      • getRepository

        public static Repository getRepository​(String uri)
                                        throws RepositoryException
        Returns the repository identified by the given URI. This feature is implemented by calling the getRepository(Map) method with the REPOSITORY_URI parameter set to the given URI. Any query parameters are moved from the URI to the parameter map.

        See the documentation of the repository implementation you want to use for whether it supports this repository URI convention and for what the repository URI should look like. For example, Jackrabbit 2.0 supports the following types of repository URIs:

        http(s)://...
        A remote repository connection using SPI2DAVex with the given URL. See the jackrabbit-jcr2dav component for more details.
        file://...
        An embedded Jackrabbit repository located in the given directory. See the jackrabbit-core component for more details.
        jndi:...
        JNDI lookup for the named repository. See the JndiRepositoryFactory class for more details.
        Parameters:
        uri - repository URI
        Returns:
        repository instance
        Throws:
        RepositoryException - if the repository can not be accessed, or if the given URI is unknown or invalid

        name - name of the child node
        Returns:
        the child node
        Throws:

      • getOrAddFolder

        public static Node getOrAddFolder​(Node parent,
                                          String name)
                                   throws RepositoryException
        Returns the named child of the given node, creating it as an nt:folder node if it does not already exist. The caller is expected to take care of saving or discarding any transient changes.

        Note that the type of the returned node is not guaranteed to match nt:folder in case the node already existed. The caller can use an explicit Node.isNodeType(String) check if needed, or simply use a data-first approach and not worry about the node type until a constraint violation is encountered.

        Parameters:
        parent - parent node
        name - name of the child node
        Returns:
        the child node

                            throws RepositoryException
        Creates or updates the named child of the given node. If the child does not already exist, then it is created using the nt:file node type. This file child node is returned from this method.

        If the file node does not already contain a jcr:content child, then one is created using the nt:resource node type. The following properties are set on the jcr:content node:

        jcr:mimeType
        media type
        jcr:encoding (optional)
        charset parameter of the media type, if any
        jcr:lastModified
        current time
        jcr:data
        binary content

        Note that the types of the returned node or the jcr:content child are not guaranteed to match nt:file and nt:resource in case the nodes already existed. The caller can use an explicit Node.isNodeType(String) check if needed, or simply use a data-first approach and not worry about the node type until a constraint violation is encountered.

        The given binary content stream is closed by this method.

        Parameters:
        parent - parent node

                                   InputStream data,
                                   Calendar date)
                            throws RepositoryException
        Creates or updates the named child of the given node. If the child does not already exist, then it is created using the nt:file node type. This file child node is returned from this method.

        If the file node does not already contain a jcr:content child, then one is created using the nt:resource node type. The following properties are set on the jcr:content node:

        jcr:mimeType
        media type
        jcr:encoding (optional)
        charset parameter of the media type, if any
        jcr:lastModified
        date of last modification
        jcr:data
        binary content

        Note that the types of the returned node or the jcr:content child are not guaranteed to match nt:file and nt:resource in case the nodes already existed.

        public static InputStream readFile​(Node node)
                                    throws RepositoryException
        Returns a stream for reading the contents of the file stored at the given node. This method works with both on nt:file and nt:resource and on any other similar node types, as it only looks for the jcr:data property or a jcr:content child node.

        The returned stream contains a reference to the underlying Binary value instance that will be disposed when the stream is closed. It is the responsibility of the caller to close the stream once it is no longer needed.

      • toString

        public static String toString​(Item item)
        Returns a string representation of the given item. The returned string is designed to be easily readable while providing maximum amount of information for logging and debugging purposes.

        The returned string is not meant to be parsed and the exact contents can change in future releases. The current string representation of a node is "/path/to/node [type]" and the representation of a property is "@name = value(s)". Binary values are expressed like "<123 bytes>" and other values as their standard binary representation. Multi-valued properties have their values listed in like "[ v1, v2, v3, ... ]". No more than the three first values are included. Long string values are truncated.

