Interface CanonicalUnitProcessorLookupSession

All Superinterfaces:

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

public interface CanonicalUnitProcessorLookupSession
extends OsidSession

This session provides methods for retrieving CanonicalUnitProcessors.

This session defines views that offer differing behaviors when retrieving multiple objects.

• comparative view: elements may be silently omitted or re-ordered
• plenary view: provides a complete set or is an error condition
• isolated catalogue view: All canonical unit processor methods in this session operate, retrieve and pertain to canonical unit processor defined explicitly in the current catalogue. Using an isolated view is useful for managing CanonicalUnitProcessors with the CanonicalUnitProcessorAdminSession.
• federated catalogue view: All canonical unit processor methods in this session operate, retrieve and pertain to all canonical unit processor defined in this catalogue and any other canonical unit processor implicitly available in this catalogue through catalogue inheritence.
• active canonical unit processor view: All canonical unit processor lookup methods return active canonical unit processors.
• any status canonical unit processor view: CanonicalUnit processors of any active or inactive status are returned from methods.

Generally, the comparative view should be used for most applications as it permits operation even if there is data that cannot be accessed. The methods useFederatedDistributorView() and useIsolatedDistributorView() behave as a radio group and one should be selected before invoking the methods in this session.

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

canLookupCanonicalUnitProcessors

boolean canLookupCanonicalUnitProcessors()

Tests if this user can perform CanonicalUnitProcessors lookups. A return of true does not guarantee successful authorization. A return of false indicates that it is known all 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 lookup methods are not authorized, true otherwise

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

useComparativeCanonicalUnitProcessorView

void useComparativeCanonicalUnitProcessorView()

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.

usePlenaryCanonicalUnitProcessorView

void usePlenaryCanonicalUnitProcessorView()
