All Implemented Interfaces:

Adaptable, Resource

public final class NonExistingResource
extends SyntheticResource

Simple helper class representing nonexisting resources. This is an utility class to create non existing resources. It is not meant to be used to check if a resource is a non existing resource. Use the ResourceUtil.isNonExistingResource(Resource) method instead (or check the resource type yourself). The reason for this is that this resource might be wrapped by other resource implementations like resource decorators etc.

public NonExistingResource(ResourceResolver resourceResolver,
                           java.lang.String resourceURI)

Method Detail

getResourceType

@Nonnull
public final java.lang.String getResourceType()

Description copied from interface: Resource

The resource type is meant to point to rendering/processing scripts, editing dialogs, etc. It is usually a path in the repository, where scripts and other tools definitions are found, but the ResourceResolver is free to set this to any suitable value such as the primary node type of the JCR node from which the resource is created.

If the resource instance represents a resource which is not actually existing, this method returns Resource.RESOURCE_TYPE_NON_EXISTING.

Specified by:

getResourceType in interface Resource

Overrides:

getResourceType in class SyntheticResource

Returns:

The resource type

See Also:

SyntheticResource.getResourceType()

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class SyntheticResource

getParent

public Resource getParent()

Description copied from class: AbstractResource

Returns the parent resource of this resource.

This method is implemented calling the ResourceResolver.getParent(Resource) method.

Specified by:

getParent in interface Resource

Overrides:

getParent in class AbstractResource

Returns:

the parent resource (might be a NonExistingResource in case the parent does not exist either).

ResourceResolver.getParent(Resource)
