Interface JackrabbitNodeTypeManager

All Superinterfaces:

NodeTypeManager

All Known Implementing Classes:

ClientJackrabbitNodeTypeManager, NodeTypeManagerImpl

public interface JackrabbitNodeTypeManager
extends NodeTypeManager

The Jackrabbit node type manager interface. This interface contains the Jackrabbit-specific extensions to the JCR NodeTypeManager interface.

Currently Jackrabbit provides a mechanism to register new node types, but it is not possible to modify or remove existing node types.

Field Summary

static String	TEXT_X_JCR_CND The experimental content type for the compact node type definition files.
static String	TEXT_XML The standard XML content type to be used with XML-formatted node type streams.

Method Summary

boolean	hasNodeType(String name) Checks if a node type with the given name is registered.
NodeType[]	registerNodeTypes(InputSource in) Registers node types from the given node type XML stream.
NodeType[]	registerNodeTypes(InputStream in, String contentType) Registers node types from the given input stream of the given type.

Method Detail

registerNodeTypes

NodeType[] registerNodeTypes(InputSource in)
                             throws SAXException,
                                    RepositoryException

Registers node types from the given node type XML stream.

Parameters:

in - node type XML stream

Returns:

registered node types

Throws:

SAXException - if the XML stream could not be read or parsed

RepositoryException - if the node types are invalid or another repository error occurs

registerNodeTypes

NodeType[] registerNodeTypes(InputStream in,
                             String contentType)
                             throws IOException,
                                    RepositoryException

Registers node types from the given input stream of the given type.

Parameters:

in - node type stream

contentType - type of the input stream

Returns:

registered node types

Throws:

IOException - if the input stream could not be read or parsed

RepositoryException - if the node types are invalid or another repository error occurs

hasNodeType

boolean hasNodeType(String name)
                    throws RepositoryException

Checks if a node type with the given name is registered.

Parameters:

name - node type name

Returns:

true if the named node type is registered false otherwise

Throws:

RepositoryException - if an error occurs
