Advanced UI on a Processor
Hi
I have to create a processor that dedupes some values held in an flowfile attribute against a set of 'criteria' that may vary over time. I then need to update/create a new attribute based on the algorithm and then route on this attribute. I have a prototype of this processor working but I currently input the criteria as properties, but because of the fluidity of the criteria this is impracticable to maintain.I thought I could use an Advanced tab such as that used in the UpdateAttribute processor, this would allow me to input as many criteria as I wish hold them in some sort of set and then use them within my processor algorithm without having to rebuild the processor. So I would be looking at changing 'rule' to criteria, dispense with the 'conditions' area and change the actions area columns to Start and Stop.
To try this out I have copied the UpdateAttribute sub-project, when I rename the processor within the project and build it the 'Advanced' button is no longer visible in the processor properties tab. How do I ensure the 'Advanced' button appears on my processor and the Advanced pane appears?
Many ThanksDave

Thanks for that, it worked a treat, now I can work how to make my own Advanced UI.

Under META-INF in the war you should see a file that indicates which processor type that custom UI is for. Make sure that has your processors type specified. Let me know if that helps.
