jsNode reference

jsNode is the preferred object to access node properties and aspects by using JavaScript on the browser.

When dealing with DataTable records, record.jsNode should be available.

Note: It is the responsibility of any code that updates DataTable records to also ensure the jsNode property is updated (usually within the AJAX success callback).
To create a jsNode instance, use:
jsNode = new SkyVault.util.Node(p_node)
where p_node can either be a JavaScript object or JSON string. In either case, it should be in the format returned by the doclist-v2 data web scripts.

Methods

The jsNode methods are:

getNode Returns original node object. If a JSON string was passed in, this method returns a JavaScript object
toJSON Return the JSON string serialization of the node
setNodeRef Sets a new nodeRef - doesn't requery node properties however. Used solely when generating new page urls
hasAspect Returns true if this node has the given aspect
hasTag Returns true if this node has the given tag applied

The slingshot-documentlibrary-context.xml file contains all bean definitions for web tier evaluators.

Core node properties
nodeRef NodeRef
type The node’s type in short QName format
isContainer Returns true if the node is a container type
isLink Returns true if the node is a file or folderlink type
isLocked Returns true if the node has been locked by any user
