Method Detail

getName

String getName()

Returns the repository's name.

addDirectlyReferencedRepository

void addDirectlyReferencedRepository(IRuntimeRepository repository)

Adds a repository this repository depends on because the one to add contains product data that is referenced from this repository. Access methods like getProductComponent(..) include all repositories this one depends on in their search.

Parameters:

repository - The repository to add.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if repository is null.

getDirectlyReferencedRepositories

List<IRuntimeRepository> getDirectlyReferencedRepositories()

Returns the runtime repositories this one directly depends on.

getAllReferencedRepositories

List<IRuntimeRepository> getAllReferencedRepositories()

Returns all repositories this one depends on directly or indirectly. The order is defined by a breadth first search starting with this repository's direct dependencies. Each repository is only included once even if it is referenced from two others. The list is computed lazy on the first request.

getProductComponent

IProductComponent getProductComponent(String id)

Returns the product component identified by the given id. Returns null if the id is null or no component with the indicated id can be found.

Note

How the product component id is structured, is defined as part of the ips project. The definition is called a product component naming (and identification) strategy. The standard strategy is to use the id of the product component kind followed by a separator followed by component's versionId. However it is possible to use completly different strategies for example to create numeric identifiers to reduce the size of indices in a datatbase. In the latter case the product component id can't be derived from the product component kind id and it's version id.

Parameters:

id - The id of the product component to find.

Returns:

The product component identified by the id or null.

getExistingProductComponent

IProductComponent getExistingProductComponent(String id)

Returns the product component identified by the given id. Same as getProductComponent(String id) but throws an exception if the product component is not found. This method never returns null.

Parameters:

id - The id of the product component to find.

Returns:

The product component identified by the id

Throws:

ProductCmptNotFoundException - if no product component with the given id exists.

See Also:

IRuntimeRepositoryLookup, ProductConfiguration

setRuntimeRepositoryLookup
