Method Detail

checkout

@Auditable(parameters={"nodeRef","destinationParentNodeRef","destinationAssocTypeQName","destinationAssocQName"})
org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.NodeRef checkout(org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.NodeRef nodeRef,
                                                                                                                                                                       org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.NodeRef destinationParentNodeRef,
                                                                                                                                                                       org.alfresco.service.namespace.QName destinationAssocTypeQName,
                                                                                                                                                                       org.alfresco.service.namespace.QName destinationAssocQName)

Checks out the given node placing a working copy in the destination specified.

When a node is checked out a read-only lock is placed on the original node and a working copy is placed in the destination specified.

The copy aspect is applied to the working copy so that the original node can be identified.

The working copy aspect is applied to the working copy so that it can be identified as the working copy of a checked out node.

The working copy node reference is returned to the caller.

Parameters:

nodeRef - a reference to the node to checkout

destinationParentNodeRef - the destination node reference for the working copy

destinationAssocTypeQName - the destination child assoc type for the working copy

destinationAssocQName - the destination child assoc qualified name for the working copy

Returns:

node reference to the created working copy

checkout

@Auditable(parameters="nodeRef")
org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.NodeRef checkout(org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.NodeRef nodeRef)

Checks out the working copy of the node into the same parent node with the same child associations details.

Parameters:

nodeRef - a reference to the node to checkout

Returns:

a node reference to the created working copy

checkin

@Auditable(parameters={"workingCopyNodeRef","versionProperties","contentUrl","keepCheckedOut"})
org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.NodeRef checkin(org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.NodeRef workingCopyNodeRef,
                                                                                                                                                    Map<String,Serializable> versionProperties,
                                                                                                                                                    String contentUrl,
                                                                                                                                                    boolean keepCheckedOut)

Checks in the working node specified.

When a working copy is checked in the current state of the working copy is copied to the original node. This will include any content updated in the working node.

If versioning is not enabled on a node (the versionable aspect is not present on the node), the check in overwrites the existing node and releases the lock unless the keepCheckedOut flag is used. With versioning enabled on the node, a new version is always created.

If a content Url is provided it will be used to update the content of the working node before the checkin operation takes place.

Once the operation has completed the read lock applied to the original node during checkout will be removed and the working copy of the node deleted from the repository, unless the operation is instructed to keep the original node checked out. In which case the lock and the working copy will remain.

The node reference to the original node is returned.

Parameters:

workingCopyNodeRef - the working copy node reference

versionProperties - the version properties. If null is passed then the original node is NOT versioned during the checkin operation.

contentUrl - a content url that should be set on the working copy before the checkin operation takes place. If null then the current working copy content is copied back to the original node.

keepCheckedOut - indicates whether the node should remain checked out after the checkin has taken place. When the node remains checked out the working node reference remains the same.

Returns:

the node reference to the original node, updated with the checked in state

checkin

@Auditable(parameters={"workingCopyNodeRef","versionProperties","contentUrl"})
org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.NodeRef checkin(org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.NodeRef workingCopyNodeRef,
                                                                                                                                   Map<String,Serializable> versionProperties,
                                                                                                                                   String contentUrl)

By default the checked in node is not keep checked in.

Parameters:

workingCopyNodeRef - the working copy node reference

versionProperties - the version properties. If null is passed then the original node is NOT versioned during the checkin operation.

contentUrl - a content url that should be set on the working copy before the checkin operation takes place. If null then the current working copy content is copied back to the original node.

Returns:

the node reference to the original node, updated with the checked in state
