All Implemented Interfaces:

public class MgnlGroovyJCRNode
extends info.magnolia.jcr.wrapper.DelegateNodeWrapper

Implementation of wrapped Node object used in Groovy console context. This makes it possible, for example, navigating the nodes in a Magnolia repository with a . (dot) notation and access their properties with . or .@ notation much like it happens when using the result of parsing an xml with groovy's groovy.util.XmlSlurper.XmlSlurper. For example, here is how, in a groovy script, one could navigate to and print the node data named abstract:

 session = ctx.getJCRSession('website')
 node = session.getNode('/demo-project')
 println node.about.history.abstract
 

The above example can also be made more groovy-like by using the @ notation to access the property

 node.about.history.@abstract
 

As node is also a Node, you can call any of its methods. E.g.

 println node.metaData.template
 println node.about.title
 println node.about.parent (this can return null)
 

If you want to iterate over properties for a certain node you can do for instance

 node.about.properties.each {println it.name}
 

It is also possible to assign values to properties or create new ones. E.g.

 node.foo = 3.14d
 node.bar = true
 node.baz = 'some text'
 node.qux = 100
 

will assign the values on the right hand side to the node data on left hand side. Should those not exist, they will be automatically created. Furthermore, the correct type will be detected based on the value assigned (i.e. Boolean, String, Calendar, Long or Double).

IMPORTANT: All the above assignments will be in-memory only unless explicitly persisted via a call to save() on a parent node.

public String name()

get

public Object get(String key)
           throws javax.jcr.ValueFormatException,
                  javax.jcr.RepositoryException

Provides lookup of elements by non-namespaced name.

Parameters:

key - the name (or shortcut key) of the node(s) of interest

Returns:

the nodes which match key

Throws:

javax.jcr.RepositoryException

javax.jcr.ValueFormatException

getPropertyValue

protected Object getPropertyValue(javax.jcr.Property property)

                                  javax.jcr.ValueFormatException

Returns the value for the given property. The Java types returned vary according to the underlying PropertyType.

• PropertyType.STRING returns a String
• PropertyType.DATE returns a Calendar
• PropertyType.DOUBLE returns a BigDecimal
• PropertyType.LONG returns a BigDecimal
• PropertyType.BINARY returns the InputStream value.
• All other property types will be returned as String(s)

Throws:

javax.jcr.RepositoryException

javax.jcr.ValueFormatException
