This component allows you to clean up a directory that contains generated artifacts before (re-)generating these artifacts.
The DirectoryCleaner component provides the following configuration properties:
Table 1. Properties of DirectoryCleaner
| Name of property | Description |
|---|---|
| directory | Sets the path to the directory that should be cleaned. All subdirectories will be cleaned up as well. |
| useDefaultExcludes | This boolean value determines if directories that are internally used by version control systems, should be excluded from the cleanup. If this property is enabled, the directories that are used internally by i.e. Subversion will not be cleaned up. |
| excludes | This property allows to add further directories that should be excluded from the cleanup process. |
The IfComponent is a very simple component that allows e.g. to temporarily disable one or more subcomponents.
For example:
<workflow>
<component class="my.first.WorkflowComponent">
<aProp value="test"/>
</component>
<if cond="false">
<component class="my.second.WorkflowComponent">
<anotherProp value="test2"/>
</component>
</if>
<component class="my.third.WorkflowComponent">
<prop value="test"/>
</component>
</workflow>
This components provides only a single property:
Table 2. Properties of IfComponent
| Name of property | Description |
|---|---|
| cond | Determines if the subcomponents will be executed or not. Only the values true or false are allowed. |

The Writer component provides the following configuration properties:
Table 4. Properties of Writer
| Name of property | Description |
|---|---|
| modelSlot | Sets the name of the model slot that will be written out. |
| cloneSlotContents | This boolean value determines if the model contained in the specified slot will be cloned before it will be written out into a resource. |
| multipleResourcesInCaseOfLists | This boolean property specifies the writing behavior in the case that the specified model slot contains a list of models. If this property is set to true , each model will be written into a separate resource. Otherwise, all models will be written into a single resource. |
