Method Detail

getSupportObject

OwObject getSupportObject(String strName_p,
                          boolean forceUserspecificObject_p,
                          boolean createIfNotExist_p)
                          throws OwException

Returns the persistent application OwObject that is matched by the given name.

Parameters:

strName_p - name of the object to retrieve e.g. "userprefs"

forceUserspecificObject_p - if true, the object must be specific to the logged in user, otherwise the ECM Adapter determines if it is common to a site or specific to a group or a user.

createIfNotExist_p - if true the object will be created if it does not exist

Returns:

an application object stored as OwObject

Throws:

OwException - if the given object could not be retrieved

getSupportObjects

OwObject[] getSupportObjects(String strName_p,
                             boolean forceUserspecificObject_p,
                             boolean createIfNotExist_p)
                             throws OwException

Returns a collection of persistent application OwObjects that are matched by the given name.

Parameters:

strName_p - name of the objects to retrieve e.g. "userprefs"

forceUserspecificObject_p - if true, the object must be specific to the logged in user, otherwise the ECM Adapter determines if it is common to a site or specific to a group or a user.

createIfNotExist_p - if true the objects container will be created if it does not exist

Returns:

a collection object stored as OwObject. Some entries might be null if the implementation of this support allows it (usually null entries signal objects that could not be retrieved).

Throws:

OwException - if the given object could not be retrieved
