Method Detail

restore

Asset restore(java.lang.String revisionId)
       throws java.lang.Exception

Restores an Asset.

Parameters:

revisionId - revision id

Returns:

the restored Asset

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - Upon encountering an error while restoring an asset.

getRevisions

java.util.Collection<Revision> getRevisions(java.lang.String path,
                                            java.util.Calendar cal)
                                     throws java.lang.Exception

Lists all available Revisions.

Parameters:

path - path of asset

cal - starting date to search revisions or null in order to fetch all

Returns:

all available Revisions

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - Upon encountering an error while getting the revisions for an asset.

createAssetForBinary

Asset createAssetForBinary(java.lang.String binaryPath,
                           boolean doSave)

This method creates the complete asset structure in /content/dam. The following structure is created: <xmp> + file.jpg (dam:Asset) + jcr:content )(dam:AssetContent) + renditions (sling:OrderedFolder) + metadata (nt:unstructured)

</xmp>

The given binaryPath is translated into the final asset location (see DamUtil.binaryToAssetPath(String)).

Parameters:

binaryPath - The path of the asset's binary in /var/dam.

doSave - Whether the repository changes are saved or not.

Returns:

The newly created asset or null if the binaryPath cannot be handled

getAssetForBinary

Asset getAssetForBinary(java.lang.String binaryPath)

Returns the Resource of the Asset corresponding to the binary given with the path parameter.

   DamUtil.getAssetNode("/var/dam/myfolder/test.jpg", session)    =  Resource("/content/dam/myfolder/test.jpg")
 

Parameters:

binaryPath - The path of the binary.

Returns:

The resource representing the binary's asset, or null if it couldn't be found.

removeAssetForBinary

boolean removeAssetForBinary(java.lang.String binaryPath)

Removes the javax.jcr.Node of the Asset corresponding to the binary given with the path parameter.

   DamUtil.removeAssetNode("/var/dam/myfolder/test.jpg", session) =i> Delete Node("/content/dam/myfolder/test.jpg")
 

Parameters:

binaryPath - The path of the binary.

Returns:

true if the asset was successfully removed.

createAsset

Asset createAsset(java.lang.String path,
                  java.io.InputStream is,
                  java.lang.String mimeType,
                  boolean doSave)

Creates a new Asset at the given path. If an asset already exists at the given path, its original rendition is updated instead of creating a new asset. If inputStream is null new Asset is created without original rendition. If an asset already exists at given path and inputstream is null, original rendition is not updated.

Parameters:

path - The path of the asset to be created.

is - The input stream of the new asset's original binary.

mimeType - The mime type of the new asset's original binary.

doSave - Whether the repository changes are saved or not.

Returns:

The newly created asset or null if something exists at the given path already or there was an unexpected error

createRevision

Revision createRevision(Asset asset,
                        java.lang.String label,
                        java.lang.String comment)
                 throws java.lang.Exception

Create a new Revision of the asset. The revision will be created as a standard JCR version of the underlying asset node.

Parameters:

asset - The asset to version

label - version label

comment - version comment

Returns:

The created revision

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - Thrown when an error during version creation occurred.

assignAssetID

java.lang.String assignAssetID(Asset asset)
                        throws PathNotFoundException,
                               RepositoryException

Ask Asset ID Provider (associated with Asset Manager) to assign ID (if needed) to an asset and establish its parentage (dam:parentAssetID)

Parameters:

asset - The asset to update

Throws:

RepositoryException

PathNotFoundException
