                        String fields,
                        String constraints,
                        String orderby,
                        String directions,
                        String searchDir,
                        boolean distinct)

Description copied from interface: Cloud

Returns a list of virtual nodes that are composed by fields of other nodes. Starting at one or more specified nodes traversals are made according to a specified path. One traversal makes up one virtual node. All possible traversals that can be made starting at one or more nodes of the same type and following a specified path are stored in the returned list. Suppose we have defined the following:

 - A node manager recordcompany containing a field name.
 - A node manager artist containing a field name.
 - A node manager url containing a field description and url.
 - A relation type related between recordcompany and artist.
 - A relation type related between artist and url.
 - A relation type homepagerel between artist and url.
 

If node 100 has a node manager called recordcompany we can do the following to get a list of the record company's artists and all urls belonging to these artist (including nodes found through the related relation and the homepagerel relation):

 getList("100", "recordcompany,artist,url",
         "artist.name,description,url", null, null, null, null, true);
 

This call returns a list of virtual nodes with the fields artist.name, description and url for every valid traversal.

If we only want to list homepage urls of the artists we do:

 getList("100", "recordcompany,artist,url",
         "artist.name,description,homepagerel,url", null, null, null,
         null, true);
 

If we want to list all url's except the the homepage urls we do:

 getList("100", "recordcompany,artist,url",
         "artist.name,description,related,url", null, null, null, null, true);
 

If node 200 also has a node manager with name recordcompany we can get the info from their artist together with the info of the artist from the first company by also putting number 200 in the first parameter:

 getList("100,200", "recordcompany,artist,url",
         "artist.name,description,related,url", null, null, null, null, true);
 

For more information about the constraints parameter consult NodeManager.getList(String constraints, String orderby, String directions).

Specified by:

getList in interface Cloud

Parameters:

startNodes - A comma separated list of node numbers that should be used as a starting point for all traversals or null if all nodes of the first node manager in nodePath should be used.

nodePath - A comma separated list of node manager names which specifies the path that should be followed. It is possible to explicitly specify a relation manager that should be used to go from one node to an other. If no relation manager is specified between two nodes, all possible relation managers that can be used to go to the next specified node in the path are followed.

fields - A comma separated list of field names that will make up the returned virtual nodes. A fieldname can be prefixed with the original node manager name of the field and a dot in cases where more than one node manager in the path has a field with the same name.

constraints - Constraints to prevent nodes from being included in the resulting list which would normally by included or null if no constraints should be applied.

orderby - A comma separated list of field names on which the returned list should be sorted or null if the order of the returned virtual nodes doesn't matter.

directions - A comma separated list of values indicating wether to sort up (ascending) or down (descending) on the corresponding field in the orderby parameter or null if sorting on all fields should be up. The value DOWN (case insensitive) indicates that sorting on the corresponding field should be down, all other values (including the empty value) indicate that sorting on the corresponding field should be up. If the number of values found in this parameter are less than the number of fields in the orderby parameter, all fields that don't have a corresponding direction value are sorted according to the last specified direction value.

searchDir - Determines how directionality affects the search. This is a string with the following possible values:
"both", which is the default, searches for all valid relations through a path, checking full directionality of relations where appropriate. "destination" searches for only those relations in a path where valid relations exist from source to destination, in the order of the nodemanagers given in the nodePath. "source" searches for only those relations in a path where valid relations exist from destination to source, in the order of the nodemanagers given in the nodePath. "all" searches all existing relations, and does not check on directionality. A value of null or any other values than those listed above are ignored. In that case, search is treated as if the default ("both") was specified.

distinct - true if nodes who allready exist in the list should not be added to the list. false if all nodes should be added to the list even if a node with exactly the same field values is allready present.

Returns:

a list of virtual nodes
