Interface PropertyState

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractPropertyState, BinaryPropertyState, BooleanPropertyState, DecimalPropertyState, DoublePropertyState, EmptyPropertyState, GenericPropertyState, LongPropertyState, MultiBinaryPropertyState, MultiBooleanPropertyState, MultiDecimalPropertyState, MultiDoublePropertyState, MultiGenericPropertyState, MultiLongPropertyState, MultiStringPropertyState, StringPropertyState

public interface PropertyState

Immutable property state. A property consists of a name and a value. A value is either an atom or an array of atoms.

Equality and hash codes

Two property states are considered equal if and only if their names and values match. The Object.equals(Object) method needs to be implemented so that it complies with this definition. And while property states are not meant for use as hash keys, the Object.hashCode() method should still be implemented according to this equality contract.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
int	count()	The number of values of this property.
@NotNull String	getName()
Type<?>	getType()	Determine the type of this property
<T> T	getValue(Type<T> type)	Value of this property.
<T> T	getValue(Type<T> type, int index)	Value at the given index.
boolean	isArray()	Determine whether the value is an array of atoms
long	size()	The size of the value of this property.
long	size(int index)	The size of the value at the given index.

Method Detail

getName

@NotNull
@NotNull String getName()

Returns:

the name of this property state

isArray

boolean isArray()

Determine whether the value is an array of atoms

Returns:

true if and only if the value is an array of atoms.

getType

Type<?> getType()

Determine the type of this property

Returns:

the type of this property

getValue

@NotNull
<T> T getValue(Type<T> type)

Value of this property. The type of the return value is determined by the target type argument. If type.isArray() is true, this method returns an Iterable of the base type of type containing all values of this property. If the target type is not the same as the type of this property an attempt is made to convert the value to the target type. If the conversion fails an exception is thrown. The actual conversions which take place are those defined in the org.apache.jackrabbit.oak.plugins.value.Conversions class.

Type Parameters:

T -

Parameters:

type - target type

Returns:

the value of this property

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if type.isArray() == false and this.isArray() == true. In other words, when trying to convert from an array to an atom.

IllegalArgumentException - if type refers to an unknown type.

NumberFormatException - if conversion to a number failed.

UnsupportedOperationException - if conversion to boolean failed.

getValue

@NotNull
<T> T getValue(Type<T> type,
               int index)

Value at the given index. The type of the return value is determined by the target type argument. If the target type is not the same as the type of this property an attempt is made to convert the value to the target type. If the conversion fails an exception is thrown. The actual conversions which take place are those defined in the org.apache.jackrabbit.oak.plugins.value.Conversions class.

Type Parameters:

T -

Parameters:

type - target type

index -

Returns:

the value of this property at the given index

Throws:

IndexOutOfBoundsException - if index is less than 0 or greater or equals count().

IllegalArgumentException - if type refers to an unknown type or if type.isArray() is true.

size

long size()

The size of the value of this property.

Returns:

size of the value of this property

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if the value is an array

size

long size(int index)

The size of the value at the given index.

Parameters:

index -

Returns:

size of the value at the given index.

Throws:

IndexOutOfBoundsException - if index is less than 0 or greater or equals count().

count

int count()

The number of values of this property. 1 for atoms.

Returns:

number of values
