<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">the extensibility of Metamorph is a bit limited as it is currently not possible to extend the schema. As a workaround you could use the java-function
which allows you to use any Java class that implements the Function interface as a function. It would look like this in Metamoprh:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">It would be really cool to be able to add new functionality to Metamorph properly by extending the schema. I think it should not be too complicated.
There are just two problems that need to be solved:<br>
1. The schema need to be adapted so that can be extended. I reckon that best way to do this is with a substitution group for the functions (and optionally the collectors). New elements can be added to these groups in derived schemas (I have not looked into
this in detail, so there might be some caveats). I found the book “XML Schema” by Eric van der Vlist quite helpful when working with XML Schema in the past.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">2. Metamorph need to be made aware of the derived schema (in fact of the derived schemata as there might be more than one extension package). I
have yet not thought about this point. There might be a way with Java XML use more than one schema for validation. However, a quick search seems to not confirm this, as the first hit on Google suggest to automatically generate a parent schema which includes
the other ones see [1].<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<br>
<br>
I want to implement additional morph functions in my own repository and deploy them AS packaged jar-files<br>
<br>
There is a nice procedure with flux commands which are loaded as plugins when they are part of the plugins directory in the metafacture-runner repository. The only thing to be done is to write an additional flux-commands.properties file with the new commands.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Metamorph functions in contrast have to be defined in the metamorph.xsd schema ( <group name="function">) part of the metafacture-core repository.<br>
An additional morph-functions.properties file isn't enough. I get errors like:<br>
<br>
Exception in thread "main" org.culturegraph.mf.exceptions.MetafactureException: class org.culturegraph.mf.morph.Metamorph could not be instantiated<br>

At the moment I can't see a possibility to extend the metamorph.xsd in my extensions without changing the original schema and compiling the metafacture-core by my own.<br>
<br>
Any suggestions?<br>
