Method Summary | |
public void | accept(ItemVisitor visitor) Accepts an ItemVistor . | public Item | getAncestor(int depth) Returns the ancestor of the specified depth.
An ancestor of depth x is the Item that is x
levels down along the path from the root node to this
Item .
- depth = 0 returns the root node.
- depth = 1 returns the child of the root node along the path
to this
Item .
- depth = 2 returns the grandchild of the root node along the
path to this
Item .
- And so on to depth = n, where n is the depth
of this
Item , which returns this
Item itself.
If depth > n is specified then a
ItemNotFoundException is thrown.
Parameters: depth - An integer, 0 <= depth <= n where n is the depthof this Item . | public int | getDepth() Returns the depth of this Item in the workspace tree. | public String | getName() Returns the name of this Item . | public Node | getParent() Returns the parent of this Item .
The parent of this Item . throws: ItemNotFoundException - if there is no parent. | public String | getPath() Returns the absolute path to this item. | public Session | getSession() Returns the Session through which this Item
was acquired.
Every Item can ultimately be traced back through a series
of method calls to the call
Session.getRootNode ,
Session.getItem or
Session.getNodeByUUID . | public boolean | isModified() Returns true if this Item has been saved but has subsequently
been modified through the current session and therefore the state of this item as recorded
in the session differs from the state of this item as saved. | public boolean | isNew() Returns true if this is a new item, meaning that it exists only in transient
storage on the Session and has not yet been saved. | public boolean | isNode() Indicates whether this Item is a Node or a
Property . | public boolean | isSame(Item otherItem) Returns true if this Item object
(the Java object instance) represents the same actual workspace item as the
object otherItem .
Two Item objects represent the same workspace item if all the following
are true:
- Both objects were acquired through
Session objects that were created
by the same Repository object.
- Both objects were acquired through
Session objects bound to the same
repository workspace.
- The objects are either both
Node objects or both Property
objects.
- If they are
Node objects, they have the same correspondence identifier.
Note that this is the identifier used to determine whether two nodes in different
workspaces correspond but obviously it is also true that any node has the same
correspondence identifier as itself. | public void | refresh(boolean keepChanges) If keepChanges is false , this method discards all pending changes
currently recorded in this Session that apply to this Item or any of its descendants
(that is, the subtree rooted at this Item)and returns all items to reflect the current
saved state. | public void | remove() Removes this item (and its subtree).
To persist a removal, a save must be
performed that includes the (former) parent of the
removed item within its scope.
If a node with same-name siblings is removed, this decrements by one the
indices of all the siblings with indices greater than that of the removed
node. | public void | save() Validates all pending changes currently recorded in this Session that apply to this Item
or any of its descendants (that is, the subtree rooted at this Item). |
accept | public void accept(ItemVisitor visitor) throws RepositoryException(Code) | | Accepts an ItemVistor .
Calls the appropriate ItemVistor
visit method of the according to whether this
Item is a Node or a Property .
Parameters: visitor - The ItemVisitor to be accepted. throws: RepositoryException - if an error occurs. |
getAncestor | public Item getAncestor(int depth) throws ItemNotFoundException, AccessDeniedException, RepositoryException(Code) | | Returns the ancestor of the specified depth.
An ancestor of depth x is the Item that is x
levels down along the path from the root node to this
Item .
- depth = 0 returns the root node.
- depth = 1 returns the child of the root node along the path
to this
Item .
- depth = 2 returns the grandchild of the root node along the
path to this
Item .
- And so on to depth = n, where n is the depth
of this
Item , which returns this
Item itself.
If depth > n is specified then a
ItemNotFoundException is thrown.
Parameters: depth - An integer, 0 <= depth <= n where n is the depthof this Item . The ancestor of thisItem at the specified depth . throws: ItemNotFoundException - if depth < 0 ordepth > n where n is the is the depth ofthis item. throws: AccessDeniedException - if the current session does not havesufficient access rights to retrieve the specified node. throws: RepositoryException - if another error occurs. |
getDepth | public int getDepth() throws RepositoryException(Code) | | Returns the depth of this Item in the workspace tree.
Returns the depth below the root node of this Item
(counting this Item itself).
- The root node returns 0.
- A property or child node of the root node returns 1.
- A property or child node of a child node of the root returns 2.
- And so on to this
Item .
The depth of this Item in the workspace hierarchy. throws: RepositoryException - if an error occurs. |
getName | public String getName() throws RepositoryException(Code) | | Returns the name of this Item . The name of an item is the
last element in its path, minus any square-bracket index that may exist.
