Method Detail

getDescriptorKeys

java.lang.String[] getDescriptorKeys()
Returns a string array holding all descriptor keys available for this implementation, both the standard descriptors defined by the string constants in this interface and any implementation-specific descriptors. Used in conjunction with getDescriptorValue(String key) and getDescriptorValues(String key) to query information about this repository implementation.

Returns:
a string array holding all descriptor keys.

isStandardDescriptor

boolean isStandardDescriptor(java.lang.String key)
Returns true if key is a standard descriptor defined by the string constants in this interface and false if it is either a valid implementation-specific key or not a valid key.

Parameters:
key - a descriptor key.
Returns:
whether key is a standard descriptor.
Since:
JCR 2.0

isSingleValueDescriptor

boolean isSingleValueDescriptor(java.lang.String key)
Returns true if key is a valid single-value descriptor; otherwise returns false.

Parameters:
key - a descriptor key.
Returns:
whether the specified desdfriptor is multi-valued.
Since:
JCR 2.0

getDescriptorValue

Value getDescriptorValue(java.lang.String key)
The value of a single-value descriptor is found by passing the key for that descriptor to this method. If key is the key of a multi-value descriptor or not a valid key this method returns null.

Parameters:
key - a descriptor key.
Returns:
The value of the indicated descriptor
Since:
JCR 2.0

getDescriptorValues

Value[] getDescriptorValues(java.lang.String key)
The value array of a multi-value descriptor is found by passing the key for that descriptor to this method. If key is the key of a single-value descriptor then this method returns that value as an array of size one. If key is not a valid key this method returns null.

Parameters:
key - a descriptor key.
Returns:
the value array for the indicated descriptor
Since:
JCR 2.0

getDescriptor

java.lang.String getDescriptor(java.lang.String key)

A convenience method. The call

String s = repository.getDescriptor(key);

is equivalent to

Value v = repository.getDescriptorValue(key);
String s = (v == null) ? null : v.getString();

Parameters:
key - a descriptor key.
Returns:
a descriptor value in string form.

login

Session login(Credentials credentials,
              java.lang.String workspaceName)
              throws LoginException,
                     NoSuchWorkspaceException,
                     RepositoryException
Authenticates the user using the supplied credentials. If workspaceName is recognized as the name of an existing workspace in the repository and authorization to access that workspace is granted, then a new Session object is returned. The format of the string workspaceName depends upon the implementation.

If credentials is null, it is assumed that authentication is handled by a mechanism external to the repository itself (for example, through the JAAS framework) and that the repository implementation exists within a context (for example, an application server) that allows it to handle authorization of the request for access to the specified workspace.

If workspaceName is null, a default workspace is automatically selected by the repository implementation. This may, for example, be the "home workspace" of the user whose credentials were passed, though this is entirely up to the configuration and implementation of the repository. Alternatively, it may be a "null workspace" that serves only to provide the method Workspace.getAccessibleWorkspaceNames(), allowing the client to select from among available "real" workspaces.

Parameters:
credentials - The credentials of the user
workspaceName - the name of a workspace.
Returns:
a valid session for the user to access the repository.
Throws:
LoginException - if authentication or authorization for the specified workspace fails.
NoSuchWorkspaceException - if the specified workspaceName is not recognized.
RepositoryException - if another error occurs.

login

Session login(Credentials credentials)
              throws LoginException,
