Description

The Atom Query Response Transformer transforms a Query Response into an Atom 1.0 feed. The Atom transformer maps a QueryResponse object as described in the Query Result Mapping.

Usage

Use this transformer when Atom is the preferred medium of communicating information such as for feed readers or federation. An integrator could use this with an endpoint to transform query responses into an Atom feed.

For example, clients can use the OpenSearch Endpoint. The client can query with the format option set to the shortname, atom.

Sample OpenSearch query with Atom specified as return format

http://localhost:8181/services/catalog/query?q=ddf?format=atom

Developers could use this transformer to programmatically transform QueryResponse objects on the fly (See Implementation Details on the details to acquire the Service).

Installation and Uninstallation

Catalog Transformers App will install this feature when deployed. This transformer's feature, catalog-transformer-atom, can be uninstalled or installed using the normal processes described in the Configuration section.
