<h3><a name="MapOverview">Simple Map Processor Overview</a></h3>
The Simple Map Processor Mini-Language performes
-two primary tasks: validation
-and conversion. It does this in a context of moving values from one Map
-to another. The
-input map will commonly contain Strings, but can contain other object
-types like Integer, Long,
-Float, Double, java.sql.Date, Time, and Timestamp.
-<hr class="sepbar">
-<h3><a name="MakeInString">Make In String Operations</a></h3>
-make-in-string
-In addition to dealing with the fields already
-in the incoming Map you can build Strings and add them to the in-Map
-before the processing begins with the make-in-string tag. You can have
-zero or
-many make-in-string tags, and they must all come before the process
-tags. Inside each
-make-in-string is a list of snippets to concatenate together to make
-the final String. Each snippet can be another field in the in-Map
-(in-field element), a value from a properties file (property element),
-or a constant (constant element).
-<hr class="sepbar">
-<h3><a name="Process">Process Field Operations</a></h3>
-process
-The process tag is used to contain the
-operations to be done on the specified field in the in-Map. It has one
-required attribute, the field to operate on. The
-operations that it contains are: validate-method, compare,
-compare-field, regexp, not-empty, copy, and convert.
-All process operations tags except copy must
-contain one of two tags: fail-message or fail-property. If the
-operation fails a message is added to
-the message list that is either the specified fail-message, or the
-String from
-the properties file value that is specified in fail-property.
-Messages are collected in List as the Simple Map
-Processor runs. If the List
-is not empty when it completes then something failed in the map
-processor. This
-is done so that all failures will be reported immediately rather than
-having to fix one failure before another can be discovered.
-All process operations automatically convert the
-field value and other values
-from their current type to the type specified for the operation, where
-applicable.
-The ObjectType.simpleTypeConvert method is used to do the conversion.
-It supports
-the following types: String, Double, Float, Long, Integer, Date, Time,
-and Timestamp. If the type is not specified String is the default.
-process:validate-method
-The validate-method tag is used to call any
-static method that accepts
-a String and returns a boolean. If the field coming in is not a String
-it will be converted to a String before calling the method. The two
-attributes
-for this tag are class and method which should contain the fully
-qualified class name and the method name, respectively. If the class
-name is not specified it will default to
-org.ofbiz.base.util.UtilValidate.
-process:compare
-The compare tag is used to compare the field
-value to the value specified
-in the value attribute. An operator must be specified to indicate
-the comparison desired. Operators available include less, greater,
-less-equals, greater-equals, equals, not-equals, and contains.
-process:compare-field
-The compare-field tag is just like the compare
-tag except that instead
-of specifying a value you specify the name of another field in the
-in-Map to compare the current field to.
-process:regexp
-The regexp tag validate the current field
-against the regular expression specified in the expr attribute of the
-tag. Standard Perl style regular
-expressions are used with the ORO library from Jakarta.
-process:not-empty
-The not-empty tag verifies that the current
-field is not empty. If the
-field is a String it must not be null and must have a length greater
-than
-zero, otherwise it must simply not be null. The not-empty tag has no
-attributes.
-process:copy
-The copy operation simply copies the current
-field value to the out-Map from
-the in-Map. There are three optional attributes. If a different field
-name is
-desired in the out-Map it can be specified in the to-field attribute.
-The replace
-attribute can be used to specify if an existing field in the out-Map
-should be replaced or not. The replace attribute defaults to true. The
-set-if-null attribute specifies whether or not the value should be put
-in the out-Map if
-it is null. The default for set-if-null is false.
-process:convert
-The convert tag does the same thing as copy
-except that the type can be
-converted to the type specified in the type attribute. The format
-attribute
-can be used to specify the format for date/time fields. These two tags
-are
-in addition to all of the the attributes in the copy tag.
