If the node has not been versioned then null is returned.

If the node referenced does not or can not have the version aspect applied to it then an exception will be raised.

Parameters:

Returns:

the version history information

Throws:

AspectMissingException - thrown if the version aspect is missing

getCurrentVersion

@Auditable(parameters="nodeRef")
Version getCurrentVersion(NodeRef nodeRef)

Gets the version object for the current version of the node reference passed.

Returns null if the node is not versionable or has not been versioned.

Parameters:

nodeRef - the node reference

Returns:

the version object for the current version

revert

@Auditable(parameters="nodeRef")
void revert(NodeRef nodeRef)

Revert the state of the node to the current version.

The node reference will be reverted to the current version.

A deep revert will be performed.

Parameters:

nodeRef - the node reference

See Also:

revert(NodeRef, Version, boolean)

revert

@Auditable(parameters={
  "nodeRef",
  "deep"
})
void revert(NodeRef nodeRef,
            boolean deep)

Revert the state of the node to the current version.

The node will be reverted to the current version.

Parameters:

nodeRef - the node reference

deep - true if a deep revert is to be performed, false otherwise

See Also:

revert(NodeRef, Version, boolean)

revert

@Auditable(parameters={
  "nodeRef",
  "version"
})
void revert(NodeRef nodeRef,
            Version version)

Revert the state of the node to the specified version.

A deep revert will take place by default.

Parameters:

nodeRef - the node reference

version - the version to revert to

See Also:

revert(NodeRef, Version, boolean)

revert

@Auditable(parameters={
  "nodeRef",
  "version",
  "deep"
})
void revert(NodeRef nodeRef,
            Version version,
            boolean deep)

Revert the state of the node to the specified version.

Any changes made to the node will be lost and the state of the node will reflect that of the version specified.

The version label property on the node reference will remain unchanged.

If the node is further versioned then the new version will be created at the head of the version history graph. A branch will not be created.

If a deep revert is to be performed then any child nodes that are no longer present will be deep restored (if appropriate) otherwise child associations to deleted, versioned nodes will not be restored.

Parameters:

nodeRef - the node reference

version - the version to revert to

deep - true is a deep revert is to be performed, false otherwise.

restore

@Auditable(parameters={
  "nodeRef",
  "parentNodeRef",
  "assocTypeQName",
  "assocQName"
})
NodeRef restore(NodeRef nodeRef,
                NodeRef parentNodeRef,
                QName assocTypeQName,
                QName assocQName)

By default a deep restore is performed.

Parameters:

nodeRef - the node reference to a node that no longer exists in the store

parentNodeRef - the new parent of the restored node

assocTypeQName - the assoc type qname

assocQName - the assoc qname

Returns:

the newly restored node reference

restore

@Auditable(parameters={
  "nodeRef",
  "parentNodeRef",
  "assocTypeQName",
  "assocQName",
  "deep"
})
NodeRef restore(NodeRef nodeRef,
                NodeRef parentNodeRef,
                QName assocTypeQName,
                QName assocQName,
                boolean deep)

Restores a node not currently present in the store, but that has a version history.

The restored node will be at the head (most resent version).

Restoration will fail if there is no version history for the specified node id in the specified store.

If the node already exists in the store then an exception will be raised.

Once the node is restored it is reverted to the head version in the appropriate version history tree. If deep is set to true then this will be a deep revert, false otherwise.

Parameters:

nodeRef - the node reference to a node that no longer exists in the store

parentNodeRef - the new parent of the restored node

assocTypeQName - the assoc type qname

assocQName - the assoc qname

deep - true is a deep revert should be performed once the node has been restored, false otherwise

Returns:

the newly restored node reference

deleteVersionHistory

@Auditable(parameters="nodeRef")
void deleteVersionHistory(NodeRef nodeRef)
throws AspectMissingException

Delete the version history associated with a node reference.

This operation is permanent, all versions in the version history are deleted and cannot be retrieved.

The current version label for the node reference is reset and any subsequent versions of the node will result in a new version history being created.

Parameters:

nodeRef - the node reference

Throws:

AspectMissingException - thrown if the version aspect is missing

deleteVersion

@Auditable(parameters={
  "nodeRef",
  "version"
})
void deleteVersion(NodeRef nodeRef,
                   Version version)

Delete a specific version associated with a node reference.

This operation is permanent, the specific version in the version history is deleted and cannot be retrieved.

If this is the last version, then the current version label for the node reference is reset and any subsequent versions of the node will result in a new version history being created.

Parameters:

nodeRef - the node reference

version - the version to delete

ensureVersioningEnabled

@Auditable(parameters="nodeRef")
void ensureVersioningEnabled(NodeRef nodeRef,
Map<QName,Serializable> versionProperties)

Ensures that a node has the versionable aspect applied to it, and has at least an initial entry in the version store. If any of these requirements are missing, then they will be fixed.

Parameters:

nodeRef - the node reference

versionProperties - the version properties to apply if versioning isn't currently enabled for the node

registerVersionLabelPolicy

void registerVersionLabelPolicy(QName typeQName,
org.alfresco.repo.version.VersionServicePolicies.CalculateVersionLabelPolicy policy)

Parameters:

typeQName - the QName of the type to register

policy - the policy to register for the specified type
