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)

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)

                               String name)

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

getDate

                                 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)
