Method Detail

getLocalName

String getLocalName()
                    throws RepositoryException

Return the local part of the object's name.

Returns:

the local part of the name, or an empty string if this Item is the root node of the workspace.

Throws:

RepositoryException - if an error occurs.

getNamespaceURI

String getNamespaceURI()
                       throws RepositoryException

Returns the URI in which this object's name is scoped. For example, if this object's JCR name is "jcr:primaryType", the namespace prefix used in the name is "jcr", and so this method would return the "http://www.jcp.org/jcr/1.0" URI.

Returns:

the URI of the namespace, or an empty string if the name does not use a namespace

Throws:

RepositoryException - if an error occurs.
