Custom Tasks

Custom Tasks

The config_custom_tasks.xml configuration file contains the specific stages where a plugin can be called. Dynamic information is available to the plugin through the LRM Context object (com.lingoport.lrm.customtask.LRMContext). The lrm-customtasktest.jar, located in the samples/CustomTask/ folder of your install directory, contains methods for testing out these different stages.

Configuration

The config_custom_tasks.xml has elements for each stage of the LRM process that allows for custom tasks. The stages are:

custom-tasks>
	<stages>
		<prep-kit>
			<before-send-locale>
			    <!-- Tasks that will run BEFORE files are uploaded to the specified L10n Vendor -->
                        </before-send-locale>
			<after-send-locale>
			     <!-- Tasks that will run AFTER files have been successfully uploaded to the specified L10n Vendor -->
			</after-send-locale>
		</prep-kit>
		<notification>
			<before-notify-changes>	
			    <!-- Tasks that will run before the Notify Changes email is sent -->					   
			</before-notify-changes>
			<before-late-prep-kits>
			    <!-- Tasks that will run before the Late Prep Kit email is sent -->
			</before-late-prep-kits>
		</notification>
		<import-kit>
			<before-import-locale>
                            <!-- Tasks that will run before files for a specific locale are imported -->
			</before-import-locale>
			<after-import-locale>
			     <!-- Tasks that will run after files for a specific locale have been imported successfully -->
			</after-import-locale>
		</import-kit>
	</stages>
</custom-tasks>

Syntax of Task element

The task element has the following attributes:

• url - the location of the jar file that contains the custom task
• class - the class library that is to be called
• method - the method that is to be called
• onerrorresumenext - if false then the process continues if there is an error that is thrown. If true then the process will stop with an error.
