Class JcrHashUtil

  • public final class JcrHashUtil
extends Object
    Support of storing large flat data structures or lists of nodes in JCR. JSR-170 content repositories are designed for handling hierarchical data structures, and not for flat relational database style data. A consequence of this is that JCR implementations typically do not perform well when a node contains too many child nodes. This utility case provides support for storing large numbers of nodes under onder one parent node. This is simply achieved by maintaining a JCR friendly tree data structure / hash, to hold all of the child nodes. When declaring a node type that uses a node hashing for child nodes of a particular name, use the node type JcrHashUtil.WM_HASH_NAME. This child node definition should not be manditory or multiple. Note that child node order is not preserved for nodes stored in a hash.

        Create a new node at relPath Creates a new node at relPath relative to the given parent node, and manages all of the details of inserting the node into the hash structure.
        Parameters:
        parent - The node where the new node will be placed under.
        relPath - The relative path where the new node will be placed. This relative to the parent node, and should be of type JcrHashUtil.WM_HASH_NAME.
        primaryNodeTypeName - the type of node to create.
        Returns:
        the newly created node.
