Package org.apache.sling.api.resource

Class AbstractResource

java.lang.Object

org.apache.sling.api.adapter.SlingAdaptable

org.apache.sling.api.resource.AbstractResource

All Implemented Interfaces:

Adaptable, Resource

Direct Known Subclasses:

BaseResource, ContentFileResource, FileResource, ServletResource, SyntheticResource

public abstract class AbstractResource
extends SlingAdaptable
implements Resource

The AbstractResource is an abstract implementation of the Resource interface.

Implementations of the Resource interface are strongly encouraged to either extend from this class or the ResourceWrapper class instead of implementing the Resource from the ground up. This will ensure to always be able to support new methods that might be introduced in the Resource interface in the future.

Since:

2.1.0 (Sling API Bundle 2.1.0)

public AbstractResource()

Method Details

getName

public String getName()

Returns the name of this resource.

This method is implemented as a pure string operation by calling the ResourceUtil.getName(String) method with the path of this resource.

Specified by:

getName in interface Resource

Returns:

The resource name

getParent

public Resource getParent()

Returns the parent resource of this resource.

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

Specified by:

getParent in interface Resource

Returns:

The parent resource or null.

See Also:

• ResourceResolver.getParent(Resource)

getChild

public Resource getChild(String relPath)

Returns the indicated child of this resource.

This method is implemented calling the ResourceResolver.getResource(Resource, String) method. As such the relPath argument may even be an absolute path or a path containing relative path segments . (current resource) and .. (parent resource).

Implementations should not generally overwrite this method without calling this base class implementation.

Specified by:

getChild in interface Resource

Parameters:

relPath - relative path to the child resource

Returns:

The child resource or null

See Also:

• ResourceResolver.getResource(Resource, String)

listChildren

public Iterator<Resource> listChildren()

Returns an iterator on the direct child resources.

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

Implementations should not generally overwrite this method without calling this base class implementation.

Specified by:

listChildren in interface Resource

Returns:

An iterator for child resources.

See Also:

• ResourceResolver.listChildren(Resource)

getChildren

public Iterable<Resource> getChildren()

Description copied from interface: Resource

Returns an iterable of the direct children of this resource.

This method is a convenience and returns exactly the same resources as calling getResourceResolver().getChildren(resource).

Specified by:

getChildren in interface Resource

Returns:

An iterable for child resources

See Also:

• Resource.getChildren()

hasChildren

public boolean hasChildren()

Checks to see if there are direct children of this resource by invoking ResourceResolver.hasChildren(Resource).

Specified by:

hasChildren in interface Resource

Returns:

true if the resource has any child resources

isResourceType

public boolean isResourceType(String resourceType)

Returns true if this resource is of the given resource type or if any of the super resource types equals the given resource type.

This method delegates to ResourceResolver.isResourceType(Resource, String)

Specified by:

isResourceType in interface Resource

Parameters:

resourceType - the resource type to check this resource against

Returns:

true if the resource type or any of the resource's super type(s) equals the given resource type, false otherwise; false can also be returned if resourceType is null

See Also:

• ResourceResolver.isResourceType(Resource, String)

getValueMap

public ValueMap getValueMap()

This method calls Adaptable.adaptTo(Class) with the ValueMap class as an argument. If the adaptTo method returns a map, this map is returned. If the resource is not adaptable to a value map, next an adaption to Map is tried and if this is successful the map is wrapped as a value map. If the adaptions are not successful an empty value map is returned.

Specified by:

getValueMap in interface Resource

Returns:

A value map

• Resource.getValueMap()
