public class VirtualNodeManager

extends BasicNodeManager

This class represents a virtual node type information object. It has the same functionality as BasicNodeType, but it's nodes are vitrtual - that is, constructed based on the results of a search over multiple node managers. As such, it is not possible to search on this node type, nor to create new nodes. It's sole function is to provide a type definition for the results of a search.

Method Detail

init

protected void init()

Initializes the node. Sets nodemanager to typedef, and creates a virtual node for this manager.

Overrides:

init in class BasicNode

initManager

protected void initManager()

Initializes the NodeManager

Overrides:

initManager in class BasicNodeManager

createNode

public Node createNode()

Gets a new (initialized) node. Throws an exception since this type is virtual, and creating nodes is not allowed.

Overrides:

createNode in class BasicNodeManager

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

Returns:

the new Node

getList

public NodeList getList(java.lang.String where,
                        java.lang.String sorted,
                        boolean direction)

Search nodes of this type. Throws an exception since this type is virtual, and searching is not allowed.
