Method Detail

getNodeType

NodeType getNodeType(java.lang.String nodeTypeName)
              throws NoSuchNodeTypeException,
                     RepositoryException

Returns the named node type.

Throws a NoSuchNodeTypeException if a node type by that name does not exist.

Throws a RepositoryException if another error occurs.

Parameters:

nodeTypeName - the name of an existing node type.

Returns:

A NodeType object.

Throws:

NoSuchNodeTypeException - if no node type by the given name exists.

RepositoryException - if another error occurs.

getAllNodeTypes

NodeTypeIterator getAllNodeTypes()
                          throws RepositoryException

Returns an iterator over all available node types (primary and mixin).

Returns:

An NodeTypeIterator.

Throws:

RepositoryException - if an error occurs.

getPrimaryNodeTypes

NodeTypeIterator getPrimaryNodeTypes()
                              throws RepositoryException

Returns an iterator over all available primary node types.

Returns:

An NodeTypeIterator.

Throws:

RepositoryException - if an error occurs.

getMixinNodeTypes

NodeTypeIterator getMixinNodeTypes()
                            throws RepositoryException

Returns an iterator over all available mixin node types. If none are available, an empty iterator is returned.

Returns:

An NodeTypeIterator.

Throws:

RepositoryException - if an error occurs.
