Specifying the data handler

This topic contains an overview and procedure for specifying the data handler.

Overview of specifying the data handler

You configure a data handler by specifying values for the following connector-specific configuration properties:

For further information on these properties, see XREF

Steps for specifying the data handler

Before you begin: If you are using an XML data handler, you can simply use the default values for the data handler connector configuration properties. All three of these properties--DataHandlerClassName, DataHandlerConfigMO, and DataHandlerMimeType--are, by default, configured for use with an XML data handler.

To configure a data handler, do the following:

  1. Using Connector Configurator, click the Connector-Specific Properties tab.
  2. Specify a property for DataHandlerClassName that corresponds to the data handler you wish to configure.
  3. Specify a property for DataHandlerConfigMO that corresponds to the data handler you wish to configure.
  4. Specify a property for DataHandlerMimeType that corresponds to the data handler you wish to configure.
  5. Apply the properties in Connector Configurator.

Note:
Specifying values for these properties in a static or dynamic meta-object takes precedence over values specified in these connector-specific properties. For further information, see Meta-object properties.
