Interface QueryLanguageProvider<T>

public interface QueryLanguageProvider<T>

The JCR query provider supports querying based on the JCR spec. Calls from ResourceResolver.findResources(String, String) and ResourceResolver.queryResources(String, String) are passed on to this object.

Since:

1.0.0 (Sling API Bundle 2.11.0)

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
java.util.Iterator<Resource>	findResources(ResolveContext<T> ctx, java.lang.String query, java.lang.String language) Searches for resources using the given query formulated in the given language.
java.lang.String[]	getSupportedLanguages(ResolveContext<T> ctx) The supported languages of the resource provider.
java.util.Iterator<ValueMap>	queryResources(ResolveContext<T> ctx, java.lang.String query, java.lang.String language) Queries the storage using the given query formulated in the given language.

Method Detail

getSupportedLanguages

java.lang.String[] getSupportedLanguages(ResolveContext<T> ctx)

The supported languages of the resource provider.

Parameters:

ctx - The resolve context

Returns:

The array of supported languages

findResources

java.util.Iterator<Resource> findResources(ResolveContext<T> ctx,
                                           java.lang.String query,
                                           java.lang.String language)

Searches for resources using the given query formulated in the given language.

The semantic meaning of the query and language depend on the actual implementation and storage used for the resources. For JCR repository being used as storage, the query and language parameters are used to create a JCR Query through the QueryManager. The result returned is then based on the NodeIterator provided by the query result.

Parameters:

ctx - The resolve context

query - The query string to use to find the resources.

language - The language in which the query is formulated.

Returns:

An Iterator of Resource objects matching the query. If no resources match, null might be returned instead of an empty iterator.

Throws:

QuerySyntaxException - If the query is not syntactically correct according to the query language indicator or if the query language is not supported as specified in getSupportedLanguages(ResolveContext).

SlingException - If an error occurs querying for the resources.

java.lang.IllegalStateException - if this resource provider has already been closed.

queryResources

java.util.Iterator<ValueMap> queryResources(ResolveContext<T> ctx,
                                            java.lang.String query,
                                            java.lang.String language)

Queries the storage using the given query formulated in the given language.

The semantic meaning of the query and language depend on the actual implementation and storage used for the resources. For JCR repository being used as storage, the query and language parameters are used to create a JCR Query through the QueryManager. The result returned is then based on the RowIterator provided by the query result. The map returned for each row is indexed by the column name and the column value is the JCR Value object converted into the respective Java object, such as Boolean for a value of property type Boolean.

Parameters:

ctx - The resolve context

query - The query string to use to find the resources.

language - The language in which the query is formulated.

Returns:

An Iterator of Map instances providing access to the query result. If no resources match, null might be returned instead of an empty iterator.

Throws:

QuerySyntaxException - If the query is not syntactically correct according to the query language indicator or if the query language is not supported as specified in getSupportedLanguages(ResolveContext).

SlingException - If an error occurs querying for the resources.

java.lang.IllegalStateException - if this resource provider has already been closed.
