NodeOps Interface

public interface NodeOps
extends `EJBLocalObject`, `Serializable`

NodeOps is a service for Node CRUD operations. It is used to manage nodes, including their Properties, in a content repository.

WARNING: If using this interface to retrieve binary content from a BEA Repository, please read the javadoc for `RepositoryConfig```.

Each repository has specific validation rules that the manager will delegate to. If a repository considers an attempted operation invalid, it will throw a RepositoryException. The rules for the manager are defined below.

All nodes are uniquely identified through:

- 1) their ID, which includes the repository name that owns the Node and also a uid that uniquely identifies it within the repository. This uid may be the path, a database id, etc.
- 2) their path that uniquely identifies it within a repository. The path should be in unix-like format such as /a/b/c where / is the root and a is the root's child. The path must always begin with / and never end with it. So neither of the following are valid: a/b/c/d or /a/b/d/d/.

  All Properties are identified through their ID, which must include a repository name and a uid that uniquely identifies the Property in the repository. The uid for a Property should be null for creation, but will always contain a value for other operations.

  Node names must not contain either forward, or backslashes.

  A Node may either be a Content Node or a Hierarchy Node as defined by its type. A Hierarchy Node may contain both Hierarchy and Content Nodes, but a Conent Node may only contain other Content Nodes.

  If a node contains an ObjectClass, it will also contain a Property for each PropertyDefinition of its ObjectClass and each Property will be in the shape as defined by its corresponding PropertyDefinition.

  Most operations use ID objects as parameters. Whenever an ID is used, it must not be null and must always contain a repository name. The uid may be null when dealing with root. For example a call to getNodeChildren(ID id) with a correct repository name and a null uid will return all Nodes at root for that repository.

  All operations with the exception of getNodesAncestry are intended to be performed against a single repository. Therefore, all ID parameters in the same method signature must have the same repositoryName. For example, addNodeContent takes both a Node ID and also an ObjectClass ID, so both of these IDs must have the same repository.

  If the Repository is a Managed Repository then some of the methods have different consequences. The basic difference is that if a Repository is Managed, then Node properties are versioned and are passed through a life cycle to get published. Thus, any method that creates new Properties will not create Properties in the Repository, but instead create a VirtualNode that is checked out to the user. The VirtualNode needs to be managed through the WorkspaceOps. If the creation or update of Properties that are already being managed then an UnsupportedRepositoryOperationException will be thrown.

  ## Method Detail

  ### addNodeContent(ID, ID, Property[]) Method

      public Node addNodeContent(ID nodeId,
                                 ID objectClassId,
                                 Property[] properties)
           throws AuthenticationException, AuthorizationException, NoSuchObjectClassException, NoSuchNodeException, RepositoryException

  Updates the node with the given id to contain the given objectClass and properties (content and meta-content). If the node already has an ObjectClass and properties, they will be replaced. If there is a PropertyDefintion in the given ObjectClass with no corresponding Property in the properties array a Property will be created with a null value, unless the Property is required, in which case a validation exception will be thrown. A Call to this method will flush the entry in the Node Cache for this Node.

  If the Repository is a Managed Repository this method will create the Node in the Repository, but not the Properties. Instead, a VirtualNode will be created in the Virtual Repository with the Properties. When the Node moves through the LifeCycle and gets published, the Properties and ObjectClass will be updated on the Node.

  #### Parameters

  nodeId
    - the ID of the node to update. The ID must include the repositoryName and uid.
  objectClassId
    - the ID of the objectClass to associate the Node to. The ID must include the repositoryName and the uid.
  properties
    - the Properties to add or update on the Node.

  #### Returns

  Node - the updated Node. If the operation is for a Maanged Repository, the returned Node will not include the Properties and ObjectClass.

  #### Exceptions

  ``AuthenticationException``
    - if the user attempting the operation isn't authenticated against the repository.
  ``AuthorizationException``
    - if the user attempting the operation is not authorized to perform it.
  ``NoSuchObjectClassException``
    thrown if the ObjectClass to set on the Node does not exist.
  ``NoSuchNodeException``
    - if the Node to update does not exist.
  ``RepositoryException``
    - if system or validation error occurs.

  ### copyNode(ID, ID) Method

      public Node copyNode(ID sourceId,
                           ID destinationId)
           throws AuthenticationException, AuthorizationException, NoSuchNodeException, RepositoryException

  This method copies a Node to a new location in the hierarchy along with all its descendants.

  Each Node will get a new ID, parent ID, new Properties and new children if applicable.

  The copy may only be performed within the same repository, therefore the repositoryName must be the same in both the sourceId and the destinationId.

  The uid must be defined for the sourceId, but if the uid is null for the destinationId, the desination will be the repository root.

  A call to this method will flush the entire Node Cache.

  If the Repository is a Managed Repository, copy will copy all the Nodes to the Repository without the Properties and ObjectClasses, so it will just copy the structure. For each Node it will create a VirtualNode in the Virtual Repository. Thus each Node will be checked out to the user who performed the copy.

  #### Parameters

  sourceId
    - the ID of the Node to be copied. Both the repositoroyName and the uid must be defined in the ID.
  destinationId
    - the ID of the Node under which the sourceId Node is copied. The repositoryName must be defined in the ID. If the uid is null, the destination will be the repository root.

