Method Detail

getType

public int getType()

Returns PropertyType.PATH.

getString

public String getString()
                 throws ValueFormatException,
                        RepositoryException

Returns the string representation of the path value.

Throws:

ValueFormatException

RepositoryException

getStream

public final InputStream getStream()
                            throws RepositoryException

Returns the stream representation of this value. This method implements the deprecated JCR 1.0 behaviour of always returning the same stream instance. The stream is retrieved from a Binary instance returned by getBinary().

Returns:

stream representation of this value

Throws:

RepositoryException - if the stream can not be created

getBinary

public Binary getBinary()
                 throws RepositoryException

Returns the binary representation of this value. The default implementation uses the UTF-8 serialization of the string returned by #getString(). Subclasses

Throws:

RepositoryException

getBoolean

public boolean getBoolean()
                   throws ValueFormatException

Always throws a ValueFormatException. Implementations should overwrite if conversion to boolean is supported.

Returns:

nothing

Throws:

ValueFormatException - If the value cannot be converted to a boolean.

getDate

public Calendar getDate()
                 throws ValueFormatException

Always throws a ValueFormatException. Implementations should overwrite if conversion to Calender is supported.

Returns:

nothing

Throws:

ValueFormatException - If the value cannot be converted to a Calendar instance.

getDecimal

public BigDecimal getDecimal()
                      throws RepositoryException

Always throws a ValueFormatException. Implementations should overwrite if conversion to a BigDecimal is supported.

Returns:

nothing

Throws:

ValueFormatException - If the value cannot be converted to a BigDecimal.

RepositoryException

getDouble

public double getDouble()
                 throws ValueFormatException

Always throws a ValueFormatException. Implementations should overwrite if conversion to double is supported.

Returns:

nothing

Throws:

ValueFormatException - If the value cannot be converted to a double.

getLong

public long getLong()
             throws ValueFormatException

Always throws a ValueFormatException. Implementations should overwrite if conversion to long is supported.

Returns:

nothing

Throws:

ValueFormatException - If the value cannot be converted to a long.

equals

public boolean equals(Object object)

Compares values as defined in the JCR specification.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

object - value for comparison

Returns:

true if the values are equal, false otherwise

JCRRMI-16

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns a hash code that's in line with how the equals(Object) method is implemented.

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

Returns:

hash code of this value

toString

public String toString()

Returns a string representation of this value.

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

value string
