Method Summary

Value	getDescriptorValue(String key) The value of a single-value descriptor is found by passing the key for that descriptor to this method.
Value[]	getDescriptorValues(String key) The value array of a multi-value descriptor is found by passing the key for that descriptor to this method.
boolean	isSingleValueDescriptor(String key) Returns true if key is a valid single-value descriptor; otherwise returns false.
boolean	isStandardDescriptor(String key) Returns true if key is a standard descriptor defined by the string constants in this interface and false if it is either a valid implementation-specific key or not a valid key.

Method Detail

isStandardDescriptor

boolean isStandardDescriptor(String key)

Returns true if key is a standard descriptor defined by the string constants in this interface and false if it is either a valid implementation-specific key or not a valid key.

Parameters:

key - a descriptor key.

Returns:

whether key is a standard descriptor.

Since:

JCR 2.0

isSingleValueDescriptor

boolean isSingleValueDescriptor(String key)

Returns true if key is a valid single-value descriptor; otherwise returns false.

Parameters:

key - a descriptor key.

Returns:

whether the specified desdfriptor is multi-valued.

Since:

JCR 2.0

getDescriptorValue

Value getDescriptorValue(String key)

The value of a single-value descriptor is found by passing the key for that descriptor to this method. If key is the key of a multi-value descriptor or not a valid key this method returns null.

Parameters:

key - a descriptor key.

Returns:

The value of the indicated descriptor

Since:

JCR 2.0

getDescriptorValues

Value[] getDescriptorValues(String key)

The value array of a multi-value descriptor is found by passing the key for that descriptor to this method. If key is the key of a single-value descriptor then this method returns that value as an array of size one. If key is not a valid key this method returns null.

Parameters:

key - a descriptor key.

Returns:

the value array for the indicated descriptor

Since:

JCR 2.0
