package com.ganteater.ae.processor
Execution engine and command dispatch for Anteater XML recipes.

This package implements the runtime that executes a parsed recipe document and performs reflective dispatch from XML elements (“commands”) to Java methods on a Processor implementation (typically BaseProcessor).

Recipe processing model

Recipes are parsed into a tree of Node instances. The engine traverses that tree and, for each element, resolves a handler method whose name is derived from the tag. For example, a <Copy/> tag is handled by a runCommandCopy(Node) method.

Certain tags are treated as engine-level control-flow primitives rather than being dispatched to a runCommand... method; those are enumerated by SpecialCommands.

Execution state and variables

During execution the processor tracks state including the current node, stop/pause flags, and variable scopes used for attribute and text substitution. Command implementations in BaseProcessor typically read attributes from nodes and act on the filesystem, environment, and external tools.

Concurrency

Some recipe sections can run concurrently. TaskProcessorThread provides a Runnable that executes a nested task and integrates with RecipeListener callbacks.

Key types

Minimal example

 Processor processor = new BaseProcessor(manager, log, baseDir);
 Node recipe = new EasyParser().load("path/to/recipe.xml");
 processor.processTesting(recipe, manager.getSystemVariables(), baseDir);
