Method Detail

getBinHierarchyId

Id getBinHierarchyId()

Gets the hierarchy Id associated with this session.

Returns:

the hierarchy Id associated with this session

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

getBinHierarchy

Hierarchy getBinHierarchy()
                          throws OperationFailedException,
                                 PermissionDeniedException

Gets the hierarchy associated with this session.

Returns:

the hierarchy associated with this session

Throws:

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

canModifyBinHierarchy

boolean canModifyBinHierarchy()

Tests if this user can change the hierarchy. A return of true does not guarantee successful authorization. A return of false indicates that it is known performing any update will result in a PERMISSION_DENIED. This is intended as a hint to an application that may opt not to offer these operations to an unauthorized user.

Returns:

false if changing this hierarchy is not authorized, true otherwise

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

addRootBin

void addRootBin(Id binId)
                throws AlreadyExistsException,
                       NotFoundException,
                       OperationFailedException,
                       PermissionDeniedException

Adds a root bin.

Parameters:

binId - the Id of a bin

Throws:

AlreadyExistsException - binId is already in hierarchy

NotFoundException - binId not found

NullArgumentException - binId is null

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

removeRootBin

void removeRootBin(Id binId)
                   throws NotFoundException,
                          OperationFailedException,
                          PermissionDeniedException

NotFoundException - binId not a root

NullArgumentException - binId is null

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

addChildBin

void addChildBin(Id binId,
               Id childId)
