Interface NamespaceResolver

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractNamespaceResolver, NamespaceMapping, SessionNamespaceResolver

Deprecated. Use the NamespaceResolver interface from the org.apache.jackrabbit.spi.commons.namespace package of the jackrabbit-spi-commons component.

public interface NamespaceResolver

Interface for resolving namespace URIs and prefixes. Unlike the JCR NamespaceRegistry interface, this interface contains no functionality other than the basic namespace URI and prefix resolution methods. This interface is therefore used internally in many places where the full namespace registry is either not available or some other mechanism is used for resolving namespaces.

Method Summary

String	getJCRName(QName qName) Deprecated. use NameFormat.format(QName, NamespaceResolver) instead.
String	getPrefix(String uri) Deprecated. Returns the prefix which is mapped to the given URI.
QName	getQName(String jcrName) Deprecated. use NameFormat.parse(String, NamespaceResolver) instead.
String	getURI(String prefix) Deprecated. Returns the URI to which the given prefix is mapped.

String getURI(String prefix)
              throws NamespaceException

getQName

QName getQName(String jcrName)
               throws IllegalNameException,
                      UnknownPrefixException

Deprecated. use NameFormat.parse(String, NamespaceResolver) instead.

Parses the given prefixed JCR name into a qualified name.

Parameters:
