public interface OfferingConstrainerRuleApplicationSession
extends OsidSession

This session provides methods to apply OfferingConstrainers to CanonicalUnits to constrain the offerings for a canonical unit. A CanonicalUnit with multiple OfferingConstrainers means any positive rule evaluation across the result in an effective CanonicalUnit.

Method Detail

getCatalogueId

Id getCatalogueId()

Gets the Catalogue Id associated with this session.

Returns:

the Catalogue Id associated with this session

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

getCatalogue

Catalogue getCatalogue()
                       throws OperationFailedException,
                              PermissionDeniedException

Gets the Catalogue associated with this session.

Returns:

the catalogue

Throws:

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

canAssignOfferingConstrainers

boolean canAssignOfferingConstrainers()

Tests if this user can alter offering constrainer/canonical unit mappings. A return of true does not guarantee successful authorization. A return of false indicates that it is known mapping 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 mapping is not authorized, true otherwise

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

assignOfferingConstrainerToCanonicalUnit

void assignOfferingConstrainerToCanonicalUnit(Id offeringConstrainerId,
                                            Id canonicalUnitId)
                                              throws AlreadyExistsException,

                                                     PermissionDeniedException

Adds an existing OfferingConstrainer to a CanonicalUnit.

Parameters:

offeringConstrainerId - the Id of the OfferingConstrainer

canonicalUnitId - the Id of the CanonicalUnit

Throws:

AlreadyExistsException - offeringConstrainerId already applied to canonicalUnitId

NotFoundException - offeringConstrainerId or canonicalUnitId not found

NullArgumentException - offeringConstrainerId or canonicalUnitId is null

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

unassignOfferingConstrainerFromCanonicalUnit

void unassignOfferingConstrainerFromCanonicalUnit(Id offeringConstrainerId,
                                                Id canonicalUnitId)
                                                  throws NotFoundException,
                                                         OperationFailedException,

Removes an OfferingConstrainer from a CanonicalUnit.

Parameters:

offeringConstrainerId - the Id of the OfferingConstrainer

canonicalUnitId - the Id of the CanonicalUnit

Throws:

NotFoundException - offeringConstrainerId or canonicalUnitId not found or offeringConstrainerId already applied to canonicalUnitId

NullArgumentException - offeringConstrainerId or canonicalUnitId is null

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

canSequenceOfferingConstrainers

boolean canSequenceOfferingConstrainers()

Tests if this user can order OfferingConstrainers. A return of true does not guarantee successful authorization. A return of false indicates that it is known sequencing operations will result in a PERMISSION_DENIED. This is intended as a hint to an application that may opt not to offer sequencing operations to an unauthorized user.

Returns:

false if OfferingConstrainer ordering is not authorized, true otherwise

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.
