- Third actor in the FP-Akka QC workflow.
- Akka actor for validating XXX fields.
- Uses the class injected into the XXX field (fp.services.InternalDateValidationService and its parent XXX) to carry out validation tasks.
- Receives individual SpecimenRecord instances from upstream MongoDBReader.
- For each specimen record:
- Disassembles the specimen record into fields.
- Calls the validateScientificName() method on the scientificNameService (implemented by fp.services.SciNameServiceParent) passing the individual field values extracted from the record.
- Calls getters getCurationStatus(), getCorrectedScientificName(), getCorrectedAuthor(), getLSID(), getComment(), getServiceName() on the scientificNameService to extract validation results.
- If the result returned by getCurationStatus() is CURATED or Filled_In, replaces the scientificName and scientificNameAuthorship fields in the input specimen record with the results from getCorrectedScientificName() and getCorrectedAuthor() respectively.
- Adds to the input specimen record three fields with labels scinComment, scinStatus, and scinSource using the results from getCurationStatus(), getComment(), and getServiceName() on the scientificNameService.
- Forwards the updated specimen record to downstream actors in workflow.
- Comment by T.M. The NewScientificNameValidator actor overwrites the original scientificName and scientificNameAuthorship fields in each record that it updates. Downstream actors in the workflow, including MongoDBWriter which saves the workflow results, do not have programmatic access to the original values in these fields.
