NodeTypeManager

public interface NodeTypeManager
extends NodeTypeManager

An extension of JCR 2.0's NodeTypeManager interface, with methods to support registering node type definitions from CND and Jackrabbit XML files.

Method Summary

NodeTypeIterator	registerNodeTypes(File file, boolean allowUpdate) Registers or updates the node type definitions per the Compact Node Definition (CND) file given by the supplied file.
NodeTypeIterator	registerNodeTypes(InputStream stream, boolean allowUpdate) Registers or updates the node type definitions per the Compact Node Definition (CND) file given by the supplied stream.
NodeTypeIterator	registerNodeTypes(URL url, boolean allowUpdate) Registers or updates the node type definitions per the Compact Node Definition (CND) file given by the supplied URL.

Method Detail

registerNodeTypes

NodeTypeIterator registerNodeTypes(InputStream stream,
                                   boolean allowUpdate)
                                   throws IOException,
                                          InvalidNodeTypeDefinitionException,
                                          NodeTypeExistsException,
                                          UnsupportedRepositoryOperationException,
                                          RepositoryException

Registers or updates the node type definitions per the Compact Node Definition (CND) file given by the supplied stream. This method is used to register or update a set of node types with mutual dependencies. Returns an iterator over the resulting NodeType objects.

The effect of the method is "all or nothing"; if an error occurs, no node types are registered or updated.

Parameters:

stream - the stream containing the node type definitions in CND format

allowUpdate - a boolean stating whether existing node type definitions should be modified/updated

Returns:

the registered node types.

Throws:

IOException - if there is a problem reading from the supplied stream

InvalidNodeTypeDefinitionException - if a NodeTypeDefinition within the Collection is invalid or if the Collection contains an object of a type other than NodeTypeDefinition.

NodeTypeExistsException - if allowUpdate is false and a NodeTypeDefinition within the Collection specifies a node type name that is already registered.

UnsupportedRepositoryOperationException - if this implementation does not support node type registration.

RepositoryException - if another error occurs.

registerNodeTypes

NodeTypeIterator registerNodeTypes(File file,
                                   boolean allowUpdate)
                                   throws IOException,
                                          InvalidNodeTypeDefinitionException,
                                          NodeTypeExistsException,
                                          UnsupportedRepositoryOperationException,
                                          RepositoryException

Registers or updates the node type definitions per the Compact Node Definition (CND) file given by the supplied file. This method is used to register or update a set of node types with mutual dependencies. Returns an iterator over the resulting NodeType objects.

The effect of the method is "all or nothing"; if an error occurs, no node types are registered or updated.

Parameters:

file - the file containing the node types

allowUpdate - a boolean stating whether existing node type definitions should be modified/updated

Returns:

the registered node types.

Throws:

IOException - if there is a problem reading from the supplied stream

InvalidNodeTypeDefinitionException - if a NodeTypeDefinition within the Collection is invalid or if the Collection contains an object of a type other than NodeTypeDefinition.

NodeTypeExistsException - if allowUpdate is false and a NodeTypeDefinition within the Collection specifies a node type name that is already registered.

UnsupportedRepositoryOperationException - if this implementation does not support node type registration.

RepositoryException - if another error occurs.

registerNodeTypes

NodeTypeIterator registerNodeTypes(URL url,
                                   boolean allowUpdate)
                                   throws IOException,
                                          InvalidNodeTypeDefinitionException,
                                          NodeTypeExistsException,
                                          UnsupportedRepositoryOperationException,
                                          RepositoryException

Registers or updates the node type definitions per the Compact Node Definition (CND) file given by the supplied URL. This method is used to register or update a set of node types with mutual dependencies. Returns an iterator over the resulting NodeType objects.

The effect of the method is "all or nothing"; if an error occurs, no node types are registered or updated.

Parameters:

url - the URL that can be resolved to the file containing the node type definitions in CND format

allowUpdate - a boolean stating whether existing node type definitions should be modified/updated

Returns:

the registered node types.

Throws:

IOException - if there is a problem reading from the supplied stream

InvalidNodeTypeDefinitionException - if a NodeTypeDefinition within the Collection is invalid or if the Collection contains an object of a type other than NodeTypeDefinition.

NodeTypeExistsException - if allowUpdate is false and a NodeTypeDefinition within the Collection specifies a node type name that is already registered.

UnsupportedRepositoryOperationException - if this implementation does not support node type registration.

RepositoryException - if another error occurs.
