Interface QNodeTypeDefinition

  • All Known Implementing Classes:
    QNodeTypeDefinitionImpl
    public interface QNodeTypeDefinition
    QNodeTypeDefinition is the SPI representation of a node type. It refers to Names only and is therefore independent of session-specific namespace mappings.

    NodeType

    • Method Detail

      • getName

        Name getName()
        Returns the name of the node type being defined or null if not set.
        Returns:
        the name of the node type or null if not set.

      • getSupertypes

        Name[] getSupertypes()
        Returns an array containing the names of the supertypes. If no supertypes have been specified, then an empty array is returned for mixin types and the nt:base primary type and an array containing just nt:base for other primary types.

        The returned array must not be modified by the application.

        Returns:
        an array of supertype names

      • getSupportedMixinTypes

        Name[] getSupportedMixinTypes()
        Returns an array containing the names of additional mixin types supported on this node type.

        The returned array must not be modified by the application.

        Returns:
        an array of mixin type names, or null when there are no known constraints.

      • isMixin

        boolean isMixin()
        Returns the value of the mixin flag.
        Returns:
        true if this is a mixin node type; false otherwise.

      • isAbstract

        boolean isAbstract()
        Returns true if the definition is abstract; false otherwise.
        Returns:
        true if the definition is abstract; false otherwise.
        Since:
        JCR 2.0

      • isQueryable

        boolean isQueryable()
        Returns true if the definition is queryable; false otherwise.
        Returns:
        true if the definition is queryable; false otherwise.
        Since:
        JCR 2.0

      • hasOrderableChildNodes

        boolean hasOrderableChildNodes()
        Returns the value of the orderableChildNodes flag.
        Returns:
        true if nodes of this node type can have orderable child nodes; false otherwise.

      • getPrimaryItemName

        Name getPrimaryItemName()
        Returns the name of the primary item (one of the child items of the node's of this node type) or null if not set.
        Returns:
        the name of the primary item or null if not set.

      • getPropertyDefs

        QPropertyDefinition[] getPropertyDefs()
        Returns an array containing the property definitions.
        Returns:
        an array containing the property definitions.

      • getChildNodeDefs

        QNodeDefinition[] getChildNodeDefs()
        Returns an array containing the child node definitions.
        Returns:
        an array containing the child node definitions.

      • getDependencies

        java.util.Collection<Name> getDependencies()
        Returns a collection of node type Names that are being referenced by this node type definition (e.g. as supertypes, as required/default primary types in child node definitions, as REFERENCE value constraints in property definitions).

        Note that self-references (e.g. a child node definition that specifies the declaring node type as the default primary type) are not considered dependencies.

        Returns:
        a collection of node type Names
