Reader Directives

The directive processed by the Top10NL reader are listed below. The suffix shown is prefixed by the current <ReaderKeyword> in a mapping file. By default, the <ReaderKeyword> for the Top10NL reader is TOP10.

DATASET

Required/Optional: Required

The value for this keyword is the file name of the Top10NL file to be read. The normal extension for the files is .xml.

An example of the DATASET keyword in use is:

TOP10_DATASET /user/data/top10/Roads.xml

Workbench Parameter: Source Dutch TOP10 File(s)

EXPOSED_ATTRS

This directive allows the selection of format attributes to be explicitly added to the reader feature type.

This is similar to exposing format attributes on a reader feature type once it has been generated; however, it is even more powerful because it enables schema-driven applications other than Workbench to access and leverage these attributes as if they were explicitly on the schema as user attributes.

The result of picking a list of attributes is a comma-separated list of attribute names and types that will be added to the schema features. Currently all reader feature types will receive the same set of additional schema attributes for a given instance of the reader.

Required/Optional

Optional
