All the settings above ending on ".class" indicate that the implementation of a certain feature can be replaced by alternative implementations. There is usually a choice of several classes to choose from. But our framework does at least enable the installer to replace the default class with a class of his own, if no existing alternatives are suitable.

We now describe the available plugs, and existing plugins for these plugs.

settings.common.remoteFile.class: This setting allows you to select your chosen way of filetransfer in the NetarchiveSuite. You can here choose between FTPRemoteFile (where the data is transferred using a FTP-server), HTTPRemoteFile (where the data is transferred using a two embedded webservers (one at each end), and HTTPSRemoteFile which works just like HTTPRemoteFile except it uses a shared certificate file for secure communication. Note that the HTTPRemoteFile and HTTPSRemoteFile requires dedicated ports in the firewall to be open between all possible senders and recipients of data. For implementers of new filetransfer methods, this class must implement the class dk.netarkivet.common.distribute.RemoteFile. The default value is FTPRemoteFile.

settings.harvester.datamodel.database.specifics.class: This setting allows you select which type of database you want to use. There are support for 3 types already: An Embedded Derby database (dk.netarkivet.harvester.datamodel.DerbyEmbeddedSpecifics), an external Derby database (dk.netarkivet.harvester.datamodel.DerbyClientSpecifics), or an MySQL database (dk.netarkivet.harvester.datamodel.MySQLSpecifics). The default is DerbyEmbeddedSpecifics. If you choose not to use the default, you need to replace the default database URL(setting settings.harvester.datamodel.database.url), and maybe the time for the daily backup to start (setting settings.harvester.datamodel.database.backupInitHour))

settings.common.jms.class This class designates what kind of JMS broker the NetarchiveSuite uses to send messages between applications. Presently only the Sun JMS brokers is supported (dk.netarkivet.common.distribute.JMSConnectionSunMQ). This class must implement the dk.netarkivet.common.distribute.JMSConnection class.

settings.common.arcrepositoryClient.class. Must implement dk.netarkivet.common.distribute.ArcRepositoryClient The available choices are the default dk.netarkivet.archive.arcrepository.distribute.JMSArcRepositoryClient (that is required, if you want to access the distributed type of archive that is included in the NetarchiveSuite). and the dk.netarkivet.common.distribute.LocalArcRepositoryClient (allows for access to a local archive)

settings.common.notifications.class: Allows for different ways of making notifications. The default choice is the class 

dk.netarkivet.common.utils.EMailNotifications

(which allows you to receive notifications by email). The use of this plugin requires setting the mail-server, the recipient- and sending email-address. Alternatively, you can use 

dk.netarkivet.common.utils.PrintNotifications

, which simply prints the notifications to 

stderr

on the terminal.

settings.common.webinterface.sitesection.class This setting allows you to add webmodules to the NetarchiveSuite GUI. Several SiteSection classes can be active in the same GUI. the default(standard) configuration contains all 5 existing webmodules:

  1. HarvestDefinition: Allows you to define and schedule harvests ,
  2. HarvestHistory: See the status of running and finished harvestjobs
  3. BitPreservation: This module has tools for sanity testing data in the bitarchives
  4. QA: Module for doing Quality Assurance
  5. Status: Module for monitoring the health of all machines and applications

settings.common.webinterface.language: The languages supported by the webinterface. Danish (locale=da), English (locale=en), German (locale=de), and Italian (locale=it) are supported currently. The Coding Guidelines will tell you how to add support for more languages to the NetarchiveSuite.

settings.common.indexClient: The client selected for access to indices. Indices are requested by the HarversterControllerApplication instances.

