Class ItemSequence

java.lang.Object

org.apache.jackrabbit.commons.flat.ItemSequence

Direct Known Subclasses:

ItemSequence.NodeSequenceImpl, ItemSequence.PropertySequenceImpl

public abstract class ItemSequence
extends Object

This class serves as main entry point for obtaining sequences of Node s and Propertys. It provides factory methods for creating NodeSequences and PropertySequences.

NodeSequence and PropertySequence instances provide a flat representation of a JCR hierarchy rooted at a certain node. They allow iterating over all items, retrieving items by key, checking whether a given key is mapped, adding new items and removing existing items.

The specifics of the mapping from the flat representation to the JCR hierarchy are delegated to a TreeManager. Particularly the TreeManager specifies the order of the items when retrieved as sequence and when and how to add and remove intermediate nodes when new items are inserted or removed.

An TreeTraverser.ErrorHandler is used to handle exceptions which occur while traversing the hierarchy.

Method Detail

createNodeSequence

public static NodeSequence createNodeSequence(TreeManager treeManager,
                              TreeTraverser.ErrorHandler errorHandler)

Create a new NodeSequence instance.

Parameters:

treeManager - The TreeManager for managing the mapping between the sequence view and the JCR hierarchy.

errorHandler - The TreeTraverser.ErrorHandler for handling exceptions occurring while

Returns:

createNodeSequence

public static NodeSequence createNodeSequence(TreeManager treeManager)

Create a new NodeSequence instance.

Parameters:

treeManager - The TreeManager for managing the mapping between the sequence view and the JCR hierarchy.

Returns:

createPropertySequence

public static PropertySequence createPropertySequence(TreeManager treeManager,
                                      TreeTraverser.ErrorHandler errorHandler)

Create a new PropertySequence instance.

Parameters:

treeManager - The TreeManager for managing the mapping between the sequence view and the JCR hierarchy.

errorHandler - The TreeTraverser.ErrorHandler for handling exceptions occurring while

Returns:

createPropertySequence

public static PropertySequence createPropertySequence(TreeManager treeManager)

Create a new PropertySequence instance.

Parameters:

treeManager - The TreeManager for managing the mapping between the sequence view and the JCR hierarchy.

Returns:

getNodeSequence

public NodeSequence getNodeSequence()

Create a new NodeSequence instance with the same parameterization as this instance.

Returns:

getPropertySequence

public PropertySequence getPropertySequence()

Create a new PropertySequence instance with the same parametrization as this instance.

Returns:

getParent

protected abstract javax.jcr.Node getParent(String key)
                                     throws javax.jcr.RepositoryException

Returns the parent node for the given key. When the key is not present in this sequence already, the returned node is the node that would contain that key if it where present.

Throws:

javax.jcr.RepositoryException

getPredecessor

protected final javax.jcr.Node getPredecessor(String key)
                                       throws javax.jcr.RepositoryException

Returns the predecessor node for the given key. That is the node whose key directly precedes the passed key in the order determined by TreeManager.getOrder(). There are two cases:

• A node with the given key is mapped: then that node is returned.
• A node with the given key is not mapped: the the node where that would contain that key if present is returned.

Throws:

javax.jcr.RepositoryException

getPredecessor

protected final javax.jcr.Node getPredecessor(javax.jcr.Node node,
                            String key)
                                       throws javax.jcr.RepositoryException

Returns the direct predecessor of key amongst node's child nodes wrt. to TreeManager.getOrder(). Returns null if either node has no child nodes or node is a leaf (see TreeManager.isLeaf(Node)) or key is smaller than all the keys of all child nodes of node.

Throws:

javax.jcr.RepositoryException

getSuccessor

protected final javax.jcr.Node getSuccessor(javax.jcr.Node node,
                          String key)
                                     throws javax.jcr.RepositoryException

Returns the successor node for the given key. That is the node whose key directly succeeds the passed key in the order determined by TreeManager.getOrder(). There are two cases:

• A node with the given key is mapped: then that node is returned.
• A node with the given key is not mapped: the the node where that would contain that key if present is returned.

Throws:

javax.jcr.RepositoryException

getMinimal

protected final javax.jcr.Node getMinimal()
                                   throws javax.jcr.RepositoryException

Returns the node with the minimal key wrt. TreeManager.getOrder(). For the empty sequence this is TreeManager.getRoot().

Throws:

javax.jcr.RepositoryException

getMinimal

protected final javax.jcr.Node getMinimal(javax.jcr.Node node)
                                   throws javax.jcr.RepositoryException

Returns the node amongst the child nodes of node whose key is minimal wrt. TreeManager.getOrder(). Returns null id either node has no child nodes or node is a leaf (see TreeManager.isLeaf(Node)).

Throws:

javax.jcr.RepositoryException

renamePath

protected final void renamePath(javax.jcr.Node node,
              String key)
                         throws javax.jcr.RepositoryException

Rename the path of the node with the minimal key. That is, assuming node is the node with the minimal key (see getMinimal()), this method renames every segment of the path of node up to TreeManager.getRoot() to key . Note: If node is not the node with the minimal key, the behavior of this method is not specified.

Throws:

javax.jcr.RepositoryException
