Interface DemographicEnablerLookupSession

All Superinterfaces:

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

public interface DemographicEnablerLookupSession
extends OsidSession

This session provides methods for retrieving DemographicEnablers.

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 bin view: All demographic enabler methods in this session operate, retrieve and pertain to demographic enablers defined explicitly in the current bin. Using an isolated view is useful for managing DemographicEnablers with the DemographicEnablerAdminSession.
• federated bin view: All demographic enabler methods in this session operate, retrieve and pertain to all demographic enablers defined in this bin and any other demographic enablers implicitly available in this bin through bin inheritence.
• active demographic enabler view: All demographic enabler lookup methods return active demographic enablers.
• any status demographic enabler view:Ddemographic enablers 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.

canLookupDemographicEnablers

boolean canLookupDemographicEnablers()

Tests if this user can perform DemographicEnablers 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.

useComparativeDemographicEnablerView

void useComparativeDemographicEnablerView()

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.
