Interface Summary

Interface	Description
ItemDefinition	Superclass of NodeDefinition and PropertyDefinition.
NodeDefinition	A node definition.
NodeDefinitionTemplate	The NodeDefinitionTemplate interface extends NodeDefinition with the addition of write methods, enabling the characteristics of a child node definition to be set, after which the NodeDefinitionTemplate is added to a NodeTypeTemplate.
NodeType	A NodeType object represents a "live" node type that is registered in the repository.
NodeTypeDefinition	The NodeTypeDefinition interface provides methods for discovering the static definition of a node type.
NodeTypeIterator	An iterator for NodeType objects.
NodeTypeManager	Allows for the retrieval and (in implementations that support it) the registration of node types.
NodeTypeTemplate	The NodeTypeTemplate interface is used to define node types which are then registered through the NodeTypeManager.registerNodeType method.
PropertyDefinition	A property definition.
PropertyDefinitionTemplate	The PropertyDefinitionTemplate interface extends PropertyDefinition with the addition of write methods, enabling the characteristics of a child property definition to be set, after which the PropertyDefinitionTemplate is added to a NodeTypeTemplate.

Exception Summary

Exception	Description
ConstraintViolationException	Exception thrown when an action would violate a constraint on repository structure.
InvalidNodeTypeDefinitionException	Exception thrown when an attempt is made to register an invalid node type definition template.
NodeTypeExistsException	Exception thrown when an attempt is made to register a node type that already exists, and allowUpdate has not been set to true.
NoSuchNodeTypeException	Exception thrown by node type-related methods.
