Method Detail

findContentItemById

ContentItem findContentItemById(Long id)

Returns the ContentItem that has the given id

Parameters:

id -

Returns:

the ContentItem

saveContentItem

ContentItem saveContentItem(ContentItem contentItem)

Saves a ContentItem and returns the saved version

Parameters:

contentItem -

Returns:

the saved ContentItem

findOverrideContentItemByContentItemId

OverrideContentItem findOverrideContentItemByContentItemId(Long contentItemId)

Returns the appropriate OverrideContentItem for the given ContentItem id

Parameters:

contentItemId -

Returns:

the OverrideContentItem

readOverrideContentItemById

OverrideContentItem readOverrideContentItemById(Long id)

Returns the OverrideContentItem that has the given id

Parameters:

id -

Returns:

the OverrideContentItem

generateContentItemByOverrideContentItem

ContentItem generateContentItemByOverrideContentItem(OverrideContentItem overrideContentItem)

Creates a transient ContentItem that takes into consideration the overrides present in the given OverrideContentItem. This method will iterate through the OverrideSCItems in the override content item and generate a content item that has the overrides in place. This method is used to allow downstream code to only think about rendering a content item and not have to worry about handling things differently if there is an override content item present.

Parameters:

overrideContentItem -

Returns:

the generated ContentItem

findAllOverrideContentItemsByContentItemId

List<OverrideContentItem> findAllOverrideContentItemsByContentItemId(Long id)

Returns a list of all OverrideContentItems

Parameters:

id -

Returns:

the list of all OverrideContentItems

createContentItemDTOFromContentItem

ContentItemDTO createContentItemDTOFromContentItem(boolean secure,
                                                 Map<String,Object> args,
                                                 ContentItem ci)

Creates a ContentItemDTO from the passed in ContentItem and caches it

Parameters:

secure -

args -

ci -

Returns:

getClonedContentItemDTO

ContentItemDTO getClonedContentItemDTO(ContentItemDTO ciDto)

When passing in the ContentItemDTO to the post retrieval method we clone the DTO to prevent unwanted changes to the original. With this hook point implementors can override this behavior if needed.

Parameters:

ciDto -

Returns:

postRetrievalContentItemModification

ContentItemDTO postRetrievalContentItemModification(ContentItemDTO ciDto,
                                                  String name,
                                                  boolean secure,
                                                  Map<String,Object> args)

Used to modify the ContentItemDTO created. This allows for a hook point to allow implementors to add custom logic to change, add, remove any element(s) in this DTO.

The default implementation does not make any modifications.

One example would be to modify the StructuredContentDTO that has been retrieved with the ContentItem. The list can be filtered, reordered, etc.

Parameters:

ciDto -

name -

secure -

args - @return

hydrateForeignLookups

List<org.broadleafcommerce.common.structure.dto.StructuredContentDTO> hydrateForeignLookups(List<org.broadleafcommerce.common.structure.dto.StructuredContentDTO> dtos)

StructuredContentDTO objects are sometimes cached in the StructuredContentService. Furthermore, this cached version contains information about the kind of value the DTO might hold. In the cases where the value is a foreign key lookup, we want to get the object that it represents and set that as the internal value. However, since these DTOs are not Hibernate entities and are possibly stored in a cache, we need to load the target object on each request to avoid lazy initialization exceptions. This method performs that hydration.

Parameters:

dtos -

Returns:

the same list that was passed in

removeContentItemFromCache

boolean removeContentItemFromCache(ContentItem contentItem)

Removes the passed in contentItem (and its associated StructuredContent items) from cache

Parameters:

contentItem -

setStructuredContentForDTO

void setStructuredContentForDTO(ContentItem contentItem,
                              boolean isSecure,
                              ContentItemDTO ciDto)

Adds StructuredContentDTO to ContentItemDTO. First looks at Cache, then goes to database.

Parameters:

contentItem -

ciDto -

isSecure -
