Interface TimePeriodCyclicTimePeriodLookupSession

All Superinterfaces:

java.lang.AutoCloseable, java.io.Closeable, OsidSession

public interface TimePeriodCyclicTimePeriodLookupSession
extends OsidSession

This session provides methods to retrieve CyclicTimePeriod to TimePeriod mappings. A TimePeriod may be mapped to multiple CyclicTimePeriods explicitly or through a rule-based generation.

This lookup session defines two views:

• comparative view: elements may be silently omitted or re-ordered
• plenary view: provides a complete result set or is an error condition
• isolated calendar view: All cyclic time period methods in this session operate, retrieve and pertain to cyclic time periods defined explicitly in the current calendar.
• federated calendar view: All cyclic time period methods in this session operate, retrieve and pertain to all cyclic time periods defined in this calendar and any other calendars implicitly available in this calendar through calendar inheritence.

Method Detail

getCalendarId

Id getCalendarId()

Gets the Calendar Id associated with this session.

Returns:

the Calendar Id associated with this session

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

getCalendar

Calendar getCalendar()
                     throws OperationFailedException,
                            PermissionDeniedException

Gets the Calendar associated with this session.

Returns:

the Calendar associated with this session

Throws:

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

canLookupTimePeriodCyclicTimePeriodMappings

boolean canLookupTimePeriodCyclicTimePeriodMappings()

Tests if this user can perform lookups of tiem period/cyclic time period mappings. A return of true does not guarantee successful authorization. A return of false indicates that it is known lookup methods in this session will result in a PERMISSION_DENIED. This is intended as a hint to an application that may opt not to offer lookup operations to unauthorized users.

Returns:

false if looking up mappings is not authorized, true otherwise

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

useComparativeCalendarView

void useComparativeCalendarView()

The returns from the lookup methods may omit or translate elements based on this session, such as authorization, and not result in an error. This view is used when greater interoperability is desired at the expense of precision.

Compliance:

mandatory - This method is must be implemented.

usePlenaryCalendarView

void usePlenaryCalendarView()

A complete view of the CyclicTimePeriod and TmePeriod returns is desired. Methods will return what is requested or result in an error. This view is used when greater precision is desired at the expense of interoperability.

Compliance:

mandatory - This method is must be implemented.

useFederatedCalendarView

void useFederatedCalendarView()

Federates the view for methods in this session. A federated view will include cyclic time periods in calendars which are children of this calendar in the calendar hierarchy.

Compliance:

mandatory - This method is must be implemented.

useIsolatedCalendarView

void useIsolatedCalendarView()

Isolates the view for methods in this session. An isolated view restricts lookups to this calendar only.

Compliance:

mandatory - This method is must be implemented.
