Interface ResourceLocator

public interface ResourceLocator

This interface can be used for searching portal resources based on existing content mappings. This interface is thread safe and can be cached. An instance of this interface can be obtained via the ContentMappingInfoHome interface.

Since:
7.0.0.0
See Also:
ContentMappingInfoHome

Method Summary
 IterableListModel<ObjectID> findAllResourcesByObjectType(ObjectType objectType)
          Return the ObjectIDs of all portal resources of a given object type contained in the current virtual portal that are mapped to at least one content resource.
 IterableListModel<ObjectID> findResourcesByContentId(java.lang.String contentId)
          Return all portal resources mapped directly to the given content ID.
 IterableListModel<ObjectID> findResourcesByContentPath(java.lang.String contentPath)
          Return all portal resources mapped directly to the given contentPath (no path prefix matching is performed).
 IterableListModel<ObjectID> findResourcesByLongestPathMatch(java.util.List<java.lang.String> contentPathElementIDs)
          This method locates portal resources mapped to a specific content resource.
 IterableListModel<ObjectID> findResourcesByObjectTypeOrderedByLastModified(ObjectType objectType, int beginIndex, int endIndex)
          Return the ObjectIDs for a sub sequence of all portal resources of a given object type contained in the current virtual portal that are mapped to at least one content resource.
 

Method Detail

findResourcesByLongestPathMatch

IterableListModel<ObjectID> findResourcesByLongestPathMatch(java.util.List<java.lang.String> contentPathElementIDs)
                                                            throws ContentMappingDataBackendException,
                                                                   MalformedContentPathException
This method locates portal resources mapped to a specific content resource. The content resource is identified by the list of content ID values identifying the content resources contained in the path from the resource's content root resource to the resource.

Parameters:
contentPathElementIDs - The ordered list of content ID values identifying the content resources contained in the path from the resource's content root resource to the resource. E.g. for a resource identified by a content path of /a/b/c it would be a list of length 3, containing the content ID values of the resources /a, /a/b and /a/b/c in the given order.
Returns:
A list model for all portal resources that have the longest path match with the given content item. Portal resources are represented by their ObjectID values. If no mapped resources exist, an empty list model is returned.

Example: Assume the following resource mappings:

  • Resource1 maps to /a
  • Resource2 maps to /a/b
  • Resource3 maps to /a/b/d
  • Resource4 maps to /e
  • Resource5 maps to /a/b
In this case the locator result for /a/b/c would consist of resources 2 and 5 since both have the longest path match (matching 2 path fragements).
Remark: resource 1 has a shorter match, while resources 3 and 4 do not match at all.
Throws:
ContentMappingDataBackendException - In case there is a problem while acessing persitent storage.
MalformedContentPathException - In case the provided path value is not a valid content path.

findResourcesByContentPath

IterableListModel<ObjectID> findResourcesByContentPath(java.lang.String contentPath)
                                                       throws ContentMappingDataBackendException
Returns all portal resources mapped directly to the given contentPath (no path prefix matching is performed). This method never returns null

Parameters:
contentPath - The path to the content resource.
Throws:
ContentMappingDataBackendException

findResourcesByContentId

IterableListModel<ObjectID> findResourcesByContentId(java.lang.String contentId)
                                                     throws ContentMappingDataBackendException
Returns all portal resources mapped directly to the given content ID. This method never returns null

Parameters:
contentId - The ID of the content resource.
Throws:
ContentMappingDataBackendException

findAllResourcesByObjectType

IterableListModel<ObjectID> findAllResourcesByObjectType(ObjectType objectType)
                                                         throws ContentMappingDataBackendException,
                                                                MalformedContentPathException
Returns the ObjectIDs of all portal resources of a given object type contained in the current virtual portal that are mapped to at least one content resource.

Parameters:
objectType - The object type (e.g. ObjectTypeConstants.CONTENT_NODE.getType())
Returns:
Throws:
ContentMappingDataBackendException
MalformedContentPathException

findResourcesByObjectTypeOrderedByLastModified

IterableListModel<ObjectID> findResourcesByObjectTypeOrderedByLastModified(ObjectType objectType,
                                                                           int beginIndex,
                                                                           int endIndex)
                                                                           throws ContentMappingDataBackendException,
                                                                                  MalformedContentPathException
Returns the ObjectIDs for a sub sequence of all portal resources of a given object type contained in the current virtual portal that are mapped to at least one content resource. The sequence is ordered according to that last modified time stamp in descending order (newest first). The sequence begins at the specified beginIndex and extends to the object at index endIndex - 1. Thus the length of the substring is endIndex-beginIndex

Parameters:
objectType - The object type (e.g. ObjectTypeConstants.CONTENT_NODE.getType())
beginIndex - The index of the first item to return
endIndex - The index of the first item that is not returned but truncated.
Returns:
Throws:
ContentMappingDataBackendException
MalformedContentPathException
