Parameters:

sourceMimetype - the source mimetype

sourceSize - the size (bytes) of the source. If negative it is unknown.

targetMimetype - the target mimetype

options - the transformation options

Returns:

boolean true if this content transformer can satify the mimetypes, false otherwise

getComments

java.lang.String getComments(boolean available)

Deprecated.

Overridden to supply a comment or String of commented out transformation properties that specify any (hard coded or implied) supported transformations. Used when providing a list of properties to an administrators who may be setting other transformation properties, via JMX. Consider overriding if {link AbstractContentTransformerLimits.isTransformableMimetype(String, String, TransformationOptions) or ContentTransformerWorker.isTransformable(String, String, TransformationOptions) have been overridden.

Parameters:

available - indicates if the transformer has been registered and is available to be selected. false indicates that the transformer is only available as a component of a complex transformer.

Returns:

one line per property. The simple transformer name is returned by default as a comment.

getMaxSourceSizeKBytes

long getMaxSourceSizeKBytes(java.lang.String sourceMimetype,
                            java.lang.String targetMimetype,
                            TransformationOptions options)

Deprecated.

Returns the maximum source size (in KBytes) allowed given the supplied values.

Returns:

0 if the the transformation is disabled, -1 if there is no limit, otherwise the size in KBytes.

isExplicitTransformation

boolean isExplicitTransformation(java.lang.String sourceMimetype,
                                 java.lang.String targetMimetype,
                                 TransformationOptions options)

Deprecated.

Use transformer priority and unsupported transformer properties. Indicates whether given the provided transformation parameters this transformer can provide an explicit transformation. An explicit transformation indicates that the transformation happens directly and not as a result of another transformation process. Explicit transformation always take presidency over normal transformations.

Parameters:

sourceMimetype - the source mimetype

targetMimetype - the target mimetype

options - the transformation options

Returns:

boolean true if it is an explicit transformation, false otherwise

getTransformationTime

long getTransformationTime()

Deprecated.

use mimetype specific version.

getTransformationTime

long getTransformationTime(java.lang.String sourceMimetype,
                           java.lang.String targetMimetype)

Deprecated.

Provides an estimate, usually a worst case guess, of how long a transformation will take. Null mimetype values provide the overall value for the transformer.

This method is used to determine, up front, which of a set of equally reliant transformers will be used for a specific transformation.

Parameters:

sourceMimetype - the source mimetype

targetMimetype - the target mimetype

Returns:

Returns the approximate number of milliseconds per transformation

transform

void transform(org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.ContentReader reader,
               org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.ContentWriter writer)
        throws org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.ContentIOException

Deprecated.

Deprecated use {link transform(ContentReader, ContentWriter, TransformationOptions).

Throws:

org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.ContentIOException

transform(ContentReader, ContentWriter, TransformationOptions)

transform

@Deprecated
void transform(org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.ContentReader reader,
               org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.ContentWriter writer,
               java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.Object> options)
        throws org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.ContentIOException

Deprecated.

Deprecated since 3.0. Options should now be provided as a TransformationOptions object.

Transforms the content provided by the reader and source mimetype to the writer and target mimetype.

The source and target mimetypes must be available on the ContentAccessor.getMimetype() methods of both the reader and the writer.

Both reader and writer will be closed after the transformation completes.

Parameters:

reader - the source of the content

writer - the destination of the transformed content

options - options to pass to the transformer. These are transformer dependent and may be null.

Throws:

org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.ContentIOException - if an IO exception occurs

transform

void transform(org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.ContentReader reader,
               org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.ContentWriter contentWriter,
               TransformationOptions options)
        throws org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.ContentIOException

Deprecated.

Transforms the content provided by the reader and source mimetype to the writer and target mimetype with the provided transformation options.

The transformation viability can be determined by an up front call to isTransformable(String, String, TransformationOptions).

The source and target mimetypes must be available on the ContentAccessor.getMimetype() methods of both the reader and the writer.

Both reader and writer will be closed after the transformation completes.

The provided options can be null.

Parameters:

reader - the source of the content

contentWriter - the destination of the transformed content

options - transformation options, these can be null

Throws:

org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.ContentIOException - if an IO exception occurs

getName

java.lang.String getName()

Deprecated.

Returns transformer's name used in configuration.
