Basic Requirements

Timothy begins his work on Oracle Secure Enterprise Search crawler plug-ins. He first prepares a list that includes some of the basic requirements for the developers. He then lists some of the crawler plug-in requirements.

The requirements list for the developers include the following :

Java Technology: The plug-in must be implemented in Java. Hence, the developer should be a Java programmer.

Oracle SES API: The plug-in must support the Java plug-in APIs defined by Oracle Secure Enterprise Search. The developer must be well acquainted with the Oracle SES crawler plug-in APIs.

The developer must be familiar with the Oracle SES Admin tool.

The requirements list for the crawler plug-in includes the following:

The plug-in must return URL attributes and properties for each document

The plug-in must decide which document attributes Oracle SES should keep. Attributes that are not defined in Oracle SES will be registered automatically.

The plug-in can map attributes to source properties.

Understanding the Display URL

The plug-in must be coded specifically to check for and handle different mimetypes and large file sizes.

With these basic requirements fully met, Timothy can implement any crawler plug-in.
