Documentation open ATFX MDF4 driver

Christian Rechner, AUDI AG

Introduction

This application allows accessing the content of an MDF3/MDF4 file via an ASAM ODS Session, backed by an ATFX-File, and the export of this file. The file contents including Meta-Data are transformed to the ASAM ODS standard and can be accessed using ASAMs OO-API.

Dependencies

This project uses the following librarys:

  • openatfx (ATFX backed ODS backend, can be obtained from SourceForge)
  • JUnit (Testing Framework)
  • ASAM ODS (Interfaces for the ASAM OO-API)
  • Apache Commons Logging (Logging Framework)
  • Log4j (Logging Framework)
  • STAX API (Java XML Framework)
  • STAX2 API (Java XML Framework)

Java code example for opening a ASAM ODS session on an ATFX file

import java.nio.file.Path;
import java.nio.file.Paths;

import org.asam.ods.AoSession;
import org.omg.CORBA.ORB;

import de.rechner.openatfx_mdf.ConvertException;
import de.rechner.openatfx_mdf.MDFConverter;

public class Example{
    public static void main(String[] args) throws ConvertException{
        ORB orb = ORB.init(new String[0], System.getProperties());
        Path path = Paths.get("C:\\myExample.mf4");
        MDFConverter reader = new MDFConverter();
        AoSession aoSession = reader.getAoSessionForMDF(orb, path);
    }
}
