Method Detail

getEntry

DocumentModel getEntry(String id)

Retrieves a directory entry using its id.

TODO what happens when the entry is not found? return null if not found?

Parameters:

id - the entry id

Returns:

a DocumentModel representing the entry

getEntry

DocumentModel getEntry(String id,
                       boolean fetchReferences)

Retrieves a directory entry using its id.

Parameters:

id - the entry id

fetchReferences - boolean stating if references have to be fetched

Returns:

a DocumentModel representing the entry

getEntries

@Deprecated
DocumentModelList getEntries()

Deprecated. since 6.0 Use query method instead with parameters

Retrieves all the entries in the directory. If the remote server issues a size limit exceeded error while sending partial results up to that limit, the method DocumentModelList#totalsize on the returned list will return -2 as a special marker for truncated results.

Returns:

a collection with all the entries in the directory

Throws:

SizeLimitExceededException - if the number of results is larger than the limit configured for the directory and the server does not send partial results.

createEntry

DocumentModel createEntry(Map<String,Object> fieldMap)

Creates an entry in a directory.

Parameters:

fieldMap - A map with keys and values that should be stored in a directory

Note: The values in the map should be of type String

Returns:

The new entry created in the directory

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - if the directory does not allow the creation of new entries

updateEntry

void updateEntry(DocumentModel docModel)

Updates a directory entry.

Parameters:

docModel - The entry to update

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - if the directory does not support entry updating

deleteEntry

void deleteEntry(DocumentModel docModel)

Deletes a directory entry.

Parameters:

docModel - The entry to delete

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - if the directory does not support entry deleting

deleteEntry

void deleteEntry(String id)

Deletes a directory entry by id.

Parameters:

id - the id of the entry to delete

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - if the directory does not support entry deleting

deleteEntry

@Deprecated
void deleteEntry(String id,
                             Map<String,String> map)

Deprecated. since 9.2 (unused), use deleteEntry(String) instead.

Deletes a directory entry by id and secondary ids.

This is used for hierarchical vocabularies, where the actual unique key is the couple (parent, id).

Parameters:

id - the id of the entry to delete.

map - a map of secondary key values.

query

DocumentModelList query(Map<String,Serializable> filter)

Executes a simple query. The conditions will be 'AND'-ed. Search is done with exact match.

Does not fetch reference fields.

If the remote server issues a size limit exceeded error while sending partial results up to that limit, the method DocumentModelList#totalsize on the returned list will return -2 as a special marker for truncated results.

Parameters:

filter - a filter to apply to entries in directory

Returns:

a list of document models containing the entries matched by the query

Throws:

SizeLimitExceededException - if the number of results is larger than the limit configured for the directory and the server does not send partial results.

query

DocumentModelList query(Map<String,Serializable> filter,
                        Set<String> fulltext)

Executes a simple query. The conditions will be 'AND'-ed.

fieldNames present in the fulltext set are treated as a fulltext match. Does not fetch reference fields.

If the remote server issues a size limit exceeded error while sending partial results up to that limit, the method DocumentModelList#totalsize on the returned list will return -2 as a special marker for truncated results.

Parameters:

filter - a filter to apply to entries in directory

fulltext - a set of field that should be treated as a fulltext search

Returns:

a list of document models containing the entries matched by the query

Throws:

SizeLimitExceededException - if the number of results is larger than the limit configured for the directory and the server does not send partial results.

query

DocumentModelList query(Map<String,Serializable> filter,
                        Set<String> fulltext,
                        Map<String,String> orderBy)

Executes a simple query. The conditions will be 'AND'-ed and the result will be sorted by the orderBy criteria list.

fieldNames present in the fulltext set are treated as a fulltext match. Does not fetch reference fields.

If the remote server issues a size limit exceeded error while sending partial results up to that limit, the method DocumentModelList#totalsize on the returned list will return -2 as a special marker for truncated results.

Parameters:

filter - a filter to apply to entries in directory

orderBy - a LinkedHashMap with the 'order by' criterias.The key of an entry of this map represents the column name and the value of the same entry represent the column order,which may be 'asc' or 'desc'.

fulltext - a set of field that should be treated as a fulltext search

Returns:

a list of document models containing the entries matched by the query

Throws:

SizeLimitExceededException - if the number of results is larger than the limit configured for the directory and the server does not send partial results.

                        boolean fetchReferences)
