Class ComponentInheritanceValueMap

java.lang.Object

com.day.cq.commons.ValueMapWrapper

com.day.cq.commons.inherit.ComponentInheritanceValueMap

All Implemented Interfaces:

InheritanceValueMap, Map<String,Object>, ValueMap

public class ComponentInheritanceValueMap
extends ValueMapWrapper
implements InheritanceValueMap

An InheritanceValueMap for a given Resource that will inherit values from ancestors up to its ancestral component, but no higher.

For example, given: /content/parent/page/jcr:content/footer/image/@width, the ComponentInheritanceValueMap will search for a width property in:

• /content/parent/page/jcr:content/footer/image/@width
• /content/parent/page/jcr:content/footer/@width
• /content/parent/page/jcr:content/@width

Having not found it in any of those locations, it will then return null.

Note that ComponentInheritanceValueMap searches only the component hierarchy. It will not (for instance), look in:

• /content/parent/jcr:content/footer/image/@width

See HierarchyNodeInheritanceValueMap for that functionality.

Constructor	Description
ComponentInheritanceValueMap(Resource resource)	Will wrap the ValueMap returned by resource.adaptTo(ValueMap.class), or use an empty map if resource is null or if it doesn't adapt to a ValueMap.
ComponentInheritanceValueMap(ValueMap map)	Use this if the underlying Resource for a ValueMap is not available and no inheritance is needed.

Constructor Detail

ComponentInheritanceValueMap

public ComponentInheritanceValueMap(Resource resource)

Will wrap the ValueMap returned by resource.adaptTo(ValueMap.class), or use an empty map if resource is null or if it doesn't adapt to a ValueMap. The inheritance is internally resolved by fetching the parent resource and wrapping it into an ComponentInheritanceValueMap as well.

Parameters:

resource - the resource to start from

ComponentInheritanceValueMap

public ComponentInheritanceValueMap(ValueMap map)

Use this if the underlying Resource for a ValueMap is not available and no inheritance is needed. Using the inheritance-enabled getter methods will behave exactly like the normal ValueMap getters.

Parameters:

map - a ValueMap to wrap

Method Detail

get

public <T> T get(String name,
                 Class<T> type)

Description copied from interface: ValueMap

Get a named property and convert it into the given type. This method does not support conversion into a primitive type or an array of a primitive type. It should return null in this case.

Specified by:

get in interface ValueMap

Overrides:

get in class ValueMapWrapper

Type Parameters:

T - The class of the type

Parameters:

name - The name of the property

type - The class of the type

Returns:

Return named value converted to type T or null if non existing or can't be converted.

getInherited

public <T> T getInherited(String name,
                          Class<T> type)

Description copied from interface: InheritanceValueMap

Get a named property and convert it into the given type, and take the properties of parent resources / pages into account, if the property is not found locally.

The exact inheritance mechanism depends on the implementation.

Specified by:

getInherited in interface InheritanceValueMap

Type Parameters:

T - type parameter

Parameters:

name - The name of the property

type - The class of the type

Returns:

Return named value converted to type T or null if non existing or can't be converted.

getInherited

public <T> T getInherited(String name,
                          T defaultValue)

Description copied from interface: InheritanceValueMap

Get a named property and convert it into the given type, and take the properties of parent resources / pages into account, if the property is not found locally.

The exact inheritance mechanism depends on the implementation.

Specified by:

getInherited in interface InheritanceValueMap

Type Parameters:

T - type parameter

Parameters:

name - The name of the property

defaultValue - The default value to use if the named property does not exist or cannot be converted to the requested type. The default value is also used to define the type to convert the value to. If this is null any existing property is not converted.

Returns:

Return named value converted to type T or the default value if non existing or can't be converted.