If this Item is the root node of the workspace (i.e., if
this.getDepth() == 0 ), an empty string will be returned.
the (or a) name of this Item or an empty stringif this Item is the root node. throws: RepositoryException - if an error occurs. |
getPath | public String getPath() throws RepositoryException(Code) | | Returns the absolute path to this item.
If the path includes items that are same-name sibling nodes properties
then those elements in the path will include the appropriate
"square bracket" index notation (for example, /a/b[3]/c ).
the path of this Item . throws: RepositoryException - if an error occurs. |
isModified | public boolean isModified()(Code) | | Returns true if this Item has been saved but has subsequently
been modified through the current session and therefore the state of this item as recorded
in the session differs from the state of this item as saved. Within a transaction,
isModified on an Item may return false (because the
Item has been saved since the modification) even if the modification in question
is not in persistent storage (because the transaction has not yet been committed).
Note that in level 1 (that is, read-only) implementations,
this method will always return false .
true if this item is modified; false otherwise. |
isNew | public boolean isNew()(Code) | | Returns true if this is a new item, meaning that it exists only in transient
storage on the Session and has not yet been saved. Within a transaction,
isNew on an Item may return false (because the item
has been saved) even if that Item is not in persistent storage (because the
transaction has not yet been committed).
Note that if an item returns true on isNew ,
then by definition is parent will return true on isModified .
Note that in level 1 (that is, read-only) implementations,
this method will always return false .
true if this item is new; false otherwise. |
isNode | public boolean isNode()(Code) | | Indicates whether this Item is a Node or a
Property .
Returns true if this Item is a Node ;
Returns false if this Item is a Property .
true if this Item is aNode , false if it is a Property . |
isSame | public boolean isSame(Item otherItem) throws RepositoryException(Code) | | Returns true if this Item object
(the Java object instance) represents the same actual workspace item as the
object otherItem .
Two Item objects represent the same workspace item if all the following
are true:
- Both objects were acquired through
Session objects that were created
by the same Repository object.
- Both objects were acquired through
Session objects bound to the same
repository workspace.
- The objects are either both
Node objects or both Property
objects.
- If they are
Node objects, they have the same correspondence identifier.
Note that this is the identifier used to determine whether two nodes in different
workspaces correspond but obviously it is also true that any node has the same
correspondence identifier as itself. Hence, this identifier is used here to
determine whether two different Java Node objects actually represent the same
workspace node.
- If they are
Property objects they have identical names and
isSame is true of their parent nodes.
This method does not compare the states of the two items. For example, if two
Item objects representing the same actual workspace item have been
retrieved through two different sessions and one has been modified, then this method
will still return true when comparing these two objects. Note that if two
Item objects representing the same workspace item
are retrieved through the same session they will always reflect the
same state (see section 5.1.3 Reflecting Item State in the JSR 283 specification
document) so comparing state is not an issue.
Parameters: otherItem - the Item object to be tested for identity with this Item . true if this Item object and otherItem represent the same actual repositoryitem; false otherwise. throws: RepositoryException - if an error occurs. |
refresh | public void refresh(boolean keepChanges) throws InvalidItemStateException, RepositoryException(Code) | | If keepChanges is false , this method discards all pending changes
currently recorded in this Session that apply to this Item or any of its descendants
(that is, the subtree rooted at this Item)and returns all items to reflect the current
saved state. Outside a transaction this state is simple the current state of persistent storage.
Within a transaction, this state will reflect persistent storage as modified by changes that have
been saved but not yet committed.
If keepChanges is true then pending change are not discarded but items that do not
have changes pending have their state refreshed to reflect the current saved state, thus revealing
changes made by other sessions.
An InvalidItemStateException is thrown if this Item object represents a
workspace item that has been removed (either by this session or another).
Parameters: keepChanges - a boolean throws: InvalidItemStateException - if thisItem object represents a workspace item that has beenremoved (either by this session or another). throws: RepositoryException - if another error occurs. |
remove | public void remove() throws VersionException, LockException, ConstraintViolationException, RepositoryException(Code) | | Removes this item (and its subtree).
To persist a removal, a save must be
performed that includes the (former) parent of the
removed item within its scope.
If a node with same-name siblings is removed, this decrements by one the
indices of all the siblings with indices greater than that of the removed
node. In other words, a removal compacts the array of same-name siblings
and causes the minimal re-numbering required to maintain the original
order but leave no gaps in the numbering.
A ReferentialIntegrityException will be thrown on save
if this item or an item in its subtree is currently the target of a REFERENCE
property located in this workspace but outside this item's subtree and the current Session
has read access to that REFERENCE property.
