## com.bea.content.manager
Interface RepositoryManager

All Superinterfaces:
  Serializable

public interface RepositoryManager
extends Serializable

This class acts as a virtual repository to all configured repositories. It is the entry point to connect to and operate on the repositories. For each available Repository, a RepositorySession will be created and added to the returned array. A connection may also be attempted to a specific Repository in which case, the RepositorySession for that attempted connection will be added to the RepositorySession array and returned. The RepositoryManager may be cached (perhaps in the HttpSession). If this is the case, it is up to the client to keep RepositorySessions in sync with the user's connection and disconnections to Repositories.

Method Summary
`void` | `addSession(String repositoryName, RepositorySession session)` Adds a RepositorySession.
`RepositorySession[]` | `connect()` Attempts to connect to all availble Repositories with the current user's Credenntials.
`RepositorySession` | `connect(String repositoryName)` Attempts to connect to a specific repository using the current user's credentials and returns the RepositorySession based on the attempt.
`RepositorySession` | `connect(String repositoryName, String userName, String password)` Attempts to connect to a specific repository and returns the RepositorySession based on the attempt.
`NodeOps` | `getNodeOps()` Gets a NodeOps service.
`ObjectClassOps` | `getObjectClassOps()` Gets a ObjectClassOps service.
`RepositoryOps` | `getRepositoryOps()` Gets a RepositoryOps service.
`SearchOps` | `getSearchOps()` Gets a SearchOps service.
`RepositorySession[]` | `getSessions()` Gets the RepositorySessions.
`WorkspaceOps` | `getWorkspaceOps()` Gets a WorkspaceOps service object
`void` | `removeSession(String repositoryName)` Removes a RepositorySession

    `RepositoryException` - if an error occurs.

### connect

    public RepositorySession connect(String repositoryName)

  Attempts to connect to a specific repository using the current user's credentials and returns the RepositorySession based on the attempt. Any error in connecting is described by the RepositorySession's state.

### connect

    public RepositorySession connect(String repositoryName,
