Parameters:

server - the server (never null)

Returns:

the validated server, which should be used in all subsequent operations (never null)

Throws:

Exception - if there is a problem validating the server

publish

Status publish(Workspace workspace,
               String path,
               File file)

Publishes, or uploads, a local file to the workspace at the specified path. This method does not utilize any versioning, and is equivalent to calling "publish(workspace,path,file,false) ".

Parameters:

workspace - the workspace where the resource will be published (never null)

path - the unencoded path to the folder where the file will be published (never null)

file - the resource being published (never null)

Returns:

a status of the publishing operation outcome (never null)

publish

Status publish(Workspace workspace,
               String path,
               File file,
               boolean useVersioning)

Publishes, or uploads, a local file to the workspace at the specified path. This method allows the client to specify whether the uploaded file should be versioned. If so, this method will add the "mix:versionable" mixin to the "nt:file" node, and subsequent attempts to re-publish will result in new versions in the version history of the file. If no versioning is to be done, then no version history is maintained for the file, and subsequent attemps to re-publish will simply overwrite any existing content.

Parameters:

workspace - the workspace where the resource will be published (never null)

path - the unencoded path to the folder where the file will be published (never null)

file - the resource being published (never null)

useVersioning - true if the uploaded file should be versioned, or false if no JCR versioning be used

Returns:

a status of the publishing operation outcome (never null)

unpublish

Status unpublish(Workspace workspace,
                 String path,
                 File file)

Unpublishes, or deletes, the resource at the specified path in the workspace. If a file being unpublished is not found in the workspace an info status is returned.

Parameters:

workspace - the workspace where the resource will be unpublished (never null)

path - the unencoded path to the folder where the file is published (never null)

file - the file being unpublished (never null)

Returns:

a status of the unpublishing operation outcome (never null)

markAsPublishArea

Status markAsPublishArea(Workspace workspace,
                         String path,
                         String title,
                         String description)

Marks the last folder of the given path as a publish area, by adding the mode:publishArea mixin.

The path is made up of folder segments. If any folder segment does not exist, it will be created. The folder corresponding to the last path segment will become the publish area. If the last folder already is a publish area, the title and/or description will be updated.

Parameters:

workspace - the workspace where the operation will be performed (never null)

path - the unencoded path to the folder which will become the publish area (never null).

title - an optional String representing the title of the area (can be null)

description - an optional String representing the description of the area (can be null)

Returns:

the status of the operation (never null).

unmarkAsPublishArea

Status unmarkAsPublishArea(Workspace workspace,
                           String path)

Unmarks the last folder of the given path as a publish area, by removing the mode:publishArea mixin.

The path is made up of folder segments. If any folder segment does not exist, no changes will be performed If the last folder segment from the path is not a publish area, no changes will be performed.

Parameters:

workspace - the workspace where the operation will be performed (never null)

path - the unencoded path to the folder which will be cleared as a publish area (never null).

Returns:

the status of the operation (never null).
