Thank you Steve. I am looking into your suggestions. I have abandoned my use of
NetBeans for lack of a reliable Scala plugin.
I see on the Daffodil site, a reference to using a Scala IDE add-in.
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/DAFFODIL/Eclipse+Tricks+and+Notes
What I have yet to find is a working link to get the plugin referenced. In
addition, I need to install this on a system with
No internet connectivity. So, I'd like to find a download, copy it to my target
system, and be able to add it to Eclipse.
Does anyone have a suggestion where to look for the Scala IDE add-in?
Thanks everyone for your help,
Mark T

Subject: EXT :Re: Extending JAPI for processing binary input with an XML Payload
I've put a decent amount of thought into this issue, I'll add some additional
info that might help out...

The InfosetOutputter class is an abstract class with no default
implementations, so an implementation of all functions, including startSimple,
is required--InfosetInputters don't do anything by default.
The InfosetOutputters that are bundled with Daffodil implement all of these
functions to create the kind of infoset that is output (e.g. XML text, Scala
Nodes, JSON). If you want to take a look at how our bundled implementations
handle their logic, they are all in this folder:
https://github.com/apache/daffodil/tree/main/daffodil-runtime1/src/main/scala/org/apache/daffodil/infoset
If you plan to keep your InfosetOutputter outside of the Daffodil codebase,
you'll need to implement all of the functions/logic yourself.
Our current implementions are mostly private, so extending and overriding them
to do you you want is likely not possible.
A good place to start would be to pick one that that's close to what you want
and modify the various functions as described in the example implementation in
the runtime properties proposal:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/DAFFODIL/Proposal%3A+Runtime+Properties
Alternatively, it might be easier to just add the support to our existing
bundled InfosetOutputters to support this capability, and contribute that work
to Daffodil. Not only will this probably be easier since you can reuse alot of
the existing logic, but our ability to provide support greatly increases when
it's related to things being added to Daffodil. This feature is a request we've
seen multiple times--it would be a very welcome addition and we'd be happy help
get it added to Daffodil.
