Interface PropertyAccessor

All Known Implementing Classes:

ConstantValueAccessor, CustomCatalogPropertyAccessor, LanguageNameAccessor, ProjectPropertyAccessor, atg.repository.search.indexing.PropertyAccessorImpl

public interface PropertyAccessor

Interface to accessing the properties of a repository items.

Note that a single PropertyAccessor instance can be accessed from multiple threads at the same time, so each PropertyAccessor implementation should be stateless. Any needed state can be stored an attribute (or as multiple attribues) on the Context object.

The typical call order is:

• prepareNextIteration()
  • prepareNextVariant() - after each variant
    • getTextPropertyValue() or getMetaPropertyValue() (per property)
    • getTextSecurityConstraint() or getMetaSecurityConstraint() (per property value)

Method Detail

getTextPropertyValue

java.lang.Object getTextPropertyValue(Context pContext,
                                    RepositoryItem pItem,
                                    java.lang.String pPropertyName)

Get the text property value. Text property values correspond to properties contained in "text-property" elements in the XML definition file and result in "div" elements in the output XHTML document.

Treat properties that begin with "$" as regular, java-bean properties, and not dynamic bean-ish repository property values.

Parameters:

pContext - The current context. Contains the current URL, the stack of parent items, etc.

pItem - The repository item whose property to get

pPropertyName - The name of the property to get

getMetaPropertyValue

java.lang.Object getMetaPropertyValue(Context pContext,
                                    RepositoryItem pItem,
                                    java.lang.String pPropertyName,
                                    atg.repository.search.indexing.specifier.PropertyTypeEnum pType)

Get the meta property value. Property values correspond to properties contained in the meta-property" elements in the XML definition file and result in "meta" elements in the output document.

Treat properties that begin with "$" as regular, java-bean properties, and not dynamic bean-ish repository property values.

Parameters:

pContext - The current context. Contains the current URL, the stack of parent items, etc.

pItem - The repository item whose property to get

pPropertyName - The name of the property to get

pType - the type of the property. See the PROP_TYPE_ constants in OutputItemSpecifier.

getSubItemPropertyValue

java.lang.Object getSubItemPropertyValue(Context pContext,
                                       RepositoryItem pItem,
                                       java.lang.String pPropertyName)

Return the value for a sub-item property. May return a single repository item, an array, a collection, or Map of sub-items.

Parameters:

pContext - The current context. Contains the current URL, the stack of parent items, etc.

pItem - The repository item whose property to get

pPropertyName - The name of the property to get

getMetaSecurityConstraint

atg.repository.search.indexing.specifier.SecurityConstraints getMetaSecurityConstraint(Context pContext,
                                                                                     RepositoryItem pItem,
