Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`Boolean`	`getBoolean(String propertyName)` Returns the boolean value of a node property
`Boolean[]`	`getBooleans(String propertyName)` Returns boolean array of the boolean values of a node property
`String`	`getCanonicalPath()` The canonical path can be a different location then `getPath()` because the latter might give some virtual / mirrored path of the value provider

`Calendar[]`	`getDates(String propertyName)` Returns Calendar array of the Calendar values of a node property.
`Double`	`getDouble(String propertyName)` Returns the double value of a node property.
`Double[]`	`getDoubles(String propertyName)` Returns double array of the long values of a node property.
`String`	`getIdentifier()`
`Long`	`getLong(String propertyName)` Returns the long value of a node property.
`Long[]`	`getLongs(String propertyName)` Returns long array of the long values of a node property.
`String`	`getName()`
`String`	`getPath()`
`Map<String,Object>`	`getProperties()` Returns all combined properties that are of type String, boolean, int, long, double or Calendar in a Map.
`PropertyMap`	`getPropertyMap()` Returns all combined properties that are of type String, boolean, int, long, double or Calendar in a PropertyMap.
`String`	`getString(String propertyName)` Returns the string value of a node property
`String[]`	`getStrings(String propertyName)` Returns String array of string values of a node property
`boolean`	`hasProperty(String propertyName)` Method returning true when the jcr node has the property

  - getPath
```
String getPath()
```
    Returns:
    
    the path of the object used to create this valueprovider with
  - getCanonicalPath
```
String getCanonicalPath()
```
    The canonical path can be a different location then getPath() because the latter might give some virtual / mirrored path of the value provider
    
    Returns:
    
    the canonical path of the object used to create this valueprovider with
  - getIdentifier
```
String getIdentifier()
```
    Returns:
    
    the identifier of the object used to create this valueprovider with
  - getName
```
String getName()
```
    Returns:
    
    the name of the object used to create this valueprovider with
  - hasProperty
```
boolean hasProperty(String propertyName)
```
    Method returning true when the jcr node has the property
    
    Parameters:
    
    propertyName -
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the node has the propertyName
  - getString
```
String getString(String propertyName)
```
    Returns the string value of a node property
    
    Parameters:
    
    propertyName -
    
    Returns:
    
    String value of the node property, or null if the property does not exist, or is multivalued, or is not of type string
  - getStrings
```
String[] getStrings(String propertyName)
```
    Returns String array of string values of a node property
    
    Parameters:
    
    propertyName -
    
    Returns:
    
    String[] values of the node property, or an empty string array String[0] if the property does not exist, or is single-valued, or is not of type string
  - getBoolean
```
Boolean getBoolean(String propertyName)
```
    Returns the boolean value of a node property
    
    Parameters:
    
    propertyName -
    
    Returns:
    
    Boolean value of the node property. If the property does not exist, or is multivalued, or is not of type boolean, false is returned
  - getBooleans
```
Boolean[] getBooleans(String propertyName)
```
    Returns boolean array of the boolean values of a node property
    
    Parameters:
    
    propertyName -
    
    Returns:
    
    Boolean[] values of the node property. If the property does not exist, or is single-valued, or is not of type boolean, an empty boolean array Boolean[0] is returned
  - getLong
```
Long getLong(String propertyName)
```
    Returns the long value of a node property.
    
    Parameters:
    
    propertyName -
    
    Returns:
    
    Long value of the node property. If the property does not exist, or is multivalued, or is not of type long, 0 is returned
  - getLongs
```
Long[] getLongs(String propertyName)
```
    Returns long array of the long values of a node property.
    
    Parameters:
    
    propertyName -
    
    Returns:
    
    Long array presentation of the node property. If the property does not exist, or is single-valued, or is not of type long, an empty array Long[0] is returned
  - getDouble
```
Double getDouble(String propertyName)
```
    Returns the double value of a node property.
    
    Parameters:
    
    propertyName -
    
    Returns:
    
    Double value of the node property. If the property does not exist, or is multivalued, or is not of type double, 0 is returned
  - getDoubles
```
Double[] getDoubles(String propertyName)
```
    Returns double array of the long values of a node property.
    
    Parameters:
