Class ValueConstraint

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.jackrabbit.core.nodetype.ValueConstraint

public abstract class ValueConstraint

extends Object

ValueConstraint and its subclasses are used to check the syntax of a value constraint and to test if a specific value satisfies it.

Field Summary

static ValueConstraint[]	EMPTY_ARRAY
protected static org.apache.log4j.Logger	log

Constructor Summary

protected

ValueConstraint(String definition)

Method Summary

static ValueConstraint	create(int type, String definition, NamespaceResolver nsResolver)
boolean	equals(Object other)
String	getDefinition() Returns the original (raw) definition of this constraint.
String	getDefinition(NamespaceResolver nsResolver) For constraints that are not namespace prefix mapping sensitive this method returns the same result as getDefinition().
int	hashCode() Returns zero to satisfy the Object equals/hashCode contract.

Method Detail

equals

public boolean equals(Object other)

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns zero to satisfy the Object equals/hashCode contract. This class is mutable and not meant to be used as a hash key.

Returns:

always zero

See Also:

Object.hashCode()

getDefinition

public String getDefinition()

Returns the original (raw) definition of this constraint.

Returns:

the original (raw) definition of this constraint.

getDefinition

public String getDefinition(NamespaceResolver nsResolver)

For constraints that are not namespace prefix mapping sensitive this method returns the same result as getDefinition().

Those that are namespace prefix mapping sensitive (e.g. NameConstraint, PathConstraint and ReferenceConstraint) use the given nsResolver to reflect the current mapping in the returned value.

Returns:

the definition of this constraint.

create

public static ValueConstraint create(int type,
                                     String definition,
                                     NamespaceResolver nsResolver)
                              throws InvalidConstraintException

Throws:

InvalidConstraintException
