Interface Connectors.PathMappings

All Known Implementing Classes:

Connectors.AbstractPathMappings, Connectors.BasicPathMappings, Connectors.EmptyPathMappings

Enclosing class:

Connectors

@Immutable
public static interface Connectors.PathMappings

The immutable mappings between the (federated) repository nodes and the external nodes exposed by a connector that they project. This view of mappings will remain consistent, but may become out of date.

Connectors.getPathMappings(Connector)

Method Summary

String	getConnectorSourceName() Get the source name of the connector for which this mapping is defined.
PathFactory	getPathFactory() Get a path factory that can be used to create new paths.
Collection<WorkspaceAndPath>	resolveExternalPathToInternal(Path externalPath) Attempt to resolve the supplied external path (from the point of view of a connector) to the internal repository path(s) using the connector's projections at the time this object was obtained.

Method Detail

resolveExternalPathToInternal

Collection<WorkspaceAndPath> resolveExternalPathToInternal(Path externalPath)

Attempt to resolve the supplied external path (from the point of view of a connector) to the internal repository path(s) using the connector's projections at the time this object was obtained. This method returns an empty collection if the external node at the given path is not projected into the repository.

Parameters:

externalPath - the external path of a node in the tree of content exposed by the connector; this path is from the point of view of the connector.

Returns:

the resolved repository paths, each in the associated named workspaces, or an empty collection if this mapping projected the supplied external path

getPathFactory

PathFactory getPathFactory()

Get a path factory that can be used to create new paths.

Returns:

the path factory; never null

getConnectorSourceName

String getConnectorSourceName()

Get the source name of the connector for which this mapping is defined.

Returns:

the connector source name; never null
