The GMapGetGen retrieves a value from a G-MapServer based on a referenced value representing the key.

Component Diagram

The component diagram below shows how the GMapGetGen interacts with the G-MapServer.

Generator Parameters

The following parameters may be configured for the GMapGetGen Generator. Items with an asterisk* are required.

• configPath* - Defines the base path where a configuration file contains the REST URL and port for connecting to a G-MapServer.
• configSubDir - Defines an optional subdirectory where a configuration file contains the REST URL and port for connecting to a G-MapServer.
• configName* - Defines the name of the configuration file that contains the REST URL and port for connecting to a G-MapServer.
• namespace* - Defines the namespace within a G-MapServer to store key/value data.
• mapKeyName* - Defines the name of the key to query for within the namespace of a G-Map Server.
• keyReference* - Defines the Attribute to reference whose Generator will generate the value used as the key.
• callOption*- Defines how often the Generator calls G-MapServer to retrieve a mapped value. The options are as follows: 
  • Each - Call on each iteration. 
  • Once - Called only once on the first iteration.
  • OnParent - Called once on each loop of the parent calling the child. 
• defaultValue - Defines the default value to be used when no value is returned from the G-Map Server for a particular key or when the current Attribute using this Generator needs to be referenced in another Attribute.
