Method Detail

createVersion

VersionDef createVersion(java.lang.String label,
                         java.lang.String comment)
                  throws ContentFragmentException

Creates a new version of the implementing element.

Transactional behavior: All previous changes to the entire content fragment need to be committed before this method is called. The method will also commit all required changes, so the caller does not have to explicitly commit the respective ResourceResolver.

Parameters:

label - The label

comment - A comment

Returns:

Definition of the newly created version

Throws:

ContentFragmentException - if the element could not be versioned

java.lang.IllegalStateException - if the required transactional prerequisites are not met, for example if the respective ResourceResolver has pending/uncommitted changes

listVersions

java.util.Iterator<VersionDef> listVersions()
                                     throws ContentFragmentException

Creates an iterator on the versions that are available for the implementing element.

The list does not contain the "current" version of the element itself, only archived versions.

Returns:

Iterator on available versions

Throws:

ContentFragmentException - if the version history could not be created

getVersionedContent

VersionedContent getVersionedContent(VersionDef version)
                              throws ContentFragmentException

Gets the content of the version of the implementing element that is specified by the provided VersionDef.

The VersionDef should match one of those returned by listVersions().

Parameters:

version - The version definition

Returns:

The versioned content

Throws:

ContentFragmentException - if the version content could not be determined or an invalid version definition was provided
