Constructor Detail

ReferenceValue

protected ReferenceValue(String value)
                  throws ValueFormatException

Deprecated.

Creates an instance for the given reference value.

Throws:

ValueFormatException

Method Detail

getType

public int getType()

Deprecated.

Returns PropertyType.REFERENCE.

getString

public String getString()
                 throws ValueFormatException,
                        RepositoryException

Deprecated.

Returns the string representation of the reference value.

Throws:

ValueFormatException

RepositoryException

getStream

public final InputStream getStream()
                            throws RepositoryException

Deprecated.

Returns the stream representation of this value. This method implements the deprecated JCR 1.0 behaviour of always returning the same stream instance. The stream is retrieved from a Binary instance returned by Value.getBinary().

Specified by:

getStream in interface Value

Returns:

stream representation of this value

Throws:

RepositoryException - if the stream can not be created

getBinary

public Binary getBinary()
                 throws RepositoryException

Deprecated.

Returns the binary representation of this value. The default implementation uses the UTF-8 serialization of the string returned by Value.getString(). Subclasses

Specified by:

getBinary in interface Value

Throws:

RepositoryException

getBoolean

public boolean getBoolean()
                   throws ValueFormatException

Deprecated.

Always throws a ValueFormatException. Implementations should overwrite if conversion to boolean is supported.

Specified by:

getBoolean in interface Value

Returns:

nothing

Throws:

ValueFormatException - If the value cannot be converted to a boolean.

getDate

public Calendar getDate()
                 throws ValueFormatException

Deprecated.

Always throws a ValueFormatException. Implementations should overwrite if conversion to Calender is supported.

Specified by:

getDate in interface Value

Returns:

nothing

Throws:

ValueFormatException - If the value cannot be converted to a Calendar instance.

getDecimal

public BigDecimal getDecimal()
                      throws RepositoryException

Deprecated.

Always throws a ValueFormatException. Implementations should overwrite if conversion to a BigDecimal is supported.

Specified by:

getDecimal in interface Value

Returns:

nothing

Throws:

ValueFormatException - If the value cannot be converted to a BigDecimal.

RepositoryException

getDouble

public double getDouble()
                 throws ValueFormatException

Deprecated.

Always throws a ValueFormatException. Implementations should overwrite if conversion to double is supported.

Specified by:

getDouble in interface Value

Returns:

nothing

Throws:

ValueFormatException - If the value cannot be converted to a double.

getLong

public long getLong()
             throws ValueFormatException

Deprecated.

Always throws a ValueFormatException. Implementations should overwrite if conversion to long is supported.

Specified by:

getLong in interface Value

Returns:

nothing

Throws:

ValueFormatException - If the value cannot be converted to a long.

getValueFormatException

protected ValueFormatException getValueFormatException(String destType)

Deprecated.

Returns a ValueFormatException with a message indicating what kind of type conversion is not supported.

Parameters:

destType - The name of the value type to which this value cannot be converted.

Returns:

nothing

equals

public boolean equals(Object object)

Deprecated.

Compares values as defined in the JCR specification.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

object - value for comparison

Returns:

true if the values are equal, false otherwise

JCRRMI-16

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Deprecated.

Returns a hash code that's in line with how the Object.equals(Object) method is implemented.

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

Returns:

hash code of this value

toString

public String toString()

Deprecated.

Returns a string representation of this value.

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

value string
