Method Summary

Class<? extends HippoBean>	getAnnotatedClassFor(String jcrPrimaryNodeType)
Object	getObject(javax.jcr.Node node)
Object	getObject(javax.jcr.Node node, String relPath)
Object	getObject(javax.jcr.Session session, String path)
Object	getObject(String uuid, javax.jcr.Node node)
Object	getObject(String uuid, javax.jcr.Session session)
String	getPrimaryNodeTypeNameFor(Class<? extends HippoBean> hippoBean)
