Renaming collection in eXist-db in Java

Question

Hi I would like to ask if someone could tell me if it is possible to rename a collection in eXist-db in Java (without having to remove old collection and create a new one). I have already searched the API but haven't found anything except creating and removing collections. I'm using exist's XML:DB API.

Which of eXist's Java APIs are you using? XML-RPC? XML:DB? REST? XQJ? internal? — adamretter, Jun 03 '14 at 11:51

You can safely cast your instance of org.xmldb.api.modules.CollectionManagementService to org.exist.xmldb.CollectionManagementServiceImpl. CollectionManagementServiceImpl has some additional methods on it such as move for collections and moveResource for resources, among others.
