Interface ReferenceManager

  • All Superinterfaces:
    java.util.EventListener, InternalModule, PageFilter, WikiEventListener
    All Known Implementing Classes:
    DefaultReferenceManager
    public interface ReferenceManager
extends PageFilter, InternalModule, WikiEventListener
    Keeps track of wikipage references:
    • What pages a given page refers to
    • What pages refer to a given page
    When a page is added or edited, its references are parsed, a Collection is received, and we crudely replace anything previous with this new Collection. We then check each referenced page name and make sure they know they are referred to by the new page.

    Based on this information, we can perform non-optimal searches for e.g. unreferenced pages, top ten lists, etc.

    The owning class must take responsibility of filling in any pre-existing information, probably by loading each and every WikiPage and calling this class to update the references when created.

      • scanWikiLinks

        java.util.Collection<java.lang.String> scanWikiLinks​(Page page,
                                                     java.lang.String pagedata)
        Reads a WikiPageful of data from a String and returns all links internal to this Wiki in a Collection.
        Parameters:
        page - The WikiPage to scan
        pagedata - The page contents
        Returns:
        a Collection of Strings

      • pageRemoved

        void pageRemoved​(Page page)
        Updates the m_referedTo and m_referredBy hashmaps when a page has been deleted.

        Within the m_refersTo map the pagename is a key. The whole key-value-set has to be removed to keep the map clean. Within the m_referredBy map the name is stored as a value. Since a key can have more than one value we have to delete just the key-value-pair referring page:deleted page.

        Parameters:
        page - Name of the page to remove from the maps.

      • updateReferences

        void updateReferences​(Page page)
        Updates all references for the given page.
        Parameters:
        page - wiki page for which references should be updated

      • updateReferences

        void updateReferences​(java.lang.String page,
                      java.util.Collection<java.lang.String> references)
        Updates the referred pages of a new or edited WikiPage. If a refersTo entry for this page already exists, it is removed and a new one is built from scratch. Also calls updateReferredBy() for each referenced page.

        This is the method to call when a new page has been created and we want to a) set up its references and b) notify the referred pages of the references. Use this method during run-time.

        Parameters:
        page - Name of the page to update.
        references - A Collection of Strings, each one pointing to a page this page references.

      • clearPageEntries

        void clearPageEntries​(java.lang.String pagename)
        Clears the references to a certain page so it's no longer in the map.
        Parameters:
        pagename - Name of the page to clear references for.

      • findUnreferenced

        java.util.Collection<java.lang.String> findUnreferenced()
        Finds all unreferenced pages. This requires a linear scan through m_referredBy to locate keys with null or empty values.
        Returns:
        The Collection of Strings

      • findUncreated

        java.util.Collection<java.lang.String> findUncreated()
        Finds all references to non-existant pages. This requires a linear scan through m_refersTo values; each value must have a corresponding key entry in the reference Maps, otherwise such a page has never been created.

        Returns a Collection containing Strings of unreferenced page names. Each non-existant page name is shown only once - we don't return information on who referred to it.

        Returns:
        A Collection of Strings

      • findReferrers

        java.util.Set<java.lang.String> findReferrers​(java.lang.String pagename)
        Find all pages that refer to this page. Returns null if the page does not exist or is not referenced at all, otherwise returns a collection containing page names (String) that refer to this one.

        Parameters:
        pagename - The page to find referrers for.
        Returns:
        A Set of Strings. May return null, if the page does not exist, or if it has no references.

      • findReferredBy

        java.util.Set<java.lang.String> findReferredBy​(java.lang.String pageName)
        Returns all pages that refer to this page. Note that this method returns an unmodifiable Map, which may be abruptly changed. So any access to any iterator may result in a ConcurrentModificationException.

        The advantages of using this method over findReferrers() is that it is very fast, as it does not create a new object. The disadvantages are that it does not do any mapping between plural names, and you may end up getting a ConcurrentModificationException.

        Parameters:
        pageName - Page name to query.
        Returns:
        A Set of Strings containing the names of all the pages that refer to this page. May return null, if the page does not exist or has not been indexed yet.
        Since:
        2.2.33

      • findRefersTo

        java.util.Collection<java.lang.String> findRefersTo​(java.lang.String pageName)
        Returns all pages that this page refers to. You can use this as a quick way of getting the links from a page, but note that it does not link any InterWiki, image, or external links. It does contain attachments, though.

        The Collection returned is unmutable, so you cannot change it. It does reflect the current status and thus is a live object. So, if you are using any kind of an iterator on it, be prepared for ConcurrentModificationExceptions.

        The returned value is a Collection, because a page may refer to another page multiple times.

        Parameters:
        pageName - Page name to query
        Returns:
        A Collection of Strings containing the names of the pages that this page refers to. May return null, if the page does not exist or has not been indexed yet.
        Since:
        2.2.33

      • findCreated

        java.util.Set<java.lang.String> findCreated()
        Returns a list of all pages that the ReferenceManager knows about. This should be roughly equivalent to PageManager.getAllPages(), but without the potential disk access overhead. Note that this method is not guaranteed to return a Set of really all pages (especially during startup), but it is very fast.
        Returns:
        A Set of all defined page names that ReferenceManager knows about.
        Since:
        2.3.24
