All Implemented Interfaces:
Importer

@Service(Importer.class) @Properties(@Property(name="service.description",value="Abstract HTTP based Importer")) @Deprecated public abstract class HttpImporter extends Object implements Importer
Deprecated.
Please use HCImporter instead.
The HttpImporter is an abstract implementation of the Importer service interface supporting access to data using the HTTP protocol.

Extensions of this base class must implement the importData(String, InputStream, String, Resource) method to actuall import the retrieved data.

Instanes of this base class must be initialized before being used and be destroyed when not used any more. If the extesion is registered as an Declarative Services Component, this initialization and destroyal is being taken care of. Otherwise, the extension class must explicitly call the init() and destroy() methods respectively.

The activate(ComponentContext) and deactivate(ComponentContext) methods may be overwritten by extension classes but the base class implementation must called in this case to ensure proper initialization and destroyal.

      target - The Resource into which the data is to be imported.
      Throws:
      ImportException - If an error occurrs while accessing the source or if this class has not beenn initialized or if an error occurs while importing the actual data through importData(String, InputStream, String, Resource).