  #### Returns

  Node - the copied Node, with a new uid and path.

  #### Exceptions

  ``AuthenticationException``
    - if the user attempting the operation isn't authenticated against the repository.
  ``AuthorizationException``
    - if the user attempting the operation is not authorized to perform it.
  ``NoSuchNodeException``
    - if the source or destination node can't be found.
  ``RepositoryException``
    - if system or validation error occurs.

           throws AuthenticationException, AuthorizationException, NodeExistsException, RepositoryException

  This method creates a new Content Node underneath the parent. If the uid for the parent ID is null then the new Node is created under root.

  #### Parameters

  parentId
    - the ID for the parent of the node. The parent may be either a Hierarchy or Content Node. The uid for the ID is null if the parent is root. The repositoryName must be defined in the ID.

           throws AuthorizationException, NodeExistsException, NoSuchObjectClassException, RepositoryException

  This method creates a new Content Node underneath the parent. If the parent is null then the new Node is created under root. It associates the ObjectClass with the given id to the new Node and adds the given properties (content and meta-content) to the Node. If there is a PropertyDefintion in the given ObjectClass with no corresponding Property in the properties array a Property will be created with a null value, unless the Property is required, in which case a validation exception will be thrown. The repository for the parentId and the objectClassId must be the same.

  If the Repository is a Managed Repository this method will create the Node in the Repository, but not the Properties. Instead, a VirtualNode will be created in the Virtual Repository with the Properties. When the Node moves through the LifeCycle and gets published, the Properties and ObjectClass will be updated on the Node.

  #### Parameters

           throws AuthorizationException, NodeExistsException, NoSuchObjectClassException, RepositoryException

  This method creates a new Hierarchy Node underneath the parent. If the parent is null then the new Node is created under root. This method also associates the ObjectClass with the given id to the new Node and adds the given properties (content and meta-content) to the Node. If there is a PropertyDefintion in the given ObjectClass with no corresponding Property in the properties array a Property will be created with a null value, unless the Property is required, in which case a validation exception will be thrown.

  If the Repository is a Managed Repository this method will create the Node in the Repository, but not the Properties. Instead, a VirtualNode will be created in the Virtual Repository with the Properties. When the Node moves through the LifeCycle and gets published, the Properties and ObjectClass will be updated on the Node.

  ### deleteNode(ID) Method

      public void deleteNode(ID nodeId)
           throws AuthenticationException, AuthorizationException, NoSuchNodeException, RepositoryException

  This method performs a full cascade delete on a Node. As such, the node, all its descendant Nodes and each of the Nodes Properties are removed in the process.

  A call to this method will flush the entire Node Cache.

  If the Repository is a Managed Repository, delete will be attempted on the history for the Node also. Thus, delete removes all existence of the Node and its properties.

           throws AuthenticationException, AuthorizationException, NoSuchNodeException, RepositoryException

  This method gets the Node for each node ID passed in.

  The IDs may be for different repositories. The IDs are chunked based on continuous repositories so there will only be one call to each repository for the chunk of ids. For example, if the ID array 0-5 contains IDs for repository A and 6-10 contain IDs for repository B, and 11-15 are for repository A, there will be 2 calls to repository A with 0-5 and 11-15 and one call to repository B with 6-10.

  The Node Cache will be checked first before going to the spi to retrieve the Node.

  #### Parameters

  nodeIds
    - the Node IDs to retrieve the Nodes for. Each ID must contain the repositoryName where the Node resides. If nodeIds is null, or an empty array then an empty Node array will be returned.

  #### Returns

  Node[] - the retrieved Nodes.

  #### Exceptions

  ``AuthenticationException``
    - if the user attempting the operation isn't authenticated against the repository.

  #### Parameters

  nodeId
    - the ID for the node.
  propertyId
    - the ID for the Property that contains the binary data. The ID must include the repositoryName.

  #### Returns

  InputStream - the binary data.

  #### Exceptions

                           ID destinationId)
           throws AuthenticationException, AuthorizationException, NodeExistsException, NoSuchNodeException, RepositoryException

  This method moves a Node to a new location in the hierarchy along with all its descendants.

  The parent ID for the source node will be changed, but all descendants of the source node will keep their parent relationships intact.

  The move may only be performed within the same repository, therefore the repositoryName must be the same in both the sourceId and the destinationId.

  A call to this method will flush the entire Node Cache.

  #### Parameters

  sourceId
    - the ID of the Node to be moved. Both repositoryName and the uid must be defined in the ID.
  destinationId
    - the ID of the Node under which the sourceId Node is moved. The repositoryName must be defined in the ID. If the uid is null, the destination will be the repository root.

  #### Returns

  Node - the moved Node, with a new path

  #### Exceptions

  ``AuthenticationException``
    - if the user attempting the operation isn't authenticated against the repository.
  ``AuthorizationException``
    - if the user attempting the operation is not authorized to perform it.
  ``NodeExistsException``
    - if attempting to move a Node to a path that already exists.
  ``NoSuchNodeException``
    - if the source or destination node can't be found.
  ``RepositoryException``
    - if system or validation error occurs.
