appendOrReplaceNodeProperty

public static void appendOrReplaceNodeProperty(javax.jcr.Node node,
                               String propertyName,
                               javax.jcr.Value newValue)
                                        throws javax.jcr.RepositoryException

Given a JCR node, property and value, either: - if the property is single-valued, replace the existing property with the new value - if the property is multivalued, append the new value to the property

Parameters:

node - the JCR node

propertyName - a name of a JCR property (either pre-existing or otherwise)

newValue - the JCR value to insert

Throws:

javax.jcr.RepositoryException

removeNodeProperty

public static void removeNodeProperty(javax.jcr.Node node,
                      String propertyName,
                      javax.jcr.Value valueToRemove)
                               throws javax.jcr.RepositoryException

Given a JCR node, property and value, remove the value (if it exists) from the property, and remove the property if no values remove

Parameters:

node - the JCR node

propertyName - a name of a JCR property (either pre-existing or otherwise)

valueToRemove - the JCR value to remove

Throws:

javax.jcr.RepositoryException

getPropertyType

public static int getPropertyType(javax.jcr.Node node,
                  String propertyName)
                           throws javax.jcr.RepositoryException

Get the JCR property type ID for a given property name. If unsure, mark it as UNDEFINED.

Parameters:

node - the JCR node to add the property on

propertyName - the property name

Returns:

a PropertyType value

Throws:

javax.jcr.RepositoryException

isMultivaluedProperty

public static boolean isMultivaluedProperty(javax.jcr.Node node,
                            String propertyName)
                                     throws javax.jcr.RepositoryException

Determine if a given JCR property name is single- or multi- valued. If unsure, choose the least restrictive option (multivalued)

Parameters:

node - the JCR node to check

propertyName - the property name (which may or may not already exist)

Returns:

true if the property is (or could be) multivalued
