## org.tmatesoft.svn.core.replicator
Class SVNRepositoryReplicator

    java.lang.Object
      org.tmatesoft.svn.core.replicator.SVNRepositoryReplicator

All Implemented Interfaces:
  ISVNCanceller, ISVNEventHandler

public class SVNRepositoryReplicator
extends Object
implements ISVNEventHandler

The SVNRepositoryReplicator class provides an ability to make a copy of an existing repository. The replicator does not create a repository for itself, so, both repositories, source and target, must already exist.

There's two general strategies for a replicator:

- Copying a range of revisions.
- Incremental copying (like the first one, but copies a special range of revisions).

If the range of revisions being copied is `[start, end]`, then the target repository's last revision must be `start - 1`. For example, when copying from the very beginning of a source repository, you pass `start = 1`, what means that the target repository's latest revision must be 0.

An incremental copying means copying from a source repository a revisions range starting at the revision equal to the target repository's latest revision + 1 (including) and up to the source repository's latest revision (also including). This allows to fill up missing revisions from the source repository in the target one, when you, say, once replicated the source repository and got some extra new revisions in it since then.

On condition that a user has got read permissions on the entire source repository and write permissions on the destination one, replicating guarantees that for each N th revision copied from the source repository the user'll have in the N th revision of the destination repository the same changes in both versioned and unversioned (revision properties) data except locks as in the source repository.

With modern Subersion servers you may alternatively use `SVNRepository.replay(long, long, boolean, ISVNEditor)` for repository replication purposes.

Method Detail

### newInstance

    public static SVNRepositoryReplicator newInstance()

  Creates a new repository replicator.

  Returns:
    a new replicator

### replicateRepository

    public long replicateRepository(SVNRepository src,
                                    SVNRepository dst,
                                    boolean incremental)
                             throws SVNException

  Replicates a repository either incrementally or totally.

  If `incremental` is true then copies a range of revisions from the source repository starting at the revision equal to `dst.getLatestRevision() + 1` (including) and expandig to `src.getLatestRevision()`.

  If `incremental` is false then the revision range to copy is `[1, src.getLatestRevision()]`.

  Both `src` and `dst` must be created for the root locations of the repositories.

  Parameters:
    `src` - a source repository to copy from
    `dst` - a destination repository to copy into
    `incremental` - controls the way of copying
  Returns:
    the number of copied revisions
  Throws:
    `SVNException`
  See Also:
    `replicateRepository(SVNRepository,SVNRepository,long,long)`

### replicateRepository

    public long replicateRepository(SVNRepository src,
                                    SVNRepository dst,
                                    long fromRevision,
                                    long toRevision)
                             throws SVNException

  Replicates a range of repository revisions.

  Starts copying from `fromRevision` (including) and expands to `toRevision`. If `fromRevision <= 0` then it defaults to revision 1. If `toRevision` doesn't lie in `(0, src.getLatestRevision()]`, it defaults to `src.getLatestRevision()`. The latest revision of the destination repository must be equal to `fromRevision - 1`, where `fromRevision` is already a valid revision.

  The replicator uses a log operation to investigate the changed paths in every revision to be copied. So, for each revision being replicated an appropriate event with log information for that revision is fired (`fireReplicatingEvent(SVNLogEntry)`) to the registered `handler` (if any). Also during each copy iteration the replicator tests the handler's `checkCancelled()` method to check if the replication operation is cancelled. At the end of the copy operation the replicator (`fireReplicatedEvent(SVNCommitInfo)`) yet one event with commit information about the replicated revision.

  Both `src` and `dst` must be created for the root locations of the repositories.

  Parameters:
    `src` - a source repository to copy from
    `dst` - a destination repository to copy into
    `fromRevision` - a start revision
    `toRevision` - a final revision
  Returns:
    the number of revisions copied from the source repository
  Throws:
    `SVNException`
  See Also:
    `replicateRepository(SVNRepository,SVNRepository,boolean)`

### setReplicationHandler

    public void setReplicationHandler(ISVNReplicationHandler handler)

  Registers a replication handler to this replicator. This handler will be notified of every revision to be copied and provided with corresponding log information (taken from the source repository) concerning that revision. Also the handler is notified as a next source repository revision is already replicated, this time the handler is dispatched commit information on the revision. In addition, during each replicating iteration the handler is used to check whether the operation is cancelled.

  Parameters:
    `handler` - a replication handler

### fireReplicatingEvent

    protected void fireReplicatingEvent(SVNLogEntry revision)
                                 throws SVNException

  Fires a replicating iteration started event to the registered handler.

  Parameters:
    `revision` - log information about the revision to be copied
  Throws:
    `SVNException`

### fireReplicatedEvent

    protected void fireReplicatedEvent(SVNCommitInfo commitInfo)
                                throws SVNException

  Fires a replicating iteration finished event to the registered handler.

  Parameters:
    `commitInfo` - commit info about the copied revision (includes revision number, date, author)
  Throws:
    `SVNException`

### handleEvent

    public void handleEvent(SVNEvent event,
                            double progress)
                     throws SVNException

  Does nothing.

  Specified by:
    `handleEvent` in interface `ISVNEventHandler`
  Parameters:
    `event` -
    `progress` -
  Throws:
    `SVNException`

### checkCancelled

    public void checkCancelled()
                        throws SVNCancelException

  Redirects a call to the registered handler's `checkCancelled()` method.

  Specified by:
    `checkCancelled` in interface `ISVNCanceller`
  Throws:
    `SVNCancelException`
