Method Detail

open

public static Repository open(RepositoryCache.Key location)
                       throws IOException,
                              RepositoryNotFoundException

Open an existing repository, reusing a cached instance if possible.

When done with the repository, the caller must call Repository.close() to decrement the repository's usage counter.

Parameters:

location - where the local repository is. Typically a RepositoryCache.FileKey.

Returns:

the repository instance requested; caller must close when done.

Throws:

IOException - the repository could not be read (likely its core.version property is not supported).

RepositoryNotFoundException - there is no repository at the given location.

open

public static Repository open(RepositoryCache.Key location,
              boolean mustExist)
                       throws IOException

Open a repository, reusing a cached instance if possible.

When done with the repository, the caller must call Repository.close() to decrement the repository's usage counter.

Parameters:

location - where the local repository is. Typically a RepositoryCache.FileKey.

mustExist - If true, and the repository is not found, throws RepositoryNotFoundException. If false, a repository instance is created and registered anyway.

Returns:

the repository instance requested; caller must close when done.

Throws:

IOException - the repository could not be read (likely its core.version property is not supported).

RepositoryNotFoundException - There is no repository at the given location, only thrown if mustExist is true.

register

public static void register(Repository db)

Register one repository into the cache.

During registration the cache automatically increments the usage counter, permitting it to retain the reference. A RepositoryCache.FileKey for the repository's Repository.getDirectory() is used to index the repository in the cache.

If another repository already is registered in the cache at this location, the other instance is closed.

Parameters:

db - repository to register.

close

public static void close(Repository db)

Remove a repository from the cache.

Removes a repository from the cache, if it is still registered here, permitting it to close.

Parameters:

db - repository to unregister.

clear

public static void clear()

Unregister all repositories from the cache.
