NodeRef

public NodeRef(String protocol,
 String identifier,
 String id)

See Also:

• NodeRef(StoreRef, String)
• StoreRef(String, String)

NodeRef

public NodeRef(StoreRef storeRef,
 String id)

Construct a Node Reference from a Store Reference and Node Id

Parameters:

storeRef - store reference

id - the manually assigned identifier of the node

NodeRef

public NodeRef(String nodeRef)

Construct a Node Reference from a string representation of a Node Reference.

The string representation of a Node Reference is as follows:

 /
 

Parameters:

nodeRef - the string representation of a node ref

Method Details

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Override equals for this ref type

Overrides:

equals in class Object

See Also:

• Object.equals(java.lang.Object)

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Hashes on ID alone. As the number of copies of a particular node will be minimal, this is acceptable

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

getStoreRef

public final StoreRef getStoreRef()

Returns:

The StoreRef part of this reference

getId

public final String getId()

Returns:

The Node Id part of this reference

isNodeRef

public static boolean isNodeRef(String nodeRef)

Determine if passed string conforms to the pattern of a node reference

Parameters:

nodeRef - the node reference as a string

Returns:

true => it matches the pattern of a node reference

getNodeRefs

public static List<NodeRef> getNodeRefs(String values)

Converts a String containing a comma-separated list of NodeRef Ids into NodeRefs.

Parameters:

values - the String of NodeRef ids.

Returns:

A List of NodeRefs.

getNodeRefs

public static List<NodeRef> getNodeRefs(String values,
 org.apache.commons.logging.Log logger)

Converts a String containing a comma-separated list of NodeRef Ids into NodeRefs. If a logger is supplied then invalid ids are logged as warnings.

Parameters:

values - the String of NodeRef ids.

logger - Log

Returns:

A List of NodeRefs.
