Class FileAttributesFilter

java.lang.Object

org.forgerock.openig.filter.FileAttributesFilter

All Implemented Interfaces:

org.forgerock.http.Filter

public class FileAttributesFilter
extends Object
implements org.forgerock.http.Filter

Retrieves and exposes a record from a delimiter-separated file. Lookup of the record is performed using a specified key, whose value is derived from an expression. The resulting record is exposed in a Map object, whose location is specified by the target expression. If a matching record cannot be found, then the resulting map will be empty.

The retrieval of the record is performed lazily; it does not occur until the first attempt to access a value in the target. This defers the overhead of file operations and text processing until a value is first required. This also means that the value expression will not be evaluated until the map is first accessed.