An AccessDeniedException will be thrown on save
if this item or an item in its subtree is currently the target of a REFERENCE
property located in this workspace but outside this item's subtree and the current Session
does not have read access to that REFERENCE property.
A ConstraintViolationException will be thrown either immediately
or on save , if removing this item would violate a node type or implementation-specific
constraint. Implementations may differ on when this validation is performed.
A VersionException will be thrown either immediately
or on save , if the parent node of this item is versionable and checked-in
or is non-versionable but its nearest versionable ancestor is checked-in. Implementations
may differ on when this validation is performed.
A LockException will be thrown either immediately or on save
if a lock prevents the removal of this item. Implementations may differ on when this validation is performed.
throws: VersionException - if the parent node of this item is versionable and checked-inor is non-versionable but its nearest versionable ancestor is checked-in and thisimplementation performs this validation immediately instead of waiting until save . throws: LockException - if a lock prevents the removal of this item and thisimplementation performs this validation immediately instead of waiting until save . throws: ConstraintViolationException - if removing the specified item would violate a node type orimplementation-specific constraint and this implementation performs this validation immediatelyinstead of waiting until save . throws: RepositoryException - if another error occurs. |
save | public void save() throws AccessDeniedException, ItemExistsException, ConstraintViolationException, InvalidItemStateException, ReferentialIntegrityException, VersionException, LockException, NoSuchNodeTypeException, RepositoryException(Code) | | Validates all pending changes currently recorded in this Session that apply to this Item
or any of its descendants (that is, the subtree rooted at this Item). If validation of all
pending changes succeeds, then this change information is cleared from the Session .
If the save occurs outside a transaction, the changes are persisted and thus
made visible to other Sessions . If the save occurs within a transaction,
the changes are not persisted until the transaction is committed.
If validation fails, then no pending changes are saved and they remain recorded on the Session .
There is no best-effort or partial save.
The item in persistent storage to which a transient item is saved is
determined by matching identifiers and paths.
An AccessDeniedException will be thrown if any of the changes
to be persisted would violate the access privileges of this
Session .
If any of the changes to be persisted would cause the removal of a node
that is currently the target of a REFERENCE property then a
ReferentialIntegrityException is thrown, provided that this Session has
read access to that REFERENCE property. If, on the other hand, this
Session does not have read access to the REFERENCE property in question,
then an AccessDeniedException is thrown instead.
An ItemExistsException will be thrown if any of the changes
to be persisted would be prevented by the presence of an already existing
item in the workspace.
A ConstraintViolationException will be thrown if any of the
changes to be persisted would violate a node type restriction.
Additionally, a repository may use this exception to enforce
implementation- or configuration-dependant restrictions.
An InvalidItemStateException is thrown if any of the
changes to be persisted conflicts with a change already persisted
through another session and the implementation is such that this
conflict can only be detected at save -time and therefore was not
detected earlier, at change-time.
A VersionException is thrown if the save would make a result in
a change to persistent storage that would violate the read-only status of a
checked-in node.
A LockException is thrown if the save would result
in a change to persistent storage that would violate a lock.
A NoSuchNodeTypeException is thrown if the save would result in the
addition of a node with an unrecognized node type.
A RepositoryException will be thrown if another error
occurs.
throws: AccessDeniedException - if any of the changes to be persisted would violatethe access privileges of the this Session . Also thrown if any of thechanges to be persisted would cause the removal of a node that is currentlyreferenced by a REFERENCE property that this Sessiondoes not have read access to. throws: ItemExistsException - if any of the changesto be persisted would be prevented by the presence of an already existingitem in the workspace. throws: ConstraintViolationException - if any of the changes to be persisted wouldviolate a node type or restriction. Additionally, a repository may use thisexception to enforce implementation- or configuration-dependent restrictions. throws: InvalidItemStateException - if any of thechanges to be persisted conflicts with a change already persistedthrough another session and the implementation is such that thisconflict can only be detected at save -time and therefore was notdetected earlier, at change-time. throws: ReferentialIntegrityException - if any of thechanges to be persisted would cause the removal of a node that is currentlyreferenced by a REFERENCE property that this Session has read access to. throws: VersionException - if the save would make a result ina change to persistent storage that would violate the read-only status of achecked-in node. throws: LockException - if the save would result in achange to persistent storage that would violate a lock. throws: NoSuchNodeTypeException - if the save would result in theaddition of a node with an unrecognized node type. throws: RepositoryException - if another error occurs. |
