Method Detail

validate

Server validate(Server server)

Determines whether the specified server is valid and can be used to establish a connection. This method returns a Server instance (that may be slightly different than the supplied Server instance, based upon the version of the server being used) and which should be used in all subsequent operations.

Parameters:

server - the server (never null)

Returns:

the validated server, which should be used in all subsequent operations (never null)

Throws:

Exception - if there is a problem validating the server

Since:

3.0

Deprecated.

Obtains the ModeShape node types defined within the specified workspace.

Parameters:

getUrl

URL getUrl(File file,

           Workspace workspace)
           throws Exception

Deprecated.

Returns a url string, representing a "server recognizable" url for a the given file. NOTE: This does not issue a request

file - the file whose URL is being requested (never null)

path - the path in the ModeShape workspace where the file is/could be located (never null)

workspace - the workspace where the file is/could be located (never null)

Returns:

the workspace URL for the specified file (never null)

Throws:

Exception - if there is a problem obtaining the URL or if the file is a directory

fileExists

boolean fileExists(File file,
                   Workspace workspace,
                   String path)
                   throws Exception

Deprecated.

Checks if the given file exists or not on the server, by issuing a GET request.

Parameters:

file - the file whose existence is checked, (never null)

workspace - the workspace where the file is/could be located (never null)

path - the path in the ModeShape workspace to the parent of the file (never null)

Returns:

true if the file exists on the server, or false otherwise.

Throws:

Exception - if there is a problem while performing the check

getWorkspaces

Collection<Workspace> getWorkspaces(Repository repository)

Returns:

the workspaces within the specified repository (never null)

Throws:

Exception - if there is a problem obtaining the workspaces

publish

Status publish(Workspace workspace,
               String path,
               File file)

Deprecated.

Publishes, or uploads, a local file to the workspace at the specified path. This method does not utilize any versioning, and is equivalent to calling "publish(workspace,path,file,false) ".

Parameters:

workspace - the workspace where the resource will be published (never null)

path - the unencoded path to the folder where the file will be published (never null)

file - the resource being published (never null)

Returns:

a status of the publishing operation outcome (never null)

publish

Status publish(Workspace workspace,
               String path,
               File file,
               boolean useVersioning)

Deprecated.

Publishes, or uploads, a local file to the workspace at the specified path. This method allows the client to specify whether the uploaded file should be versioned. If so, this method will add the "mix:versionable" mixin to the "nt:file" node, and subsequent attempts to re-publish will result in new versions in the version history of the file. If no versioning is to be done, then no version history is maintained for the file, and subsequent attemps to re-publish will simply overwrite any existing content.

Parameters:

workspace - the workspace where the resource will be published (never null)

path - the unencoded path to the folder where the file will be published (never null)

file - the resource being published (never null)

useVersioning - true if the uploaded file should be versioned, or false if no JCR versioning be used

Returns:

a status of the publishing operation outcome (never null)

                 String path,
                 File file)

Deprecated.

Unpublishes, or deletes, the resource at the specified path in the workspace. If a file being unpublished is not found in the workspace an info status is returned.

Parameters:

workspace - the workspace where the resource will be unpublished (never null)

path - the unencoded path to the folder where the file is published (never null)

file - the file being unpublished (never null)

Returns:

a status of the unpublishing operation outcome (never null)
