QNodeTypeDefinition (Apache Jackrabbit 2.20.16 API)

All Known Implementing Classes:

QNodeTypeDefinitionImpl
```
public interface QNodeTypeDefinition
```
QNodeTypeDefinition is the SPI representation of a node type. It refers to Names only and is therefore independent of session-specific namespace mappings.

- Method Detail
  - getName
```
Name getName()
```
    Returns the name of the node type being defined or null if not set.
    
    Returns:
    
    the name of the node type or null if not set.
  - getSupertypes
```
Name[] getSupertypes()
```
    Returns an array containing the names of the supertypes. If no supertypes have been specified, then an empty array is returned for mixin types and the nt:base primary type and an array containing just nt:base for other primary types.
    The returned array must not be modified by the application.
    
    Returns:
    
    an array of supertype names
  - getSupportedMixinTypes
```
Name[] getSupportedMixinTypes()
```
    Returns an array containing the names of additional mixin types supported on this node type.
    The returned array must not be modified by the application.
    
    Returns:
    
    an array of mixin type names, or null when there are no known constraints.
  - isMixin
```
boolean isMixin()
```
    Returns the value of the mixin flag.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this is a mixin node type; false otherwise.
  - isAbstract
```
boolean isAbstract()
```
    Returns true if the definition is abstract; false otherwise.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the definition is abstract; false otherwise.
    
    Since:
    
    JCR 2.0
  - isQueryable
```
boolean isQueryable()
```
    Returns true if the definition is queryable; false otherwise.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the definition is queryable; false otherwise.
    
    Since:
    
    JCR 2.0
  - hasOrderableChildNodes
```
boolean hasOrderableChildNodes()
```
    Returns the value of the orderableChildNodes flag.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if nodes of this node type can have orderable child nodes; false otherwise.
  - getPrimaryItemName
```
Name getPrimaryItemName()
```
    Returns the name of the primary item (one of the child items of the node's of this node type) or null if not set.
    
    Returns:
    
    the name of the primary item or null if not set.
  - getPropertyDefs
```
QPropertyDefinition[] getPropertyDefs()
```
    Returns an array containing the property definitions.
    
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the property definitions.
  - getChildNodeDefs
```
QNodeDefinition[] getChildNodeDefs()
```
    Returns an array containing the child node definitions.
    
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the child node definitions.
  - getDependencies
```
Collection<Name> getDependencies()
```
    Returns a collection of node type Names that are being referenced by this node type definition (e.g. as supertypes, as required/default primary types in child node definitions, as REFERENCE value constraints in property definitions).
    Note that self-references (e.g. a child node definition that specifies the declaring node type as the default primary type) are not considered dependencies.
    
    Returns:
    
    a collection of node type Names
