Constructor Summary

protected	PropertyState(PropertyEntry entry, ItemStateFactory isf, QPropertyDefinition definition, ItemDefinitionProvider definitionProvider, QValue[] values, int propertyType) Create a NEW PropertyState
protected	PropertyState(PropertyEntry entry, PropertyInfo pInfo, ItemStateFactory isf, ItemDefinitionProvider definitionProvider) Create an EXISTING PropertyState

Method Summary

QPropertyDefinition	getDefinition() Returns the definition defined for this property state.
ItemId	getId() Utility method: Returns the identifier of this item state.
int	getType() Returns the type of the property value(s).
QValue	getValue() Convenience method for single valued property states.
QValue[]	getValues() Returns the value(s) of this property.
ItemId	getWorkspaceId() Utility method: Returns the identifier of this item state.
boolean	isMultiValued() Returns true if this property is multi-valued, otherwise false.
boolean	isNode() Always returns false.
ItemState.MergeResult	merge(ItemState another, boolean keepChanges) If keepChanges is true, this method only compares the existing values with the values from 'another' and returns true, if the underlying persistent state is different to the stored persistent values.
boolean	revert() Revert all transient modifications made to this ItemState.

Method Detail

isNode

public boolean isNode()

Always returns false.

Specified by:

isNode in class ItemState

Returns:

always false

getId

public ItemId getId()
             throws RepositoryException

Utility method: Returns the identifier of this item state. Shortcut for calling 'getId' on the hierarchy entry.

Specified by:

getId in class ItemState

Returns:

the identifier of this item state..

Throws:

RepositoryException

See Also:

ItemState.getId()

getWorkspaceId

public ItemId getWorkspaceId()
                      throws RepositoryException

Utility method: Returns the identifier of this item state. Shortcut for calling 'getWorkspaceId' on the NodeEntry or PropertyEntry respectively.

Specified by:

getWorkspaceId in class ItemState

Returns:

the identifier of this item state..

Throws:

RepositoryException

See Also:

ItemState.getWorkspaceId()

merge

public ItemState.MergeResult merge(ItemState another,
                                   boolean keepChanges)

If keepChanges is true, this method only compares the existing values with the values from 'another' and returns true, if the underlying persistent state is different to the stored persistent values. Otherwise the transient changes will be discarded.

Specified by:

merge in class ItemState

Returns:

a MergeResult instance which represent the result of the merge operation
