Class TypePredicateEvaluator

java.lang.Object

com.day.cq.search.eval.AbstractPredicateEvaluator

com.day.cq.search.eval.TypePredicateEvaluator

All Implemented Interfaces:

PredicateEvaluator

public class TypePredicateEvaluator
extends AbstractPredicateEvaluator

Restricts results to a specific JCR node type, both primary node type or mixin type. This will also find subtypes of that node type. Note that repository search indexes need to cover the node types for efficient execution.

Supports facet extraction. Will provide buckets for each unique type in the results.

Name:

type

Properties:

type

node type or mixin name to search for, for example cq:Page

TypePredicateEvaluator

public TypePredicateEvaluator()

Method Details

getXPathExpression

public String getXPathExpression(Predicate p,
 EvaluationContext context)

Description copied from class: AbstractPredicateEvaluator

Default implementation that always returns null, ie. adds nothing to the XPath query. Subclasses can choose whether they want to implement this method or use the AbstractPredicateEvaluator.includes(Predicate, Row, EvaluationContext) method for advanced filtering (or both).

Specified by:

getXPathExpression in interface PredicateEvaluator

Overrides:

getXPathExpression in class AbstractPredicateEvaluator

Parameters:

p - predicate (for this evaluator type) which is evaluated

context - helper class which provides access to various elements of the query evaluation

Returns:

string containing an XPath predicateEvaluator expression

includes

public boolean includes(Predicate p,
 Row row,
 EvaluationContext context)

Description copied from class: AbstractPredicateEvaluator

Default implementation that always returns true, ie. it does not "touch" the result set at all.

Specified by:

includes in interface PredicateEvaluator

Overrides:

includes in class AbstractPredicateEvaluator

Parameters:

p - predicate (for this evaluator type) which is evaluated

row - current row of the result set returned through the xpath query

context - helper class which provides access to various elements of the query evaluation

Returns:

true if this row should be part of the final result set, false if it should be dropped

getType

public static String getType(Predicate p,
 EvaluationContext context)

Returns and validates the type from the predicate. If it is not an existing node type, it will return null.

canXpath

public boolean canXpath(Predicate p,
 EvaluationContext context)

Description copied from class: AbstractPredicateEvaluator

Returns the inverted boolean value of the deprecated AbstractPredicateEvaluator.isFiltering(Predicate, EvaluationContext) method (ie. if not overridden, true).

Specified by:

canXpath in interface PredicateEvaluator

Overrides:

canXpath in class AbstractPredicateEvaluator

Parameters:

p - predicate (for this evaluator type) which is evaluated

context - helper class which provides access to various elements of the query evaluation

Returns:

true if this evaluator can express itself via xpath, ie. PredicateEvaluator.getXPathExpression(Predicate, EvaluationContext)

canFilter

public boolean canFilter(Predicate p,
 EvaluationContext context)

Description copied from class: AbstractPredicateEvaluator

Returns the same as the deprecated AbstractPredicateEvaluator.isFiltering(Predicate, EvaluationContext) method (ie. if not overridden, false).

Specified by:

canFilter in interface PredicateEvaluator

Overrides:

canFilter in class AbstractPredicateEvaluator

Parameters:

p - predicate (for this evaluator type) which is evaluated

context - helper class which provides access to various elements of the query evaluation

Returns:

true if this evaluator can be express itself via filtering, ie. PredicateEvaluator.includes(Predicate, Row, EvaluationContext)

getOrderByProperties

public String[] getOrderByProperties(Predicate p,
 EvaluationContext context)

Description copied from class: AbstractPredicateEvaluator

Default implementation that always returns null.

Specified by:

getOrderByProperties in interface PredicateEvaluator

Overrides:

getOrderByProperties in class AbstractPredicateEvaluator

Parameters:

p - predicate (for this evaluator type) which is evaluated

context - helper class which provides access to various elements of the query evaluation

Returns:

one or multiple relative paths to JCR properties or null

getFacetExtractor

public FacetExtractor getFacetExtractor(Predicate predicate,
 EvaluationContext context)

Description copied from class: AbstractPredicateEvaluator

Default implementation that always returns null, ie. no facets will be extracted for the predicate.

Specified by:

getFacetExtractor in interface PredicateEvaluator

Overrides:

getFacetExtractor in class AbstractPredicateEvaluator

Parameters:

predicate - predicate (for this evaluator type) which is evaluated

context - helper class which provides access to various elements of the query evaluation

Returns:

a FacetExtractor that is used to create a Facet or null if no extractor shall be provided