    <indexClient>
        <!-- The class instantiated to give access to indices. Will be created by IndexClientFactory -->
        <class>dk.netarkivet.archive.indexserver.distribute.IndexRequestClient</class>
        <!-- The amount of time, in milliseconds, we should wait for replies
             when issuing a call to generate an index over som jobs.
         -->
        <indexRequestTimeout>43200000</indexRequestTimeout>
    </indexClient>

settings.common.monitorregistryClient.class. This defines which class to use for monitor registry. Must implement the interfacedk.netarkivet.common.distribute.monitorregistry.MonitorRegistryClient. There is two available implementations:

  • dk.netarkivet.common.distribute.monitorregistry.PrintMonitorRegistryClient (just prints out how to stdout the JMXport and RMIport to use for connecting to its JVM.
  • dk.netarkivet.monitor.distribute.JMSMonitorRegistryClient: registers itself centrally with a registry by sending JMS messages every minute. This delay can be configured with the *settings.common.monitorregistryClient.reregisterdelay *setting.
    The default class is dk.netarkivet.monitor.distribute.JMSMonitorRegistryClient. settings.common.freespaceprovider.class: This setting defines which plugin to use for reporting how much free space is available. Must implement the dk.netarkivet.common.utils.FreeSpaceProvider interface. Available implementations are:
  • dk.netarkivet.common.utils.DefaultFreeSpaceProvider (uses File.getUsableSpace() to compute the free space available)
  • dk.netarkivet.common.utils.FilebasedFreeSpaceProvider (Reads the free space available out of a file)
    The default class is dk.netarkivet.common.utils.DefaultFreeSpaceProvider.

settings.archive.admin.class: Class for accessing and manipulating the administrative data for the ArcRepository. All classes must implement the dk.netarkivet.archive.arcrepositoryadmin.AdminData interface. The available implementations are:

  • dk.netarkivet.archive.arcrepositoryadmin.UpdateableAdminData (filebased implementation that uses a admin.data file containing the ingested files and their checksums).
  • dk.netarkivet.archive.arcrepositoryadmin.DatabaseAdmin (database implementation that uses a database defined by the following settings: settings.archive.admin.database.[class|machine|port|dir].
    The default class is dk.netarkivet.archive.arcrepositoryadmin.UpdateableAdminData

settings.archive.admin.database.class: Which class to use for your adminDB database. This plugin is used, if the setting settings.archive.admin.class is set to the class dk.netarkivet.archive.arcrepositoryadmin.DatabaseAdmin and the setting settings.archive.bitpreservation.class is set to the class dk.netarkivet.archive.arcrepository.bitpreservation.DatabaseBasedActiveBitPreservation.

settings.archive.bitpreservation.class: Setting for which class should handle ActiveBitPreservation. All implementations must implement the dk.netarkivet.archive.arcrepository.bitpreservation.ActiveBitPreservation. The following implementations are available:

  • dk.netarkivet.archive.arcrepository.bitpreservation.DatabaseBasedActiveBitPreservation (uses a database to store the results of the bitpreservation actions).
  • dk.netarkivet.archive.arcrepository.bitpreservation.FileBasedActiveBitPreservation (stores the results of bitpreservation actions to a set of files on disk.)

settings.harvester.harvesting.heritrixController.class: This class handles the communication to a running Heritrix instance. All implementations must implement the dk.netarkivet.harvester.harvesting.HeritrixController interface. There are two implementations available of which one is deprecated:

  • dk.netarkivet.harvester.harvesting.DirectHeritrixController (deprecated; embeds a Heritrix CrawlController which starts and stops one crawl job)
  • dk.netarkivet.harvester.harvesting.JMXHeritrixController (Starts Heritrix as an independent process, ready to crawl a predefined crawljob; Heritrix is asked to shutdown after the crawljob has terminated)
    The default class is dk.netarkivet.harvester.harvesting.JMXHeritrixController.

settings.wayback.urlcanonicalizer.classname: The class used to canonicalize urls. This class must implement the interface org.archive.wayback.UrlCanonicalizer. The only acceptable implementation is dk.netarkivet.wayback.batch.copycode.NetarchiveSuiteAggressiveUrlCanonicalizer which is luckily the default class.
