Method Detail

getSession

Session getSession()

Specified by:

getSession in interface RepositoryItem

Returns:

The session this node belongs to.

exists

boolean exists()
               throws RepositoryException

Specified by:

exists in interface ContentHolder

Returns:

if the node exists.

Throws:

RepositoryException - if an error occurs.

isCollection

boolean isCollection()
                     throws RepositoryException

Returns:

if the node is a collection.

Throws:

RepositoryException - if an error occurs.

getChildren

java.util.Collection getChildren()
                                 throws RepositoryException

Returns:

children

Throws:

RepositoryException - if an error occurs.

getOutputStream

java.io.OutputStream getOutputStream()
                                     throws RepositoryException

Returns:

The output stream.

Throws:

RepositoryException - if the node does not exist.

lock

void lock()
          throws RepositoryException

Locks the node.

Throws:

RepositoryException - if an error occurs.

unlock

void unlock()
            throws RepositoryException

Unlocks the node.

Throws:

RepositoryException - if an error occurs.

checkout

void checkout()
              throws RepositoryException

Checks out the node with restriction to the current session..

Throws:

RepositoryException - if an error occurs.

checkout

void checkout(boolean restrictedToSession)
              throws RepositoryException

Checks out the node with the possibility to allow other sessions to check it in. This is a workaround for the current WYSIWYG editor infrastructure, which can't use the same session for opening and saving a node.

Parameters:

restrictedToSession - if the check-out is restricted to the current session.

Throws:

RepositoryException - if an error occurs.

checkin

void checkin()
             throws RepositoryException

Checks in the node.

Throws:

RepositoryException - if the node is not checked out or is checked out by a different session.

forceCheckIn

void forceCheckIn()
                  throws RepositoryException

Checks in the node even if it is checked out by a different session.

Throws:

RepositoryException - if the node is not checked out.

registerDirty

void registerDirty()
                   throws RepositoryException

Registers the node as dirty.

Throws:

RepositoryException - if an error occurs.

isCheckedOut

boolean isCheckedOut()
                     throws RepositoryException

Returns:

if the node is checked out.

Throws:

RepositoryException - if an error occurs.

getCheckoutUserId

boolean isCheckedOutBySession(Session session)
                              throws RepositoryException

Checks if the node is checked out by a certain session. We pass the session as a parameter to allow the check for nodes from the shared item store.

Parameters:

session - The session.

Returns:

if the node is checked out by a specific session.

Throws:

RepositoryException - if an error occurs.

copyRevisionsFrom

void copyRevisionsFrom(Node source)
