Interface ProjectAdminSession

All Superinterfaces:

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

All Known Subinterfaces:

ProjectBatchAdminSession

public interface ProjectAdminSession
extends OsidSession

This session creates, updates, and deletes Projects. The data for create and update is provided by the consumer via the form object. OsidForms are requested for each create or update and may not be reused.

Create and update operations differ in their usage. To create a Project, a ProjectForm is requested using getProjectFormForCreate() specifying the desired building and record Types or none if no record Types are needed. The returned ProjectForm will indicate that it is to be used with a create operation and can be used to examine metdata or validate data prior to creation. Once the ProjectForm is submiited to a create operation, it cannot be reused with another create operation unless the first operation was unsuccessful. Each ProjectForm corresponds to an attempted transaction.

For updates, ProjectForms are requested to the Project Id that is to be updated using getProjectFormForUpdate(). Similarly, the ProjectForm has metadata about the data that can be updated and it can perform validation before submitting the update. The ProjectForm can only be used once for a successful update and cannot be reused.

The delete operations delete Projects. To unmap a Project from the current Campus, the ProjectCampusAssignmentSession should be used. These delete operations attempt to remove the Project itself thus removing it from all known Campus catalogs.

This session includes an Id aliasing mechanism to assign an external Id to an internally assigned Id.

Method Detail

getCampusId

Id getCampusId()

Gets the Campus Id associated with this session.

Returns:

the Campus Id associated with this session

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

getCampus

Campus getCampus()
                 throws OperationFailedException,
                        PermissionDeniedException

Gets the Campus associated with this session.

Returns:

the campus

Throws:

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

canCreateProjects

boolean canCreateProjects()

Tests if this user can create Projects. A return of true does not guarantee successful authorization. A return of false indicates that it is known creating a Project will result in a PERMISSION_DENIED. This is intended as a hint to an application that may not wish to offer create operations to unauthorized users.

Returns:

false if Project creation is not authorized, true otherwise

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

canCreateProjectWithRecordTypes

boolean canCreateProjectWithRecordTypes(Type[] projectRecordTypes)

Tests if this user can create a single Project using the desired record interface types. While RoomConstructionManager.getProjectRecordTypes() can be used to examine which record interfaces are supported, this method tests which record(s) are required for creating a specific Project. Providing an empty array tests if a Project can be created with no records.

Parameters:

projectRecordTypes - array of project record types

Returns:

true if Project creation using the specified record Types is supported, false otherwise

Throws:

NullArgumentException - projectRecordTypes is null

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

getProjectFormForCreate

ProjectForm getProjectFormForCreate(Id buildingId,
                                  Type[] projectRecordTypes)
                                    throws NotFoundException,
                                           OperationFailedException,
                                           PermissionDeniedException

Gets the project form for creating new projects. A new form should be requested for each create transaction.

Parameters:

Returns:

the project form

Throws:

NotFoundException - buildngId is not found

NullArgumentException - buildngId or projectRecordTypes is null

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

UnsupportedException - unable to get from for requested record types

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

Project createProject(ProjectForm projectForm)
                      throws OperationFailedException,
                             PermissionDeniedException

Creates a new Project.

Parameters:

projectForm - the form for this Project

Returns:

the new Project

Throws:

IllegalStateException - projectForm already used in a create transaction

InvalidArgumentException - one or more of the form elements is invalid

Returns:

false if Project modification is not authorized, true otherwise
