## com.novell.nds.dirxml.driver.delimitedtext
Interface Extension

All Known Subinterfaces:
  InputSorter, InputSource, PostProcessor, PreProcessor

public interface Extension

This is the parent interface for several Extension interfaces that allow you to extend the capabilities of the DirXML driver for Delimited Text. This interface is not meant to be implemented directly. It simply defines the `init` method that all interfaces that extend Extension have in common.

Method Summary
`void` | `init(java.lang.String parameterString, Tracer tracer)` Invoked right after the Extension is instantiated, which occurs very soon after the driver starts up.

Method Detail

### init

    public void init(java.lang.String parameterString,
                     Tracer tracer)
              throws StatusException,
                     java.lang.Exception

  Invoked right after the Extension is instantiated, which occurs very soon after the driver starts up. The method will only be called once.

  Parameters:
    `parameterString` - If an input-sorter-params element is found in the publisher settings, then this string will be the text contained there. Otherwise, it will be null.
    `tracer` - The Tracer object that this extension can use to print output to the DSTrace utility.
  Throws:
    `StatusException`
    `java.lang.Exception`
