Interface NodeTypeStorage

All Known Implementing Classes:

NodeTypeStorageImpl

public interface NodeTypeStorage

NodeTypeStorage provides means for storing QNodeTypeDefinitions.

Method Summary

Iterator<QNodeTypeDefinition>	getAllDefinitions() Returns an Iterator over all node type definitions registered.
Iterator<QNodeTypeDefinition>	getDefinitions(Name[] nodeTypeNames) Returns the QNodeTypeDefinitions for the given node type names.
void	registerNodeTypes(QNodeTypeDefinition[] nodeTypeDefs, boolean allowUpdate) Add all QNodeTypeDefinitions provided to the store.
void	unregisterNodeTypes(Name[] nodeTypeNames) Remove all QNodeTypeDefinitions provided from the store.

Method Detail

getAllDefinitions

Iterator<QNodeTypeDefinition> getAllDefinitions()
                                                throws RepositoryException

Returns an Iterator over all node type definitions registered.

Returns:

Throws:

RepositoryException

getDefinitions

Iterator<QNodeTypeDefinition> getDefinitions(Name[] nodeTypeNames)
                                             throws NoSuchNodeTypeException,
                                                    RepositoryException

Returns the QNodeTypeDefinitions for the given node type names. The implementation is free to return additional definitions e.g. dependencies.

Parameters:

nodeTypeNames -

Returns:

Throws:

NoSuchNodeTypeException

RepositoryException

registerNodeTypes

void registerNodeTypes(QNodeTypeDefinition[] nodeTypeDefs,
                       boolean allowUpdate)
                       throws RepositoryException,
                              NodeTypeExistsException

Add all QNodeTypeDefinitions provided to the store. If allowUpdate is true previously registered node QNodeTypeDefinitions will be overwritten.

Parameters:

nodeTypeDefs - QNodeTypeDefinitions to add to the store

allowUpdate - Whether to overwrite existing QNodeTypeDefinitions

Throws:

RepositoryException

NodeTypeExistsException - If allowUpdate is true and a QNodeTypeDefinitions of that name already exists. In this case, none of the provided QNodeTypeDefinitions is registered.

unregisterNodeTypes

void unregisterNodeTypes(Name[] nodeTypeNames)
                         throws NoSuchNodeTypeException,
                                RepositoryException

Remove all QNodeTypeDefinitions provided from the store.

Parameters:

nodeTypeNames - QNodeTypeDefinitions to remove from the store

Throws:

RepositoryException

NoSuchNodeTypeException - If any of the QNodeTypeDefinitions does not exist. In this case none of the provided is unregistered.
