This DataProvider, reads an XML with a pull/push parser and executes fields bound to xml events. At the moment, only pull parser is handled, using the AXIOM implementation. Called fields are the following:

  • START_DOCUMENT,
  • END_DOCUMENT,
  • NAMESPACE,
  • PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION,
  • ENTITY_REFERENCE,
  • DTD,
  • ATTRIBUTE,
  • START_ELEMENT,
  • END_ELEMENT,
  • CHARACTERS,

In addition to 'input' and 'output' variables, following are bound to the context of expressions:

  • environment: an helper map to pass objects between field;
  • parser: the pull/push parser.

The following table shows the CollectionDataProvider element's attributes:
