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.
