@AlfrescoPublicApi
public abstract class AbstractContentStore
extends Object
implements org.alfresco.repo.content.ContentStore

Base class providing support for different types of content stores.

Since content URLs have to be consistent across all stores for reasons of replication and backup, the most important functionality provided is the generation of new content URLs and the checking of existing URLs.

Implementations must override either of the getWriter methods; getWriter(ContentContext) or getWriterInternal(ContentReader, String).

AbstractContentStore

public AbstractContentStore()

Method Detail

isValidContentUrl

public static final boolean isValidContentUrl(String contentUrl)

Checks that the content conforms to the format protocol://identifier as specified in the contract of the ContentStore interface.

Parameters:

contentUrl - the content URL to check

Returns:

Returns true if the content URL is valid

Since:

2.1

setContentLimitProvider

public void setContentLimitProvider(ContentLimitProvider contentLimitProvider)

An object that prevents abuse of the underlying store(s)

getContentUrlParts

protected org.alfresco.util.Pair<String,String> getContentUrlParts(String contentUrl)

Splits the content URL into its component parts as separated by protocol delimiter.

Parameters:

contentUrl - the content URL to split

Returns:

Returns the protocol and identifier portions of the content URL, both of which will not be null

Throws:

UnsupportedContentUrlException - if the content URL is invalid

Since:

2.1

isContentUrlSupported

public boolean isContentUrlSupported(String contentUrl)

Override this method to supply a efficient and direct check of the URL supplied. The default implementation checks whether ContentStore.getReader(String) throws the UnsupportedContentUrlException exception.

Specified by:

isContentUrlSupported in interface org.alfresco.repo.content.ContentStore

Since:

2.1

delete

public boolean delete(String contentUrl)

Override if the derived class supports the operation.

Specified by:

delete in interface org.alfresco.repo.content.ContentStore

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - always

Since:

2.1

getWriterInternal

protected org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.ContentWriter getWriterInternal(org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.ContentReader existingContentReader,
                                                                              String newContentUrl)

Implement to supply a store-specific writer for the given existing content and optional target content URL.

Parameters:

existingContentReader - a reader onto any content to initialize the new writer with

newContentUrl - an optional target for the new content

Throws:

UnsupportedContentUrlException - if the content URL supplied is not supported by the store

ContentExistsException - if the content URL is already in use

org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.ContentIOException - if an IO error occurs

Since:

2.1

getWriter

public org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.ContentWriter getWriter(org.alfresco.repo.content.ContentContext context)

An implementation that does some sanity checking before requesting a writer from the store. If this method is not overridden, then an implementation of getWriterInternal(ContentReader, String) must be supplied.

Specified by:

getWriter in interface org.alfresco.repo.content.ContentStore

Since:

2.1

See Also:

getWriterInternal(ContentReader, String)

exists

public boolean exists(String contentUrl)

Simple implementation that uses the reader's exists method as its implementation. Override this method if a more efficient implementation is possible.

Specified by:

exists in interface org.alfresco.repo.content.ContentStore

getSpaceFree

public long getSpaceFree()

Specified by:

getSpaceFree in interface org.alfresco.repo.content.ContentStore

Returns:

Returns -1 always

getSpaceTotal

public long getSpaceTotal()

Specified by:

getSpaceTotal in interface org.alfresco.repo.content.ContentStore

Returns:

Returns -1 always

getRootLocation

public String getRootLocation()

Specified by:

getRootLocation in interface org.alfresco.repo.content.ContentStore

Returns:

Returns a '.' (period) always
