HST Content Version Utils

This project provides utilities to retrieve versioned, frozen node content using HST Content Beans.

Retrieving a content which was effective at a specific date time ('as-of' date time)

        final HstRequestContext requestContext = RequestContextProvider.get();

        // Suppose you want to retrieve a versioned, frozen content of the current news article content
        // which was effective five days ago.

        News news = requestContext.getContentBean();
        Calendar liveVersionAsOf = Calendar.getInstance();
        liveVersionAsOf.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR, -5);

        news = HippoBeanVersionUtils.getVersionedBeanAsOf(news.getCanonicalHandlePath(),
                                                          News.class,
                                                          liveVersionAsOf);

        if (news == null) {
            log.warn("No version available for the news at '{}'.", news.getPath());
        } else {
            log.debug("Versioned, frozen content of the news article is available which was effective 5 days ago.");
            request.setAttribute("document", news);
        }
