Interface DownloadTarget

@ProviderType public interface DownloadTarget

Specifies an entity that should be included in a download initiated through the DownloadService.

Depending on its type, a target will be routed to a DownloadTargetProcessor implementation, which will use the target's parameters to retrieve one or more binary URIs to include in the download. The parameters are flexible and specific to the type of target.

For example, assume there is an target whose type is "asset". A parameter applicable to this type might be a "path", whose value would be the sling path to the asset. The target would go through a DownloadTargetProcessor designed to handle assets, and the implementation would include the asset's original rendition URI as the binary to include in the download. Alternatively, the processor might return URIs for all of the asset's renditions, which would be an example of a single target generating multiple URIs.

      Parameters:
      parameterName - The name of the parameter whose value to retrieve.
      defaultValue - Value to return if the parameter has no value.
      Returns:
      The given parameter's value, or the given defalt value.

    • getParameterNames
