Class TreeLocation

java.lang.Object

org.apache.jackrabbit.oak.plugins.tree.TreeLocation

public abstract class TreeLocation
extends java.lang.Object

A TreeLocation denotes a location inside a tree.

It can either refer to a inner node (that is a Tree), to a leaf (that is a PropertyState) or to an invalid location which refers to neither of the former. TreeLocation instances provide methods for navigating trees such that navigation always results in new TreeLocation instances. Navigation never fails. Errors are deferred until the underlying item itself is accessed. That is, if a TreeLocation points to an item which does not exist or is unavailable otherwise (i.e. due to access control restrictions) accessing the tree will return null at this point.
