a Value of PropertyType.DATE

createValue

public Value createValue(double value)

Returns a Value object of PropertyType.DOUBLE with the specified value.

Specified by:

createValue in interface ValueFactory

Parameters:

value - a double

Returns:

a Value of PropertyType.DOUBLE

createValue

public Value createValue(java.io.InputStream value)

Returns a Value object of PropertyType.BINARY with a value consisting of the content of the specified InputStream.

The passed InputStream is closed before this method returns either normally or because of an exception.

Specified by:

createValue in interface ValueFactory

Parameters:

value - an InputStream

Returns:

a Value of PropertyType.BINARY

createValue

public Value createValue(long value)

Returns a Value object of PropertyType.LONG with the specified value.

Specified by:

createValue in interface ValueFactory

Parameters:

value - a long

Returns:

a Value of PropertyType.LONG

createValue

public Value createValue(Node value)
                  throws RepositoryException

Returns a Value object of PropertyType.REFERENCE that holds the identifier of the specified Node. This Value object can then be used to set a property that will be a reference to that Node.

Specified by:

createValue in interface ValueFactory

Parameters:

value - a Node

Returns:

a Value of PropertyType.REFERENCE

Throws:

RepositoryException - if the specified Node is not referenceable, the current Session is no longer active, or another error occurs.

createValue

public Value createValue(java.lang.String value)

Returns a Value object of PropertyType.STRING with the specified value.

Specified by:

createValue in interface ValueFactory

Parameters:

value - a String

Returns:

a Value of PropertyType.STRING

createValue

public Value createValue(java.lang.String value,
                         int type)
                  throws ValueFormatException

Returns a Value object of the PropertyType specified by type with the specified value.

Specified by:

createValue in interface ValueFactory

Parameters:

value - a String

type - one of the constants defined in PropertyType.

Returns:

a Value of PropertyType type.

Throws:

ValueFormatException - if the specified value cannot be converted to the specified type.

createBinary

public Binary createBinary(java.io.InputStream stream)
                    throws RepositoryException

Returns a Binary object with a value consisting of the content of the specified InputStream.

The passed InputStream is closed before this method returns either normally or because of an exception.

Specified by:

createBinary in interface ValueFactory

Parameters:

stream - an InputStream

Returns:

a Binary

Throws:

RepositoryException - if an error occurs.

createValue

public Value createValue(Binary value)

Returns a Value object of PropertyType.BINARY with a value consisting of the content of the specified Binary.

Specified by:

createValue in interface ValueFactory

Parameters:

value - a Binary

Returns:

a Value of PropertyType.BINARY

public Value createValue(java.math.BigDecimal value)

Returns a Value object of PropertyType.DECIMAL with the specified value.

Specified by:

createValue in interface ValueFactory

Parameters:

value - a double

Returns:

a Value of PropertyType.DECIMAL

createValue

public Value createValue(Node node,
                         boolean weak)
                  throws RepositoryException

Returns a Value object of PropertyType.REFERENCE (if weak is false) or PropertyType.REFERENCE (if weak is true) that holds the identifier of the specified Node. This Value object can then be used to set a property that will be a reference to that Node.

Specified by:

createValue in interface ValueFactory

Parameters:

node - a Node

weak - a boolean. If true then a PropertyType.WEAKREFERENCE is created, otherwise a PropertyType.REFERENCE is created.

Returns:

a Value of PropertyType.REFERENCE or PropertyType.REFERENCE

Throws:

RepositoryException - if the specified Node is not referenceable, the current Session is no longer active, or another error occurs.
