BehaviourFilter (Alfresco 5.0.3 Public API)

Interface BehaviourFilter

public interface BehaviourFilter

Contract disabling and enabling policy behaviours.

Since 4.0, the behaviour enabling/disabling is recorded using reference counting, meaning that the outermost disable call in a stack has an effective veto. Use proper try-finally patterns to ensure behaviour is released after it is no longer needed.


 behaviourFilter.disableBehaviour(abc);
 try
 {
    behaviourFilter.disableBehaviour(abc);
    try
    {
       // Do something that might have triggered 'abc' but will not
    }
    finally
    {
        behaviourFilter.enableBehaviour(abc);
    }
    // Do something that might have triggered 'abc' but will not despite the last enable call
 }
 finally
 {
     behaviourFilter.enableBehaviour(abc);
 }

The change applies ONLY to the current transaction.

nodeRef - the node to enable for

Determine if behaviour is globally enabled.

The change applies ONLY to the current transaction.

true => behaviour is enabled
