Method Detail

getChannels

Map<String,Channel> getChannels()
                                throws ChannelException

List all managed channels, identified by their channel IDs

Returns:

Throws:

ChannelException

getChannel

Channel getChannel(String channelPath)
                   throws ChannelException

Returns the channel configured at the given JCR path.

Throws:

ChannelException

persist

String persist(String blueprintId,
               Channel channel)
               throws ChannelException

Persists a channel. Will create the mounts, sites and configuration when the channel is new.

When invoking this method, an HstSubject context must be provided with the credentials necessary to persist the channel.

The persisted channel can be retrieved again via #getChannels#get(String) with the returned channel ID.

Parameters:

blueprintId - blueprint that contains prototypes for mount, site and hst configuration

channel - a channel instance to be persisted

Returns:

the channel ID of the created channel

Throws:

ChannelException - with type @{link ChannelException.Type#MOUNT_NOT_FOUND} when all but the last path-step in the URL path of a new channel do not map to existing mounts. The exception has one parameter: the absolute JCR path of the missing mount.

ChannelException - with type @{link ChannelException.Type#MOUNT_EXISTS} when the mount of a new channel already exists. The exception has one parameter: the absolute JCR path of the existing mount.

save

void save(Channel channel)
          throws ChannelException

Save channel properties. If the URL path of the new channel is not empty, all path-steps except the last one should already map to an existing mount.

When invoking this method, an HstSubject context must be provided with the credentials necessary to persist the channel.

Parameters:

channel - the channel to persist

Throws:

ChannelException - with type @{link ChannelException.Type#MOUNT_NOT_FOUND} when all but the last path-step in the URL path of a new channel do not map to existing mounts, or the URL path of an existing channel does not map to an existing mount. The exception has one parameter: the absolute JCR path of the missing mount.

ChannelException - with type ChannelException.Type.UNKNOWN} when the channel could not be persisted.

getBlueprints

Parameters:

id -

Returns:

Throws:

ChannelException

                                                 throws ChannelException
