All Implemented Interfaces

Serializable, Cloneable

public class Node

extends ContentEntity

implements Cloneable

A Node represents a content element in a hierarchy of content elements. A node can be uniquely identified via its ID (preferable) or path.

WARNING: If using this interface to retrieve binary content from a WLP Repository, please read the javadoc for RepositoryConfig.

All nodes may contain system metadata, such as name, path, parentId, created date, etc. The presence of system metadata depends upon the underlying repository's implementation; for example, some repositories may have no concept of a created date or a last modified by user. System metadata can be retrieved directly from the node, via methods such as Node.getName(). These methods return NULL if the system metadata does not exist. System metadata is common to all nodes, regardless of their ObjectClass, and is set by the repository. All nodes must have a non-empty node name. Node names must not contain either forward or backslashes.

Nodes also may contain Properties (user metadata) based on the ObjectClass (type) defined for it. Nodes may optionally have a single associated ObjectClass. The ObjectClass contains a set of Property Definitions, which specify which Properties a Node of that ObjectClass may contain. For example, if Node n is of ObjectClass o, and o has a single-valued String PropertyDefinition stringVal, then Node n may have a Property named 'stringVal' with a single-valued string Value. <p/> The concept of a 'node type' is deprecated. Newly written client code should not use this concept when creating or retrieving nodes, and should consider other means for expressing this concept, such as using nodes of different ObjectClasses (or no ObjectClass), the folder concept, or by using a property definition. Node type was previously defined as follows: A Node can either be a Hierarchy or Content Node. A Hierarchy Node can contain both other Hierarchy and Content Nodes while a Content Node can only contain other Content Nodes. Both Content and Hierarchy Nodes may contain an ObjectClass and Properties. <p/> Nodes are uniquely identified in a repository by an opaque uid on their ID. The uid could be a uuid, database id, the path, etc. The Repository root node is an artificial node (cannot be retrieved), which has a uid of either null or the empty string. All node IDs used by VCR client code must have the repository name specified. <p/> All nodes have a path composed of non-empty node names that uniquely identifies it within the repository. The path varies according to who is using the node -- either VCR client code or Repository code. <p/> From a VCR client perspective, the path should be in unix-like format starting with the repositoryname, such as /WLP_Repository/a/b/c where WLP_Repository is the repository name, a is a root level node name, and b is the name of a child node of a. <p/> From a Repository implementation perspective, the path is identical, except it must not start with the repository name. Using the same example, the path in the repository would be /a/b/c. <p/> The following are some rules related to the node's path:

• It must always begin with / and shouldn't end with it (there is node validation code that will remove any trailing forward slash). So neither of the following are valid: a/b/c/d or /a/b/d/d/.
• Since each node must have a name (except the repository root), a node path must not contain multiple / characters in a row. So this would not be valid: /repoName/a//b, but this would be valid: /repoName/a/b.
• For VCR clients (the general use case), it must begin with '/RepositoryName'
• For Repository implementations, it must not begin with '/RepositoryName' -- this portion of the path is added by the VCR automatically.
• Each part of it must correspond to an existing node name in the repository. So for '/RepositoryName/Foo/Bar/Baz', Foo and Bar must exist; Bar must be the name of the parent of 'Baz', 'Foo' must be the name of the parent of 'Bar'

<p/> A Node's Properties may be lazy loaded, depending on the repository implementation and operation. <p/> Methods which return an ISortableFilterablePagedList from INodeManager can sort and filter the responses. For a discussion on paging, sorting and filtering, see com.bea.content.paging and ContentListKeys. Native sortable properties for the WLP Repository are found via the ISortablePagedList.getNativeSortableProperties() method on a paged list of Node objects. <p/> For Nodes in the WLP Repository, the current list of native sortable and filterable properties is:

• name
• createdDate
• createdBy
• path
• parentId
• modifiedDate
• modifiedBy
• type (content, hierarchy or node). (deprecated in 9.2).
• workflowId
• workflowStatus
• typeName

public void isRetired(boolean isRetired)

Sets the retired status for the node. For repository implementation use only. The default value is false. This is used for such things as Content Selectors. When searching for published nodes, all those set as Workflow.RETIRED will be ignored.

Parameters

getPrimaryProperty

public Property getPrimaryProperty()
                            throws RepositoryException

Gets the primary property for this Node, or null if there isn't one or when the node doesn't have an object class

Returns

The node's primary property.

