3.1.4.4 AddContentSource

  • Article

This operation is used to create a new content source in the crawler application’s portal content project.

 <wsdl:operation name="AddContentSource">
         <wsdl:input message="AddContentSourceSoapIn"/>
         <wsdl:output message="AddContentSourceSoapOut"/>
 </wsdl:operation>

The protocol client sends an AddContentSourceSoapIn request message and the protocol server responds with an AddContentSourceSoapOut response message, as follows:

  • On receipt the protocol server validates the versionIn value from the request message. If it doesn’t match the current configuration version of the crawler application, the protocol server MUST throw a SOAP fault message containing an UpdatedConcurrencyException.

  • The protocol server then updates the current configuration version of the crawler application to the value of versionIn+1.

  • The protocol server creates a new content source with the properties type and name set to the values of the corresponding elements in the request message.

  • The id property of the newly created content source MUST be unique within the collection of content sources.

  • If the content source is created successfully, the protocol server MUST return the content source identifier in the AddContentSourceResult element in the response message.

  • On error, the protocol server MUST throw a SOAP fault message.
