Method Detail

getContent

public java.util.Enumeration getContent(Search params,
                                        boolean readOnly)
                                 throws java.rmi.RemoteException

Get an Enumeration of Content object that match the seach parameters.

Depending upon the implemenation, this may simply delagate to a ContentHome.

In general, setting readOnly to true will help with performance when read-only access is required. However, the implementation may choose to ignore this flag. Therefore, when setting readOnly to true, do not attempt to call EJB methods (getHandle(), remove()) on the resulting Content object.

Parameters:

params - the search paramters.

readOnly - true to return read-only version of the Content objects, false to return the live EJBs.

Throws:

java.rmi.RemoteException - thrown on an error.

getContent

public java.util.Enumeration getContent(Search params)
                                 throws java.rmi.RemoteException

Get an Enumeration of Content objects that match the seach parameters.

This will use the implementations default readOnly flag, so assume it will be true.

Depending upon the implemenation, this may simply delagate to a ContentHome.

Throws:

java.rmi.RemoteException - thrown on an error.
