Method Detail

getPropertyDefinition

public static javax.jcr.nodetype.PropertyDefinition getPropertyDefinition(javax.jcr.nodetype.NodeType nodeType,
                                                                          String propertyName)

Returns the PropertyDefinition for the name property in the given node type. If the node type has no matching property definition null is returned.

This method scans as follows: If a PropertyDefinition with the exact name is found, this property definition is returned. Otherwise the first residual property definition is returned. Otherwise null is returned.

Parameters:

nodeType -

propertyName -

propertyType -

Returns:

getPropertyDefinition

public static javax.jcr.nodetype.PropertyDefinition getPropertyDefinition(javax.jcr.nodetype.NodeType nodeType,
                                                                          String propertyName,
                                                                          int requiredPropertyType)

Returns the PropertyDefinition for the name property in the given node type. If the node type has no matching property definition null is returned.

This method scans as follows: If a PropertyDefinition with the exact name is found, this property definition is returned. Otherwise the first residual property definition, which has the same required property type as specified, is returned. Otherwise null is returned.

Parameters:

nodeType -

propertyName -

requiredPropertyType -

Returns:

getPropertyDefinition

public static javax.jcr.nodetype.PropertyDefinition getPropertyDefinition(javax.jcr.Node node,
                                                                          String propertyName)
                                                                   throws javax.jcr.RepositoryException

Returns a PropertyDefinition for the given property name. This method first looks for a matching property definition in the primary node type and then in the list of mixin node types of the node. If a definition whose name is the same as the propertyName is found, this definition is returned. Otherwise a residual property definition may be returned if any available. If there's no matching property, null is returned.

Parameters:

node -

propertyName -

Returns:

Throws:

javax.jcr.RepositoryException
