All Implemented Interfaces:

ProcessorInterface

public class INFO

extends ProcessorModule

The INFO module provides access to the environment on which the mmbase system resides. It can retrieve information on the file system, system memory, time, current user or browser, and miscellaneous information that is not directly related to the object cloud. Most functions in this module are specific for SCAN - other scripting languages generally have their own ways of obtaining this data.

Method Detail

init

public void init()

Initializes the module. Determines the document root by reading system properties.

Overrides:

init in class ProcessorModule

getList

public java.util.Vector getList(scanpage sp,
                                StringTagger tagger,
                                java.lang.String value)
                         throws ParseException

Generate a list of values from a command to the processor. The commands processed are :
COLOR-BASIC : returns a list of (system) color names and their RGB values
RANGE-X-Y-Z : returns a list of values in the numeric range X to Y, using Z as the increment factor (step) i.e RANGE-0-12-3 returns the values 0, 3 ,6 ,9, 12
The default values of X, Y and Z are 1, 10 and 1.
RANGE-ALPHA : returns the values 'A' thru 'Z'
SCANDATE :returns a list of dates (date, month, day, day-of-week) of all directories in a given path with a file length of 10 characters. No, I don't get it either.

Specified by:

getList in interface ProcessorInterface

Overrides:

getList in class ProcessorModule

Parameters:

sp - the current page context

tagger - the parameters (name-value pairs) belonging to the command to process

value - the command to process

Returns:

a Vector containing the requested values.

Throws:

ParseException

process

public boolean process(scanpage sp,
                       java.util.Hashtable cmds,
                       java.util.Hashtable vars)

Execute the commands provided in the form values. Does not do anything except output debug code.

Specified by:

process in interface ProcessorInterface

Overrides:

process in class ProcessorModule

Parameters:

sp - the current page context

cmds - the command to process

vars - the variables to process

Returns:

alwyas false

replace

public java.lang.String replace(scanpage sp,
                                java.lang.String cmds)

Handle a $MOD command. This generally replaces the command in the SCAN page with the value returned by the command. Commands include:
BROWSER : returns browser or host name
DECODE : decodes a URL-encodes stringvalue
ENCODE : URL-encodes a strignvalue
ESCAPE : escapes the single quotes in a stringvalue
EXISTS : test if a file exists MEMORY : returns free meory
MOVE : Move a file on the system OS : retrieve the name of the user's Operating System RANDOM : returns a random number RELTIME : convert (relative) time values TIME : return a specific time value TIMEFORMAT/TIMEFORMATSEC : format a timevalue PARSETIME : parse time to seconds STRING : USER :

Specified by:

replace in interface ProcessorInterface

Overrides:

replace in class ProcessorModule

Parameters:

sp - the current page context

cmds - the command to process

Returns:

a String with the command's result value

getModuleInfo

public java.lang.String getModuleInfo()

Returns a description of the module.

Overrides:

getModuleInfo in class Module

Returns:

a String describing the module's function.

doExists

public java.lang.String doExists(scanpage sp,
                                 java.util.StringTokenizer tok)

Tests whether a given filename exists either as a directory, as a file, or as a path (depending on the subcommand given). Subcommands are DIR, FILE, and PATH. This subcommand need be followed by a filename.

Parameters:

sp - the current page context

tok - the commands to be executed

Returns:

a String withe the value 'YES' if the check succeeded, 'NO' if it failed.
