Method Detail

initialize

void initialize(Document doc)
                throws LifeCycleException

Initializes the life cycle for the given document.

Document state will be set to the life cycle initial state.

Parameters:

doc - the document instance

Throws:

LifeCycleException

initialize

void initialize(Document doc,
              String initialStateName)
                throws LifeCycleException

Initializes the life cycle for the given document.

Tries to set given state on document, if it's a valid initial state.

Parameters:

doc - the document instance

initialStateName - the initial state name

Throws:

LifeCycleException

followTransition

void followTransition(Document doc,
                    String transitionName)
                      throws LifeCycleException

Follows a given transition.

Parameters:

doc - the Document instance

transitionName - the transition name

Throws:

LifeCycleException

getLifeCycleByName

LifeCycle getLifeCycleByName(String name)

Returns a life cycle given its name.

Parameters:

name - the life cycle's name

Returns:

a life cycle descriptor instance or null if not found.

getLifeCycles

Collection<LifeCycle> getLifeCycles()

Returns all the registered life cycles.

Returns:

a collection of lifecycle descriptors

getTypesFor

Collection<String> getTypesFor(String lifeCycleName)

Returns the types which follow a given life cycle.

Parameters:

lifeCycleName - a string holding the name of the life cycle

Returns:

a collection of type names as strings

getLifeCycleNameFor

String getLifeCycleNameFor(String typeName)

Returns the lifecycle name that the given type follows.

Parameters:

typeName - the type's name

Returns:

the life cycle name

getNonRecursiveTransitionForDocType

List<String> getNonRecursiveTransitionForDocType(String docTypeName)

Returns a list of transition for which, when a it is followed, it should no recurse in its children. The BulkLifeCycleChangeListener will listen to the transition taken event and call a follow transition on the children of the document if the document is folderish. It check this list of transition to find out if it should recurse.

Parameters:

docTypeName - The doc type

Returns:

a list of transition name

BulkLifeCycleChangeListener

getTypesMapping

Map<String,String> getTypesMapping()

Returns the mapping from types to life cycle names.

Returns:

a mapping from types to life cycle names

getLifeCycleFor

LifeCycle getLifeCycleFor(Document doc)

Returns the life cycle a given document follows.

Parameters:

doc - the document instance

Returns:

the life cycle instance

reinitLifeCycle

void reinitLifeCycle(Document doc)
                     throws LifeCycleException

Sets the current state to the initial state as defined by the associated lifecycle.

Parameters:

doc -

Throws:

LifeCycleException
