Shalin, thanks for the pointer.
The following data-config.xml worked. The trick was realising
that EVERY entity tag needs to have its own datasource, I guess
I had been assuming that it was implicit for certain processors.
The whole thing is confusing in that there is both the dataSource
element(s), which is to all intents and purposes required, and an
optional dataSource attribute of the entity element. If the entity
dataSource attribute is missing it defaults to one of the defined
ones??? Unless you are using FileListEntityProcessor where you have
to explicitly state you are not using a dataSource.
As a newbie I think my lesson learnt, is to name every dataSource
element I define and to reference named dataSources from every
entity element I add, except for FileListEntityProcessor where
is has to be set to null.
<dataConfig>
<document>
<dataSource name="myfilereader" type="FileDataSource"/>
<entity name="jcurrent"
processor="FileListEntityProcessor"
dataSource="null"
fileName=".*xml"
newerThan="'NOW-1000DAYS'"
recursive="true"
rootEntity="false"
baseDir="/Volumes/spare/ts/j/groups">
<entity name="x"
processor="XPathEntityProcessor"
dataSource="myfilereader"
url="${jcurrent.fileAbsolutePath}"
stream="false"
forEach="/record"
transformer="DateFormatTransformer">0
<field column="title" xpath="/record/title"/>
<field column="subject"
xpath="/record/metadata/subje...@qualifier='fullTitle']"/>
<field column="text" xpath="/para" />
<field column="pubname"
xpath="/record/metadata/subje...@qualifier='publication']"/>
<field column="pubabrev"
xpath="/record/metadata/subje...@qualifier='pubAbbrev']"/>
<field column="pubdate"
xpath="/record/metadata/da...@qualifier='pubDate']"/>
</entity>
</entity>
</document>
</dataConfig>
Regards Fergus.