        Parameters:
        item - given node or property
        Returns:
        string representation of the given item

                                   throws IllegalArgumentException
        Returns the numeric constant value of the property type with the specified name. This method is like PropertyType.valueFromName(String), but the name lookup is case insensitive.
        Parameters:
        name - name of the property type (case insensitive)
        Returns:
        property type constant
        Throws:

                                            throws RepositoryException
        Creates a Node at the given Path. In case it has to create the Node all non-existent intermediate path-elements will be created with the given intermediate node type and the returned node will be created with the given nodeType.

        If the path points to an existing node, the leaf node name will be regarded as a name hint and a unique node name will be created by appending a number to the given name (eg. /some/path/foobar2). Please note that the uniqueness check is not an atomic JCR operation, so it is possible that you get a RepositoryException (path already exists) if another concurrent session created the same node in the meantime.

        Changes made are not saved by this method, so session.save() has to be called to persist them.

        Parameters:
        pathHint - path to create
        nodeType - to use for creation of nodes. . If null the node type is determined by the child node definitions of the parent node.
        session - to use

        the newly created Node
        Throws:
        RepositoryException - in case of exception accessing the Repository
      • getOrCreateByPath

        public static Node getOrCreateByPath​(String absolutePath,

                                             boolean autoSave)
                                      throws RepositoryException
        Creates or gets the Node at the given Path. In case it has to create the Node all non-existent intermediate path-elements will be created with the given intermediate node type and the returned node will be created with the given nodeType.

        If the parameter createUniqueLeaf is set, it will not get an existing node but rather try to create a unique node by appending a number to the last path element (leaf node). Please note that the uniqueness check is not an atomic JCR operation, so it is possible that you get a RepositoryException (path already exists) if another concurrent session created the same node in the meantime.

        Parameters:
        absolutePath - absolute path to create

      • getOrCreateUniqueByPath

        public static Node getOrCreateUniqueByPath​(Node parent,
                                                   String nodeNameHint,
                                                   String nodeType)
                                            throws RepositoryException
        Creates or gets the node at the given path. In case it has to create the node, nodes for all non-existent intermediate path-elements will be created with the given intermediate node type and the returned node will be created with the given nodeType. Note: When the given path contains parent elements this method might create multiple nodes at leaf position (e.g "a/../b" will create the child nodes "a" and "b" on the current node).

        If the node name points to an existing node, the node name will be regarded as a name hint and a unique node name will be created by appending a number to the given name (eg. /some/path/foobar2). Please note that the uniqueness check is not an atomic JCR operation, so it is possible that you get a RepositoryException (path already exists) if another concurrent session created the same node in the meantime.

        Changes made are not saved by this method, so session.save() has to be called to persist them.

        Parameters:
        parent - existing parent node for the new node
        nodeNameHint - name hint for the new node
        nodeType - to use for creation of the node. If null the node type is determined by the child node definitions of the parent node.
        Returns:
        the newly created Node
        Throws:
        RepositoryException - in case of exception accessing the Repository
      • getOrCreateByPath

        public static Node getOrCreateByPath​(Node baseNode,

                                      throws RepositoryException
        Creates or gets the node at the given path relative to the baseNode. In case it has to create the node, nodes for all non-existent intermediate path-elements will be created with the given intermediate node type and the returned node will be created with the given nodeType. Note: When the given path contains parent elements this method might create multiple nodes at leaf position (e.g "a/../b" will create the child nodes "a" and "b" on the current node).

        If the parameter createUniqueLeaf is set, it will not get an existing node but rather try to create a unique node by appending a number to the last path element (leaf node). Please note that the uniqueness check is not an atomic JCR operation, so it is possible that you get a RepositoryException (path already exists) if another concurrent session created the same node in the meantime.

        Parameters:
        baseNode - existing node that should be the base for the relative path
        path - relative path to create
        createUniqueLeaf - whether the leaf of the path should be regarded as a name hint and a unique node name should be created by appending a number to the given name (eg. /some/path/foobar2)
        intermediateNodeType - to use for creation of intermediate nodes. If null the node type is determined by the child node definitions of the parent node.
        nodeType - to use for creation of the final node. If null the node type is determined by the child node definitions of the parent node.
        autoSave - Should save be called when a new node is created?
        Returns:
        the Node at path
        Throws:
        RepositoryException - in case of exception accessing the Repository
