "XObjectValue" helper class ** we will have to provide full specializations for all optional types as C++ prohibits partial member function template specialization * renamed the external function in "PlattformGuard" * changed README.md and test cases accordingly
2014-08-09Changed FunctionExternalTextFormatter to execute formatter inside shellAdrian Kummerlaender
* otherwise one has to pass the full path to the command ** additionally it is much easier to enable passing arguments to the external formatter this way * modified external function parameter accordingly * updated external text formatter test case
2014-07-12Marked constructDocument member methods as constAdrian Kummerlaender
* they don't modifiy the class state so there is no reason for them not being marked as const ** all calling methods are also const ** this enables us to remove the const_cast in FunctionBase * modified external function implementations accordingly * inlined handleError method in FunctionTransform as it is not needed in multiple places anymore
2014-07-07Implemented custom xercesc::DOMDocument deleterAdrian Kummerlaender
* pointers to xercesc::DOMDocument were manually released ** this is now solved using a custom deleter for the appropriate std::unqiue_ptr template specialization * added matching factory method to DomDocumentCache * updated external function implementations accordingly ** "constructDocument" is now expected to return a DomDocumentCache::document_ptr instance * updated TransformerFacade accordingly * this change was implemented to get rid of the manual memory management required by xalan / xerces
2014-06-30Switched external text formatter parameter to boost::filesystem::pathAdrian Kummerlaender
* this increases consistency accross all external functions * enables usage of non-global formatter executables
2014-06-17Added context awareness to XObjectValue casting logicAdrian Kummerlaender
* added support for defining boost::filesystem::path as a external function parameter ** boost::filesystem::path parameters are resolved against the appropriate FilesystemContext and IncludeEntityResolver instances * xalan::XSLTInputSource parameter source paths are also resolved * removed need for passing a reference FilesystemContext to "constructDocument" methods ** they now only accept the parameters of the external function implemented by them ** all path resolution logic is wrapped by the newly created XObjectValue class * converted XObjectValue namespace into class ** the "get" template method is now a template member method ** this was needed to enable value casting logic to access the appropriate FilesystemContext and IncludeEntityResolver instances * this commit marks the next step towards the goals defined in 741a70f
2014-06-07Improved FunctionBase constructDocument parameter propagationAdrian Kummerländer
* replaced std::tuple constructing Mapper template methods with direct XObjectArgVectorType unpacking ** XObjectValue::get template method is applied directly using parameter pack unpacking * implemented custom IndexSequence / Sequence type to provide vector indexes * modified all external functions to provide matching constructDocument overloads
2014-05-26Revamped external execute function into a external text formatter functionAdrian Kummerländer
* importing XML output of a called executable into the result document required special logic which clashed with a general execute function * general execute function may be implemented in the future ** support for external text formatters with XML output has a higher priority * current implementation enables calling a markdown parser and including the XHTML output into the document
