Method Detail

getHolds

Hold[] getHolds(java.lang.String absPath)
                throws PathNotFoundException,
                       AccessDeniedException,
                       RepositoryException

Returns all hold objects that have been added through this API to the existing node at absPath. If no hold has been set before, this method returns an empty array.

Parameters:

absPath - an absolute path.

Returns:

All hold objects that have been added to the existing node at absPath through this API or an empty array if no hold has been set.

Throws:

PathNotFoundException - if no node at absPath exists or the session does not have sufficent access to retrieve the node.

AccessDeniedException - if the current session does not have sufficient access to retrieve the holds.

RepositoryException - if another error occurs.

addHold

Hold addHold(java.lang.String absPath,
             java.lang.String name,
             boolean isDeep)
             throws PathNotFoundException,
                    AccessDeniedException,

                    VersionException,
                    RepositoryException

Places a hold on the existing node at absPath. If isDeep is true) the hold applies to this node and its subgraph. The hold does not take effect until a save is performed. A node may have more than one hold.

The format and interpretation of the name are not specified. They are application-dependent.

A VersionException will be thrown either immediately, on dispatch or on persists, if the node at absPath is read-only due to a checked-in node. Implementations may differ on when this validation is performed.

A LockException will be thrown either immediately, on dispatch or on persists, if a lock prevents the operation. Implementations may differ on when this validation is performed.

Parameters:

absPath - an absolute path.

name - an application-dependent string.

isDeep - a boolean indicating if the hold applies to the subgraph.

Returns:

The Hold applied.

Throws:

PathNotFoundException - if no node at absPath exists or the session does not have sufficient access to retrieve the node.

AccessDeniedException - if the current session does not have sufficient access to perform the operation.

LockException - if a lock applies at the node at absPath and this implementation performs this validation immediately.

VersionException - if the node at absPath is read-only due to a checked-in node. and this implementation performs this validation immediately.

RepositoryException - if another error occurs.

removeHold

void removeHold(java.lang.String absPath,
                Hold hold)

                       AccessDeniedException,
                       LockException,
                       VersionException,
                       RepositoryException

Removes the specified hold from the node at absPath. The removal does not take effect until a save is performed.

A VersionException will be thrown either immediately, on dispatch or on persists, if the node at absPath is read-only due to a checked-in node. Implementations may differ on when this validation is performed.

A LockException will be thrown either immediately, on dispatch or on persists, if a lock prevents the operation. Implementations may differ on when this validation is performed.

Parameters:

absPath - an absolute path.

hold - the hold to be removed.

Throws:

PathNotFoundException - if no node at absPath exists or the session does not have sufficient access to retrieve the node.

AccessDeniedException - if the current session does not have sufficient access to perform the operation.

LockException - if a lock applies at the node at absPath and this implementation performs this validation immediately.

VersionException - if the node at absPath is read-only due to a checked-in node and this implementation performs this validation immediately.

RepositoryException - if another error occurs.

Parameters:

absPath - an absolute path to an existing node.

Returns:

The retention policy that applies to the existing node at absPath or null if no policy applies.

                               RepositoryException

Sets the retention policy of the node at absPath to that defined in the specified policy node. Interpretation and enforcement of this policy is an implementation issue. In any case the policy does does not take effect until a save is performed.

A VersionException will be thrown either immediately, on dispatch or on persists, if the node at absPath is read-only due to a checked-in node. Implementations may differ on when this validation is performed.

A LockException will be thrown either immediately, on dispatch or on persists, if a lock prevents the operation. Implementations may differ on when this validation is performed.

Parameters:

absPath - an absolute path to an existing node.

retentionPolicy - a retention policy.

Throws:

PathNotFoundException - if no node at absPath exists or the session does not have sufficient access to retrieve the node.

AccessDeniedException - if the current session does not have sufficient access to perform the operation.

LockException - if a lock applies at the node at absPath and this implementation performs this validation immediately.

VersionException - if the node at absPath is read-only due to a checked-in node and this implementation performs this validation immediately.

RepositoryException - if another error occurs.

                                  VersionException,
                                  RepositoryException

Causes the current retention policy on the node at absPath to no longer apply. The removal does not take effect until a save is performed.

A VersionException will be thrown either immediately, on dispatch or on persists, if the node at absPath is read-only due to a checked-in node. Implementations may differ on when this validation is performed.
