The Interceptor allows for manipulation of the metadata before storing in the database.
As of Version2020 Winter
HTTP MethodPOST
Response Format (question)FormatJSON
Predicate

The predicate is applied on allall objects of the objects  list in the data part of the multipart body after enrichment. If at least one object matches, the interceptor is called.

Description

It can be trigger by

  • an object import,
  • an update of the content or
  • an update of the metadata.

The take-off point of the interceptor is after the REPOSITORY service. The initial request body is already normalized, validated and enriched with system content stream properties as can be seen in the examples provided below.

The enriched multipart request body is taken by the interceptor. It always contains a data part, that contains an objects list with the metadata of the affected objects. For each object, the options section contains the parameter action that indicates the type of the call in an action code.
The predicate is applied to every single object in the list. The Interceptor is triggered for the whole object list as soon as one object satisfies the predicate

Within the interceptor, any user-defined operation can be executed on the corresponding metadata , e.g. by calling an the external endpoint specified as url in the interceptor configuration. Afterwards, the modified multipart has to be routed back to continue the regular process at the suitable point.

If the interceptor should continue the regular process exactly at the take-off point, pass the multipart to http://registry/api/dms/objects.

Requirements for external endpoint (question)The target URL must be a POST endpoint accepting a multipart request body and returning a list of objects as JSON.
