Retrieve immediate children references of a given reference where the child nodes are in the given inclusive list.

Parameters:

childNodeTypeQNames - the types that the children may be. Subtypes are not automatically calculated and the list must therefore be exhaustive.

Returns a list of ChildAssociationRef instances.

Parameters:

parentReference - the parent node - usually a container

typeQNamePattern - the qualified name of the association ( null to ignore)

qnamePattern - the path qualified name (null to ignore)

maxResults - the number of results to get

preload - true if the nodes must be preloaded into the cache

Returns:

Returns a list of ChildAssociationRef instances

Throws:

InvalidNodeRefException - if the node could not be found

getChildAssocsByPropertyValue

List<ChildAssociationRef> getChildAssocsByPropertyValue(Reference parentReference,
 QName propertyQName,
 Serializable value)

Retrieve the immediate children of a given node based on the value of a property of those children.

If the property to be searched is multi-valued then will match on any one values.

Please note, the following system maintained properties that cannot be used with this method.

• cm:name - use getChildByName instead
• cm:created
• cm:creator
• cm:modified
• cm:modifier
• sys:node-uuid
• sys:node-dbid
• sys:store-identifier
• sys:store-protocol

Parameters:

parentReference - the parent reference - usually a container

propertyQName - the fully qualified name of the property

value - the value to search for. Must be a simple type such as String, Number, Date or Boolean, it cannot be a collection, a content property, MLText or a float.

Returns:

Returns a list of ChildAssociationRef instances.

Parameters:

parent - the parent reference

assocTypeQName - the association type QName

Returns:

a Collection of child associations

List<Reference> list(Reference reference)
              throws VirtualizationException

Lists all immediate children of the referred virtualized artefact.
Note: this could be a long list (and will be trimmed at a pre-configured maximum). You should consider using a paging request.

Parameters:

Throws:

VirtualizationException

search

List<Reference> search(Reference reference,

 boolean fileSearch,
 boolean folderSearch,
 boolean includeSubFolders)
                throws VirtualizationException

Deprecated.

FileFolderService.search(NodeRef, String, boolean, boolean, boolean) alignment : for shallow search use list, listFolders, listFiles, searchSimple. For deep listing use listDeepFolders. Avoid calling this method with any name pattern except for "*".

Perform a search against the name of the files or folders within a virtualized artefact Reference hierarchy.
Wildcard characters are * and ?.
Warning: Please avoid using this method with any "namePattern" other than "*". Although it works, its performance is poor which is why this method is deprecated.

reference -

namePattern -

fileSearch -

folderSearch -

includeSubFolders -

Throws:

VirtualizationException
