if

EL expression that must be evaluated to true prior to handler action

unless

  EL expression that must be evaluated to false prior to handler action

Inside the handler, you can use the insert-script, delete-script and update-script tags. Each contains the BSH script that the engine will execute to perform inserts, deletes or updates. Within the BSH script you can refer to the same EL expressions predefined variables:

Variable

parent Parent DataNode
parent.instance Business object wrapped into parent DataNode
datasource DataSoruce the current DataNode belongs to

The following example shows how to save objects in file Country:

<datanode name="country">
    <script-handler >
        <insert-script>
            import java.io.*;
            f = new FileOutputStream ("country."+instance.abbreviation);
            oos = new ObjectOutputStream (f);
            oos.writeObject (instance);
            oos.close ();
            f.close ();
        </insert-script>
        <update-script>
            import java.io.*;
            f = new FileOutputStream ("country."+instance.abbreviation);
            oos = new ObjectOutputStream (f);
            oos.writeObject (instance);
            oos.close ();
            f.close ();
        </update-script>
        <insert-script>
            import java.io.*;
            f = new File ("country."+instance.abbreviation);
            f.delete ();
        </insert-script>
    </script-handler>
        ...
</datanode>
