Interface SiteArea

All Superinterfaces:

ContentComponentContainer, Document, Editable, SiteFrameworkContainer, WorkflowedDocument

public interface SiteArea
extends SiteFrameworkContainer

Represents a SiteArea object.

SiteArea objects are grouped by Site objects to form the Site Framework.

Like Site objects, SiteArea objects can specify a relationship between AuthoringTemplate and PresentationTemplate objects. However, any relationship specified in a SiteArea will override the relationship specified in a Site.

An important feature of SiteArea objects to note is the ability to add Content objects. Adding a Content to a SiteArea groups the Content and will determine where the Content lies in the Site Framework.

A SiteArea may be the child of a Site or another SiteArea. A SiteArea may also be the parent of another SiteArea. Passing a null argument to a method of this interface will result in a NullPointerException, unless stated otherwise.

hasContent

 boolean hasContent(DocumentId contentId)

Returns true if this SiteArea object has a direct child or link to Content with the given DocumentId.

Parameters:

contentId - the ID of the content

Returns:

true if this SiteArea object has a child with the given DocumentId; false otherwise.

hasDirectContent

 boolean hasDirectContent(DocumentId contentId)

Returns true if this SiteArea object has a direct child Content with the given DocumentId.

Parameters:

contentId - the ID of the content

Returns:

true if this SiteArea object has a child with the given DocumentId; false otherwise.

hasLinkedContent

 boolean hasLinkedContent(DocumentId contentId)

Returns true if this SiteArea object has a content link to the Content with the given DocumentId.

Parameters:

contentId - the ID of the content

Returns:

true if this SiteArea object has a content link to the given DocumentId; false otherwise.

addContent

 void addContent(DocumentId contentId)
                throws DuplicateChildException

Deprecated. use Workspace.createContent(authoringTemplateId, parentSiteId, siblingId, position) instead

Parameters:

contentId - the DocumentId of the Content to add

Throws:

DuplicateChildException - if a Content with the given DocumentId already exists as a child of this SiteArea

WCMIllegalStateException - if there's a problem retrieving the content document or creating a content link.

insertContent

 void insertContent(DocumentId priorChildId,
                   DocumentId contentId)
                   throws DuplicateChildException

Deprecated. use Workspace.createContent(authoringTemplateId, parentSiteId, siblingId, position) instead

Inserts the Content with a DocumentId specified by contentId as a child of this SiteArea after the Content with a DocumentId of priorChildId. If the specified Content already has a parent, a ContentLink will be created instead.

Parameters:

priorChildId - the DocumentId of the child Content to insert after

contentId - the DocumentId of the Content to add

Throws:

DuplicateChildException - if a Content with the given DocumentId already exists as a child of this SiteArea

WCMIllegalStateException - if there's a problem retrieving the content document or creating a content link.

removeContent

 void removeContent(DocumentId contentId)
                   throws DuplicateChildException

Deprecated. use Workspace.delete(DocumentId) instead.

The parent of this SiteArea may be a Site or another SiteArea.

This method will return null if the user does not have access to the parent of this SiteArea.

Returns:

getLinkedChildren

DocumentIdIterator getLinkedChildren()
                                     throws DocumentRetrievalException

Returns an iterator of DocumentId objects of the linked children of this container. The children are ContentLinks.

The user must have Read access to the ContentLink for it to be included in the returned iterator.

Returns:

an iterator of DocumentId objects of the immediate children of this SiteArea; or an empty iterator if no immediate children are found.

Throws:

DocumentRetrievalException - if there was a problem retrieving the linked children.