Throws

RepositoryException - If the retrieval fails.

getProperty

public Property getProperty(String name)
                     throws AuthorizationException

Returns the property referenced by name or null if the property does not exist. If the Properties are not currently in memory, they will be retrieved. If you need to check if the Node instance in memory has its Propereties set, use isPropertiesNull().

Parameters

name - The name of the property to retrieve.

Returns

The property.

Throws

AuthorizationException - - if the user attempting the operation is not authorized.

For nested type properties, the name must reflect the nested hierarchy using NESTED_DELIMITER between each parent and child property name. The delimiter is not valid for use within the actual name, only to seperate the parent/child names.

If the Property returned is that of a nested type, it will return Property with a Value that is an array of Property objects.

If the Property returned is that of a multi valued nested type, it will return Property with an array of Value objects, of which each is an array of Property objects.

A nested Property can be retrieved directly by using the property name with delimiter (ie. myAddress.city). If a nested Property is multivalued, the index of that multivalued property will have to be reflected in the name, if you retrieve it directly (ie myAddresses[0].city will retrieve the first address's city in a multivalued nested property, or myAddresses[1].city will retrieve the second address's city. If the indexedName is not used to retrieve a property that is nested by a multivalued nested type, then only the first instance found, with that property name will be returned. The nesting tree will not be walked to find all properties of that name. See getProperties(name) for retrieving all Properties using a non-indexedName.

See Property.getIndexedName()

If the specified property does not exist in the node, it will return null.

getProperties

public Property[] getProperties(String name)
                         throws AuthorizationException

Returns the properties referenced by name or null if the property does not exist. If the Properties are not currently in memory, they will be retrieved. If you need to check if the Node instance in memory has its Propereties set, use isPropertiesNull().

Parameters

name - The name, indexedName or partially indexedName of the property to retrieve.

Returns

The properties, or null if the property does not exist.

Throws

AuthorizationException - - if the user attempting the operation is not authorized.

For nested type properties, the name must reflect the nested hierarchy using NESTED_DELIMITER between each parent and child property name. The delimiter is not valid for use within the actual name, only to seperate the parent/child names.

If the Property objects returned are that of nested types, each returned Property will have a Value that is an array of Property objects.

If the Property objects returned are that of multi valued nested types, each returned Property will have an array of Value objects, of which each is an array of Property objects.

Nested Property objects can be retrieved directly by using the property name with delimiter (ie. myAddress.city). If the nested Property is not multivalued, the returned Property array will only have a single value, just as if using the getProperty(name) method. If a nested Property is multivalued, the index of that multivalued property can be reflected fully or partially in the name. If it is retrieved directly, ie myAddresses[0].city, the first address's city of the multivalued nested property will be returned just as myAddresses[1].city will retrieve the second address's city. If the non indexedName is used, ie myAddresses.city, then all cities will be returned. If using a partially indexed name to retrieve multiple Property objects, it has to start by being specific to unspecific, ie myAddresses[0].myNeighborhoods.name would be valid, while myAddresses.myNeighborhoods[0].name would not be valid. If the beginning branches of the nesting tree are not specified via indexing, then the following branches cannot be specified.

See Property.getIndexedName()

If the specified property does not exist in the node, it will return null.

getProperties

public Property[] getProperties()
                         throws AuthorizationException

Gets the Properties for this node. Each property must have a corresponding PropertyDefinition defined in the Node's ObjectClass. If the Properties are not currently in memory, they will be retrieved. <p/> If you need to check if the Node instance in memory has its Properties set, use isPropertiesNull().

Returns

The properties of the node.

Throws

AuthorizationException - - if the user attempting the operation is not authorized.

getProperties

public Property[] getProperties(boolean returnPartiallyLoadedProperties)
                         throws AuthorizationException

Gets the Properties for this node. Each property must have a corresponding PropertyDefinition defined in the Node's ObjectClass. Returns partially loaded properties if requested. A node may be constructed with only some of the properties that the Node's ObjectClass defines. If requested, this method may be used to return those without attempting to load those which may not be present. <p/> If you need to check if the Node has partially loaded properties, use isPartiallyLoadedProperties() <p/> If you need to check if the Node instance in memory has its Properties set, use isPropertiesNull().

Parameters

returnPartiallyLoadedProperties - Returns the properties loaded in memory if true, otherwise loads the entire set and returns those.

Returns

The properties of the node.

