Method Detail

getDocument

I_CmsXmlDocument getDocument()

Returns the XML content instance this value belongs to.

Returns:

the XML content instance this value belongs to

getElement

org.dom4j.Element getElement()

Returns the original XML element of this XML content value.

Returns:

the original XML element of this XML content value

getIndex

int getIndex()

Returns the node index of this XML content value in the source XML document, starting with 0, with special handling of elements in choice groups.

This is useful in case there are more than one elements with the same XML node name in the source XML document.

Elements in XML choice groups will share the same number space, so a choice sequence will be numbered like this: Title[1], Text[2], Title[3], Image[4]

Returns:

the index of this XML content node in the source document with special handling of elements in choice groups

See Also:

getXmlIndex()

getLocale

java.util.Locale getLocale()

Returns the locale of this XML content value was generated for.

Returns:

the locale of this XML content value was generated for

getMaxIndex

int getMaxIndex()

Returns the total number of XML elements of this type that currently exist in the source document.

Returns:

the total number of XML elements of this type that currently exist in the source document

getPath

java.lang.String getPath()

Returns the path of this XML content value in the source document.

Returns:

the path of this XML content value in the source document

getPlainText

java.lang.String getPlainText(CmsObject cms)

Returns the value of this XML content node as a plain text String.

Plain text in this context means a pure textual representation of the content (i.e. without html tags). The plain text may be null, too, if there is no sound or useful textual representation (i.e. color values).

Parameters:

cms - an initialized instance of a CmsObject

Returns:

the value of this XML content node as a plain text String

getStringValue

java.lang.String getStringValue(CmsObject cms)

Returns the value of this XML content node as a String.

Parameters:

cms - an initialized instance of a CmsObject

Returns:

the value of this XML content node as a String

getXmlIndex

int getXmlIndex()

Returns the node index of this XML content value in the source XML document, starting with 0, based on the XML ordering.

Elements in choice groups will be numbered like this: Title[1], Text[1], Title[2], Image[1]

Returns:

the index of this XML content node in the source document with special handling of elements in choice groups

See Also:

getIndex()

isSearchable

boolean isSearchable()

Returns true in case this value is searchable by default with the integrated full text search.

Returns:

true in case this value is searchable by default

moveDown

void moveDown()

Moves this XML content value one position down in the source document, if possible.

If the XML content value is already the first in it's sequence, it is not moved.

moveUp

void moveUp()

Moves this XML content value one position up in the source document, if possible.

If the XML content value is already the last in it's sequence, it is not moved.

setStringValue

void setStringValue(CmsObject cms,
                    java.lang.String value)

Sets the provided String as value of this XML content node.

This method does provide processing of the content based on the users current OpenCms context. This can be used e.g. for link extraction and replacement in the content.

Parameters:

cms - an initialized instance of a CmsObject

value - the value to set
