Package org.opencms.relations

Class CmsCategory

java.lang.Object

org.opencms.relations.CmsCategory

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<CmsCategory>

public class CmsCategory
extends Object
implements Comparable<CmsCategory>, Serializable

Represents a category, that is just a folder.

The category can be centralized under /system/categories/, or decentralized in every folder.

For instance, you can have a category folder under /sites/default/ so, any file under /sites/default/ could be assigned to any category defined under /system/categories/ or /sites/default/categories.

But a file under /sites/othersite/ will only be assignable to categories defined in /system/categories/.

Since:

6.9.2
