PARAM_DESTINATION_NODE

public static final String PARAM_DESTINATION_NODE

This optional NodeRef parameter specifies an existing NodeRef to use as the rendition node. Properties on this node (including the content property cm:content) will be updated as required but the location and name of the node will not change. This parameter takes precedence over PARAM_DESTINATION_PATH_TEMPLATE.

PARAM_DESTINATION_PATH_TEMPLATE

public static final String PARAM_DESTINATION_PATH_TEMPLATE

This optional String parameter indicates where the rendition will be created. The parameter may specify either the actual file path to the rendition or it may specify a Freemarker template which can be resolved to a file path. In either case the path is relative to the root node of the store in which the source node exists. If the parameter PARAM_DESTINATION_NODE has been set then this parameter will be ignored.

PARAM_IS_COMPONENT_RENDITION

public static final String PARAM_IS_COMPONENT_RENDITION

This optional boolean parameter specified whether the rendition is a component within a composite rendition. Such component renditions should not execute the standard pre- and post-rendition behaviour as it will be taken care of by the CompositeRenderingEngine's execution.

PARAM_ORPHAN_EXISTING_RENDITION

public static final String PARAM_ORPHAN_EXISTING_RENDITION

This optional Boolean flag parameter determines whether an existing rendition is moved or orphaned. If the source node already has a rendition and this parameter is false the old rendition will be moved to the new destination location and updated appropriately. If this parameter is set to true then the old rendition will be left in its current location and the rold rendition association from the source node to the old rendition will be deleted.

PARAM_RENDITION_NODETYPE

public static final String PARAM_RENDITION_NODETYPE

This optional QName parameter specifies what the node type of the created rendition will be. If no type is specified then this defaults to cm:content.

getRenderingEngineDefinition

@NotAuditable

@NotAuditable
ChildAssociationRef render(NodeRef sourceNode,
QName renditionDefinitionQName)

This method synchronously renders content as specified by the given rendition name. The content to be rendered is provided by the specified source node.

The Rendition Definition will be loaded from the standard location as system thus allowing rendition definitions to be used even when the Data Dictionary has restricted read access.

QName renditionDefinitionQName,
org.alfresco.service.cmr.rendition.RenderCallback callback)

This method asynchronously renders content as specified by the given rendition definition name. The content to be rendered is provided by the specified source node.

The Rendition Definition will be loaded from the standard location as system thus allowing rendition definitions to be used even when the Data Dictionary has restricted read access.
