NLexConnectorBase
A base library for building N-Lex Connector (http://eur-lex.europa.eu/n-lex/).
N-Lex is a common access to different legislative websites. The N-Lex website is available at http://eur-lex.europa.eu/n-lex/.
When the user accesses a common website, N-Lex, fills a common search form, then his query is transmitted to the selected legislative connector and N-Lex shows the result in its own web-page.
A connector is an interface from the N-Lex portal to the national legislation. Connectors are simple web-services (SOAP). There are currently 4 methods that must be implemented:
String VERSION()String test_query()String request (String query)// query and result are XML documentsString about_connector (String type)
This project contains a base for building such connectors using Java Web Services. The AbstractConnector class is a base for that connector. Beside extending this class you have to:
- implement the
QueryBuilderinterface to build a query for your legislative system and - implement the
QueryResultinterface that returns results of user query
