Configuring an XML data driver by using a configuration file

You can configure an XML data driver by using a configuration file.

About this task

To configure an XML data driver, you can write some code that uses a configuration file when a driver instance is created.

Procedure

To configure an XML data driver by using a configuration file:

Use code such as the following, which demonstrates how to read a configuration file and use it when a driver instance is created.

import ilog.rules.util.resources.IlrResources;

IlrReflect reflect = ... // coming from somewhere
IlrResources res = reflect.getResources();
res.putString( "ilog.rules.xml.errorHandlerClass", "MyXmlErrorHandler" );
try {
IlrXmlDataDriver driver = IlrXmlHelper.createDataDriver ( reflect );
} catch ( IlrXmlErrorException e) {}
      // process creation error
   }
}
else {
   // process error
}

The following example shows the resource file:

node ilog.rules.xml
{
  element errorHandlerClass = "MyXmlErrorHandler";
}

Note:

Use the Java™ API to set the XML parser property, do not set it directly in the file.
