95.3. Command processors

A command is a string which is evaluated by a command processor. The most general form for a command is:

!command_processor_class_name argument ... argument

where command_processor_class_name is the fully qualified name of the Java™ class which implements the command processor (implements interface com.xmlmind.xmleditapp.genericincl.Processor).

Out of the box, XXE comes with two command processors:

com.xmlmind.xmleditapp.genericincl.ShellExec

This command processor allows to execute shell commands (i.e. shell scripts or .bat files).

Example:

!com.xmlmind.xmleditapp.genericincl.ShellExec %C/date.sh

However typing "!com.xmlmind.xmleditapp.genericincl.ShellExec" is very tedious, that's why when "!command_processor_class_name" is missing, this is equivalent to having a "!com.xmlmind.xmleditapp.genericincl.ShellExec" prefix:

%C/date.sh
com.xmlmind.xmleditapp.genericincl.Verbatim

This command processor allows to include all or part of text files.

Example:

!com.xmlmind.xmleditapp.genericincl.Verbatim programlisting main.c

However typing "!com.xmlmind.xmleditapp.genericincl.Verbatim" is very tedious, that's why "!!" is equivalent to having a "!com.xmlmind.xmleditapp.genericincl.Verbatim" prefix:

!! programlisting main.c
