Definition
Many IT applications, within their business process, need to read an Excel file. Gvvcl-excelreader plug-in helps IT organizations integrating applications that use Excel format to execute their business. Gvvcl-excelreader plug-in is compatible with all Excel formats up to version 2003, and it is very simple to configure. It receives in input a binary stream containing the Excel file, and returns in output a corresponding XML structure. At the output of Gvvcl-excelreader plug-in is possible to apply a ChangeGvBufferNode operation (with OGNL script or an XSL transformation) to retrieve all interested data.
GreenVulcano® ESB provides two different tools, GV Console® and VulCon®, to configure all supported plug-ins in GV services.
VulCon® Configuration
excelreader-call is the operation that must be configured into System section (see also Category:VulCon), to convert an Excel file in GVBuffer.object field, in an XML document.
In order to add an operation excelreader-call you must perform the following operation:
- open VulCon:System section
- Then click right mouse button and select "insert before" label --> excelreader-call
- In layout fill in field name, i.e. the name of operation that will be used in VulCon:Service section
- Other fields class, onlyData and type will be ignored
At this point, you have configured an operation of type excelreader-call.
To use an excelreader-call in a GreenVulcano® ESB service, you need to perfom the following steps:
- In VulCon:Services section select the services that you want modify or you can create a new Services
- On flow tag, click the right mouse button and select "insert before"
- On the list of GreenVulcano node select GvOperationNode
- On the template that appears, select from drop down list, input field, next-node-id and as operation-name the operation configured in the system. Fill in fields id and output.
- Use VulCon® function Export in compressed file
- Reload configuration from GV Console Reload configuration
At this point you have inserted an excelreader-call operation within a GreenVulcano® ESB service.
GV Console® Configuration
excelreader-call is the operation that must be configured into GV Console® system section, to convert an Excel file in GVBuffer.object field, in a XML document.
To add an operation excelreader-call you must perform the following operation:
- Open GV Console system section
- Click button "insert before" and select label --> excelreader-call
- In layout fill in field name, i.e. the name of operation that will be used in VulCon:Service section
- Other fields class, onlyData and type will be ignored
At this point, you have configured an operation of type excelreader-call in Gv Console®.
To use an excelreader-call in a GreenVulcano® ESB service, you need to perfom the following steps:
- In GV Console services section select the services that you want to modify or, alternatively, you can create a new Services
- On flow tag, click the add operation node button and select "insert before"
- On the list of GreenVulcano node select GvOperationNode
- On the template that appear, select from drop down list, input field, next-node-id and as operation-name the operation configured in the system. Fill in fields id and output.
- Click save button and terminate editing
- Reload configuration from GV Console Reload configuration
At this point you have configured a service with an excelreader operation.
Example
This example shows an XML document generated by a simple Excel sheet (without cols and rows grouping). Given an Excel sheet with the following structure:
| ID1 | ID2 | ID3 | ID4 | ID5 | ID6 | ID7 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 23 | 23232 | 23 | 23333 | 1 | 2 | 3 |
| 24 | 24444 | 23 | 23332 | 1 | 2 | 3 |
excelreader-call generates the following XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<workbook>
<sheet number="0">
<name><![CDATA[Foglio1]]></name>
<row number="0">
<col number="0">
<data><![CDATA[ID1]]></data>
