Method Detail

convertNode

Object convertNode(NodeRef node)

Converts a NodeRef into the appropriate Node type.

Parameters:

node - NodeRef

Returns:

Object

convertNode

Object convertNode(NodeRef value,
                   boolean isMany)

Converts a NodeRef. The return type is dependent on the value of isMany. If true then a List of the appropriate Node type is returned. Otherwise a single instance of the appropriate Node type is returned.

Parameters:

value - NodeRef

isMany - boolean

Returns:

Object

convertNodes

List<? extends Object> convertNodes(Collection<NodeRef> values)

Converts a Collection of NodeRefs into a List of the appropriate Node type.

Returns:

List

convertNodes

Object convertNodes(Collection<NodeRef> values,
                    boolean isMany)

Converts a Collection of NodeRefs. The return type is dependent on the value of isMany. If true then a List of the appropriate Node type is returned. Otherwise a single instance of the appropriate Node type is returned.

Parameters:

isMany - boolean

Returns:

Object

convertNodes

Object convertNodes(Object value,
                    boolean isMany)

Converts a Collection of NodeRefs or a single NodeRef. The return type is dependent on the value of isMany. If true then a List of the appropriate Node type is returned. Otherwise a single instance of the appropriate Node type is returned.

Parameters:

value - Object

isMany - boolean

Returns:

Object

convertToNode

NodeRef convertToNode(Object toConvert)

Parameters:

toConvert - Object

Returns:

NodeRef

convertToNodes

List<NodeRef> convertToNodes(Collection<?> toConvert)

convertToNodes

List<NodeRef> convertToNodes(Object value)

isSupported

boolean isSupported(Object object)

convert

Serializable convert(Object object)

Converts the object to a NodeRef or a List of NodeRefs. The return type is dependant on the type of the object parameter. If the object parameter is a Collection then a List of NodeRefs is returned. Otherwise a single NodeRef is returned.

Parameters:

object - NodeRef

Returns:

Serializable
