Interface WikiAttachmentProvider

All Superinterfaces:
WikiProvider
All Known Implementing Classes:
BasicAttachmentProvider, CachingAttachmentProvider

public interface WikiAttachmentProvider
extends WikiProvider

Defines an attachment provider - a class which is capable of saving binary data as attachments.

The difference between this class and WikiPageProvider is that there PageProviders handle Unicode text, whereas we handle binary data. While there are quite a lot of similarities in how we handle things, many providers can really use just one. In addition, since binary files can be really large, we rely on Input/OutputStreams.

Method Detail

putAttachmentData

void putAttachmentData(Attachment att,
                       InputStream data)
                       throws ProviderException,
                              IOException
Put new attachment data.

Parameters:
att - Attachment object to add new data to
data - The stream from which the provider should read the data
Throws:
IOException - If writing fails
ProviderException - If there are other errors.

getAttachmentData

InputStream getAttachmentData(Attachment att)
                              throws ProviderException,
                                     IOException
Get attachment data.

Parameters:
att - The attachment
Returns:
An InputStream which you contains the raw data of the object. It's your responsibility to close it.
Throws:
ProviderException - If the attachment cannot be found
IOException - If the attachment cannot be opened

listAttachments

Collection listAttachments(WikiPage page)
                           throws ProviderException
Lists all attachments attached to a page.

Parameters:
page - The page to list the attachments from.
Returns:
A collection of Attachment objects. May be empty, but never null.
Throws:
ProviderException - If something goes wrong when listing the attachments.

findAttachments

Collection findAttachments(QueryItem[] query)
Finds attachments based on the query.

Parameters:
query - An array of QueryItem objects to search for
Returns:
A Collection of Attachment objects. May be empty, but never null.

listAllChanged

List listAllChanged(Date timestamp)
                    throws ProviderException
Lists changed attachments since given date. Can also be used to fetch a list of all pages.

This is different from WikiPageProvider, where you basically get a list of all pages, then sort them locally. However, since some providers can be more efficient in locating recently changed files (like any database) than our non-optimized Java code, it makes more sense to fetch the whole list this way.

To get all files, call this with Date(0L);

Parameters:
timestamp - List all files from this date onward.
Returns:
A List of Attachment objects, in most-recently-changed first order.
Throws:
ProviderException - If something goes wrong.

getAttachmentInfo

Attachment getAttachmentInfo(WikiPage page,
                             String name,
                             int version)
                             throws ProviderException
Returns info about an attachment.

Parameters:
page - The parent page
name - The name of the attachment
version - The version of the attachment (it's okay to use WikiPage.LATEST_VERSION to find the latest one)
Returns:
An attachment object
Throws:
ProviderException - If the attachment cannot be found or some other error occurs.

getVersionHistory

List getVersionHistory(Attachment att)
Returns version history. Each element should be an Attachment.

Parameters:
att - The attachment for which to find the version history for.
Returns:
A List of Attachment objects.

deleteVersion

void deleteVersion(Attachment att)
                   throws ProviderException
Removes a specific version from the repository. The implementations should really do no more security checks, since that is the domain of the AttachmentManager. Just delete it as efficiently as you can.

Parameters:
att - Attachment to be removed. The version field is checked, and thus only that version is removed.
Throws:
ProviderException - If the attachment cannot be removed for some reason.
Since:
2.0.19.

deleteAttachment

void deleteAttachment(Attachment att)
                      throws ProviderException
Removes an entire page from the repository. The implementations should really do no more security checks, since that is the domain of the AttachmentManager. Just delete it as efficiently as you can. You should also delete any auxiliary files and directories that belong to this attachment, IF they were created by this provider.

Parameters:
att - Attachment to delete.
Throws:
ProviderException - If the page could not be removed for some reason.
Since:
2.0.17.

moveAttachmentsForPage

void moveAttachmentsForPage(String oldParent,
                            String newParent)
                            throws ProviderException
Move all the attachments for a given page so that they are attached to a new page.

Parameters:
oldParent - Name of the page we are to move the attachments from.
newParent - Name of the page we are to move the attachments to.
Throws:
ProviderException - If the attachments could not be moved for some reason.
