public java.lang.Object getValue(java.lang.String attribute)

Description copied from interface: Node

Returns the value of the specified field as an object. For example a field of type int is returned as an Integer.

Specified by:

getValue in interface Node

Following copied from interface: org.mmbase.bridge.Node

Parameters:

fieldname - the name of the field to be returned

Returns:

the value of the specified field

getBooleanValue

public boolean getBooleanValue(java.lang.String attribute)

Description copied from interface: Node

Returns the value of the specified field as a boolean.

Specified by:

getBooleanValue in interface Node

Following copied from interface: org.mmbase.bridge.Node

Parameters:

fieldname - the name of the field to be returned

Returns:

the value of the specified field

getNodeValue

public Node getNodeValue(java.lang.String attribute)

Description copied from interface: Node

Returns the value of the specified field as a Node. If the value is not itself a Node, this call attempts to convert the original field value to a Node, by trying to retrieve a Node using the field value as a Node number or alias.
For instance, getNodeValue("destination"), when run on a OAlias object, returns the referenced destination node (instead of teh number, which is what it normally holds).
Mosty, this call is used in cluster nodes (nodes retrived by using the Cloud.getList method. A cluster node returns one of its compound nodes when an appropriate nodemanager name (name from the nodepath) is specified. I.e. getNodeValue("people") will return the people-node in the cluster. If this fails, the method returns null.
Notes: the behavior of getNodeValue when called on a field that is not intended to be a node reference is currently undefined and is not encouraged.
Calling this method with field "number" or null lets the Node return a reference to itself, regardless of the actual value of the number field or status of the Node.

Specified by:

getNodeValue in interface Node

Following copied from interface: org.mmbase.bridge.Node

Parameters:

fieldname - the name of the field to be returned

Returns:

the value of the specified field
