Method Detail

beforeProcessing

public void beforeProcessing()

Description copied from interface: IProcessingComponent

Invoked after the attributes marked with Processing and Input annotations have been bound, but before a call to IProcessingComponent.process(). In this method, the processing component should perform any initializations based on the runtime attributes. This method is called once per request.

Specified by:

beforeProcessing in interface IProcessingComponent

Overrides:

beforeProcessing in class ProcessingComponentBase

process

public void process()
             throws ProcessingException

Description copied from interface: IProcessingComponent

Performs the processing required to fulfill the request. This method is called once per request.

Specified by:

process in interface IProcessingComponent

Overrides:

process in class ProcessingComponentBase

Throws:

ProcessingException - when processing failed. If thrown, the IProcessingComponent.afterProcessing() method will be called and the component will be ready to accept further requests or to be disposed of. Finally, the exception will be rethrown from the controller method that caused the component to perform processing.

createFetcher

protected Callable<SearchEngineResponse> createFetcher(MultipageSearchEngine.SearchRange bucket)

Description copied from class: MultipageSearchEngine

Subclasses should override this method and return a Callable instance that fetches search results in the given range.

Note the query (if any is required) should be passed at the concrete class level. We are not concerned with it here.

Specified by:

createFetcher in class MultipageSearchEngine

Parameters:

bucket - The search range to fetch.