Throws

AuthorizationException - - if the user attempting the operation is not authorized.

setProperties

public void setProperties(Property[] properties)

Sets all properties for this node as specified. The node must still be persisted. <p/> Each property must have a corresponding PropertyDefinition defined in the Node's ObjectClass. <p/> Properties which are defined in the Node's ObjectClass, but are not specified in the Property[] will be removed. <p/> All properties set will be persisted. For performance reasons, for setting just a single property, it is better to call setProperty( property ) for the single property which changed rather than calling this method. <p/> Further, if one of the properties on the Node is of type binary, its value will be null. Binary values are retrieved using the INodeManager.getStream(ContentContext, ID, String) method. So if this method is called with the retrieved Property with a null binary value, it will instruct the repository to overwrite the persisted binary value with a null value when the node is saved or otherwise updated. <p/> To avoid this problem, use the getProperties(java.lang.String) or getProperty(java.lang.String) method and call Property.setValue(Value) or Property.setValues(Value[]) which will just mark only the property being changed as dirty.

Parameters

properties - The properties to set.

setProperty

public void setProperty(Property property)

Sets a property for this node as specified. <p/> Each property must have a corresponding PropertyDefinition defined in the Node's ObjectClass. <p/> An existing property of the same name will be replaced. Otherwise a new property will be added. Nested properties must be fully constructed in a nesting tree. The property to be set must be a root level container property with all of its nested properties as values.

Parameters

property - The property to set.

isPropertiesNull

public boolean isPropertiesNull()

Returns true if the properties have not been set in memory.

Returns

True if the properties have not been set in memory.

getType

@Deprecated
public int getType()

Deprecated

The type of the Node. Either HIERARCHY or CONTENT.

Returns

The type of the node.

setType

@Deprecated
public void setType(int type)

Deprecated

Sets the Node type. Either HIERARCHY or CONTENT.

Parameters

type - The type of the node.

hasChildren

public boolean hasChildren()

True if this node has (or may have children). If the node has children they may be retrieved through the INodeManager methods. <p/> A repository may return true for hasChildren if it is expensive to determine if a Node has children.

Returns

True if this node has children.

hasChildren

public void hasChildren(boolean hasChildren)

Set true if the node has children, false if not. This does not indicate if it currently has them as part of the instance (in memory), or if they will be lazy loaded, but rather simply that they exist. <p/> A repository may set hasChildren to TRUE if it is expensive to determine if a Node has children.

For repository implementation use only. This method should be called by SPI implementors when returning a Node object to the VCR.

Parameters

hasChildren - True if this node has children.

getChildren

@Deprecated
public Node[] getChildren()
                   throws AuthorizationException

Deprecated This method does not perform security check before returning results, therefore it may not return correct results. Use INodeManager.getNodes(ContentContext,ID) instead.

Returns the children of this node. VCR Clients should call INodeManager.getNodes(ContentContext,ID) instead. This is a convenience method and does not keep the retrieved values in memory as part of this instance.

Returns

The children of the node.

Throws

AuthorizationException - - if the user attempting the operation is not authorized.

getContentChildren

@Deprecated
public Node[] getContentChildren()
                          throws AuthorizationException

Deprecated This method does not perform security check before returning results, therefore it may not return correct results. Use INodeManager.getNodes(ContentContext,ID) instead.

Returns the Content children of this node. This is a convenience method to NodeOps.getNodeChildren() and does not keep the retrieved values in memory as part of this instance.

Returns

The content node children.

Throws

AuthorizationException - - if the user attempting the operation is not authorized.

getHierarchyChildren

@Deprecated
public Node[] getHierarchyChildren()
                            throws AuthorizationException

Deprecated This method does not perform security check before returning results, therefore it may not return correct results. Use INodeManager.getNodes(ContentContext,ID) instead.

Returns the Hierarchy children of this node. This is a convenience method to NodeOps.getNodeChildren() and does not keep the retrieved values in memory as part of this instance.

Returns

The hierarchy node children.

Throws

AuthorizationException - - if the user attempting the operation is not authorized.

getWorkflowId

public ID getWorkflowId()

Return the workflow ID set on the node.

Returns

Returns the workflowId associated with the node. Will return null if no workflow is explicitly set on the node.

setWorkflowId

public void setWorkflowId(ID workflowId)

Sets the workflowId for the node.

Parameters

workflowId - Set the workflowId for the node.

getWorkflow

public Workflow getWorkflow()
                     throws RepositoryException

Return the workflow associated with the node. This method is slightly different than the getWorkflowId() because getWorkflowId() only returns the workflow explicitly set on the node, while this method does the workflow inheritance lookup to figure out the correct workflow for the node.

Returns

The workflow associated with the node, or the default workflow if there is no workflow associated with that node.

Throws

RepositoryException - if the retrieval of the workflow fails.
