Class HierarchicalReferenceTablesHelper

java.lang.Object

org.ametys.cms.content.referencetable.HierarchicalReferenceTablesHelper
All Implemented Interfaces:
LogEnabled, Disposable, Component, Serviceable

Helper component for computing information about hierarchy of reference table Contents.

At the startup of the Ametys application, you must call registerRelation(ContentType, ContentType) in order to register a relation between a parent content type and its child content type.
When all relations are registered, one or several hierarchy(ies) can be inferred, following some basic rules:
  • A hierarchy of two or more content types cannot be cyclic
  • A content type can have itself as its parent content type
  • A content type cannot have two different parent content types
  • A content type can have only one content type as children, plus possibly itself
From each hierarchy of content types, a tree of contents can be inferred.

For instance, the following examples of hierarchy are valid (where X←Y means 'X is the parent content type of Y';
and ⤹Z means 'Z is the parent content type of Z'):
  • B←A
  • E←D←C←B←A
  • ⤹B←A (content type B defines two different child content types, but one is itself, which is allowed)
  • ⤹E←D←C←B←A
  • ⤹A
; and the following examples of hierarchy are invalid:
  • C←B and C←A (a content type cannot have multiple content types as children, which are not itself)
  • C←A and B←A (a content type cannot have two different parent content types)
  • ⤹A and B←A (a content type cannot have two different parent content types, even if one is itself)
  • A←B and B←A (cyclic hierarchy)
  • A←C←B←A (cyclic hierarchy)
