Field Summary

Fields inherited from interface org.apache.sling.api.resource.Resource

RESOURCE_TYPE_NON_EXISTING

Constructor Summary

SyntheticResource(ResourceResolver resourceResolver, ResourceMetadata rm, java.lang.String resourceType)
Creates a synthetic resource with the given ResourceMetadata and resourceType.

SyntheticResource(ResourceResolver resourceResolver, java.lang.String path, java.lang.String resourceType)
Creates a synthetic resource with the given path and resourceType.

Method Summary

<Type> Type	adaptTo(java.lang.Class<Type> type) Returns null because synthetic resources have no actual data and thus may not adapt to anything else.
java.lang.String	getPath() This resource's path - for now that could be a JCR path.
ResourceMetadata	getResourceMetadata() Returns a resource metadata object containing just the path of this resource as the ResourceMetadata.RESOLUTION_PATH property.
ResourceResolver	getResourceResolver() Returns the ResourceResolver with which this synthetic resource is related or null if none.
java.lang.String	getResourceSuperType() Synthetic resources by default do not have a resource super type.
java.lang.String	getResourceType() The resource type is meant to point to rendering/processing scripts, editing dialogs, etc.
protected void	setResourceType(java.lang.String resourceType)
java.lang.String	toString()

Constructor Detail

SyntheticResource

public SyntheticResource(ResourceResolver resourceResolver,
                         java.lang.String path,
                         java.lang.String resourceType)

Creates a synthetic resource with the given path and resourceType.

SyntheticResource

public SyntheticResource(ResourceResolver resourceResolver,
                         ResourceMetadata rm,
                         java.lang.String resourceType)

Creates a synthetic resource with the given ResourceMetadata and resourceType.

Method Detail

getPath

public java.lang.String getPath()

Description copied from interface: Resource

This resource's path - for now that could be a JCR path. It's also possible to have an URI for other data sources.

Specified by:

getPath in interface Resource

getResourceType

public 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 the Resource.RESOURCE_TYPE_NON_EXISTING.

Specified by:

getResourceType in interface Resource

setResourceType

protected void setResourceType(java.lang.String resourceType)

getResourceSuperType

public java.lang.String getResourceSuperType()

Synthetic resources by default do not have a resource super type.

Specified by:

getResourceSuperType in interface Resource

getResourceMetadata

public ResourceMetadata getResourceMetadata()

Returns a resource metadata object containing just the path of this resource as the ResourceMetadata.RESOLUTION_PATH property.

Specified by:

getResourceMetadata in interface Resource

See Also:

ResourceMetadata

getResourceResolver

public ResourceResolver getResourceResolver()

Returns the ResourceResolver with which this synthetic resource is related or null if none.

Specified by:

getResourceResolver in interface Resource

adaptTo

public <Type> Type adaptTo(java.lang.Class<Type> type)

Returns null because synthetic resources have no actual data and thus may not adapt to anything else.

Specified by:

adaptTo in interface Adaptable

Type Parameters:

Type - The generic type to which this resource is adapted to

Parameters:

type - The Class object of the target type, such as Node.class

Returns:

The adapter target or null if the resource cannot adapt to the requested type

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object
