Details
JavaExecute executes Java commands.
Runnable transformation, which is required in the component,
implements a JavaRunnable interface and inherits other common methods from the Transform interface.
See Common Java Interfaces.
Below is the list of
JavaRunnable interface methods.
See Java Interfaces for JavaExecute for more information.
Java Interfaces for JavaExecute
Runnable transformation, which is required in the component, implements
a JavaRunnable interface and inherits other common methods from the Transform interface.
See Common Java Interfaces.
Following are the methods of the JavaRunnable
interface:
boolean init(Properties parameters)Initializes java class/function. This method is called only once at the beginning of transformation process. Any object allocation/initialization should happen here.
void free()This is de-initialization method for this graph element. All resources allocated in the
init()method should be released here. This method is invoked only once at the end of element existence.void run()The core method, which holds implementation of the Java code to be run by the JavaExecute component.
void setGraph(TransformationGraph graph)Method which passes into transformation graph instance within which the transformation will be executed. Since
TransformationGraphsingleton pattern was removed, it is NO longer POSSIBLE to access graph's parameters and other elements (e.g. metadata definitions) throughTransformationGraph.getInstance().
Best Practices
If the transformation is specified in an external file (with Runnable URL), we recommend users to explicitly set Runnable source charset.
Compatibility
JavaExecute is deprecated since CloverETL 4.1.0-M1.
Use CustomJavaComponent instead of JavaExecute.
