NamePathMapper

All Known Implementing Classes:

public interface PathMapper

PathMapper instances provide methods for mapping paths from their JCR string representation to their Oak representation and vice versa. The Oak representation of a path consists of a forward slash followed by the names of the respective items in the Tree separated by forward slashes.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
String	getJcrPath(String oakPath) Returns the JCR path for the given Oak path.
String	getOakPath(String jcrPath) Returns the Oak path for the given JCR path, or null if no such mapping exists because the given JCR path contains a name element with an unknown namespace URI or prefix, or is otherwise invalid.

Method Detail

getOakPath

String getOakPath(String jcrPath)

Returns the Oak path for the given JCR path, or null if no such mapping exists because the given JCR path contains a name element with an unknown namespace URI or prefix, or is otherwise invalid.

Parameters:

jcrPath - JCR path

Returns:

Oak path, or null

getJcrPath

String getJcrPath(String oakPath)

Returns the JCR path for the given Oak path. The given path is expected to have come from a valid Oak repository that contains only valid paths whose name elements only use proper namespace mappings. If that's not the case, either a programming error or a repository corruption has occurred and an appropriate unchecked exception gets thrown.

Parameters:

oakPath - Oak path

Returns:

JCR path
