Configuring a connector to use data handlers

If a data handler is to run in the context of a connector, you must configure the connector to use a data handler:

Connectors are configured to obtain this configuration information in different ways. For example:

Other connectors may have different ways of configuring the use of a data handler. See the adapter guide for the connector for more information.

If the connector cannot find the data handler top-level meta-object, or it cannot determine the class name or MIME type, then it cannot create the data handler. Therefore, when you are configuring a connector to use a data handler, be sure to:

  1. Determine how to configure the name of the top-level data-handler meta-object for the connector. Make sure that the spelling of the meta-object name is correct.
  2. Determine how to configure the MIME type. Make sure that the MIME type is spelled correctly.
  3. Make sure that the top-level data-handler meta-object is in the supported objects list for the connector.
  4. Make sure that the child meta-object for the data handler has the value of the data handler class name (in the ClassName attribute) specified correctly.
