Hi Mike, I believe that is true, and I use the hasNode function to do the
functionality you want, and its actually a PathNotFoundException that gets
thrown. I use something like this to check for full paths and create them if
needed:
private Node createFolders(Node parent, String[] folders, int startIndex)
throws Exception {
checkLocked(parent);
for (; startIndex < folders.length; startIndex++) {
String folderName = folders[startIndex];
parent = parent.addNode(folderName, FOLDER_TYPE);
}
return parent;
}
private Node getFolderNodeForPath(String folderPath, Node objectNode)
throws Exception {
String[] folders = folderPath.split("/");
Node folderNode = objectNode;
for (int i = 0; i < folders.length; i++) {
String folderName = folders[i];
if (StringUtils.isEmpty(folderName)) {
break;
}
if (folderNode.hasNode(folderName)) {
folderNode = folderNode.getNode(folderName);
} else {
folderNode = createFolders(folderNode, folders, i);
break;
}
}
return folderNode;
}
