                               Object propertyValue)
                        throws javax.jcr.RepositoryException

Allows setting a Node's property from an object.

Throws:

javax.jcr.RepositoryException

createValue

                                          int type,
                                          javax.jcr.ValueFactory valueFactory)

Transforms a string to a jcr value object.

getJCRPropertyType

public static int getJCRPropertyType(Object obj)

Returns:

JCR-PropertyType corresponding to provided Object.

updateOrCreate

public static void updateOrCreate(javax.jcr.Node node,
                                  String string,
                                  GregorianCalendar gregorianCalendar)
                           throws javax.jcr.RepositoryException

Updates existing property or creates a new one if it doesn't exist already.

Throws:

javax.jcr.RepositoryException

getDateFormat

public static String getDateFormat()

getValuesStringList

public static List<String> getValuesStringList(javax.jcr.Value[] values)

getValueString

public static String getValueString(javax.jcr.Property property)

Returns value of the property converted to string no matter what it's type actually is. In case of dates, value if formatted according to format returned by getDateFormat(). Binary and reference values are converted to empty string. In case of error during conversion, null will be returned instead. Works only for single value properties.

getValueString

public static String getValueString(javax.jcr.Value value)

Returns value converted to string no matter what it's type actually is. In case of dates, value if formatted according to format returned by getDateFormat(). Binary and reference values are converted to empty string. In case of error during conversion, null will be returned instead.

createValue

public static javax.jcr.Value createValue(Object obj,
                                          javax.jcr.ValueFactory valueFactory)
                                   throws javax.jcr.RepositoryException

Throws:

javax.jcr.RepositoryException

getDate

public static Calendar getDate(javax.jcr.Node node,
                               String name)

Return the Calendar representing the node property value. If the Node did not contain such a Property, then return null.

getDate

public static Calendar getDate(javax.jcr.Node node,
                               String name,
                               Calendar defaultValue)

Return the Calendar representing the node property value. If the Node did not contain such a Property, then return the default value.

getString

public static String getString(javax.jcr.Node node,
                               String name)

Return the String representing the node property value. If the Node did not contain such a Property, then return null.

getString

                               String name,
                               String defaultValue)

Return the String representing the node property value. If the Node did not contain such a Property, then return the default value.

getBoolean

public static boolean getBoolean(javax.jcr.Node node,

                                 boolean defaultValue)

Return the boolean representing the node property value. If the Node did not contain such a Property, then return the default value.

getPropertyOrNull

public static javax.jcr.Property getPropertyOrNull(javax.jcr.Node node,
                                                   String relativePath)

Return the Property relative to the Node or null if it's not existing or in case of any RepositoryException.

getProperty

public static javax.jcr.Property getProperty(javax.jcr.Node node,
                                             String relativePath)

Deprecated. since 4.5 - use getPropertyOrNull instead

getPropertyValueObject

public static Object getPropertyValueObject(javax.jcr.Node node,
                                            String relativePath)

Return the Value Object from a property. Return null in case of exception. The returned Object could be a basic PropertyType type or in case of multivalue, a LinkedList of PropertyType type objects.
