Method Detail

getConfigurationId

Id getConfigurationId()

Gets the Configuration Id associated with this session.

Returns:

the Configuration Id associated with this session

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

getConfiguration

Configuration getConfiguration()
                               throws OperationFailedException,
                                      PermissionDeniedException

Gets the Configuration associated with this session.

Returns:

the configuration

Throws:

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

canAssignParameterProcessors

boolean canAssignParameterProcessors()

Tests if this user can alter parameter processor/parameter 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.

assignParameterProcessorToParameter

void assignParameterProcessorToParameter(Id parameterProcessorId,
                                       Id parameterId)
                                         throws AlreadyExistsException,
                                                NotFoundException,
                                                OperationFailedException,
                                                PermissionDeniedException

Adds an existing ParameterProcessor to a Parameter.

Parameters:

parameterProcessorId - the Id of the ParameterProcessor

parameterId - the Id of the Parameter

Throws:

AlreadyExistsException - parameterProcessorId is already applied to parameterId

NotFoundException - parameterProcessorId or parameterId not found

NullArgumentException - parameterProcessorId or parameterId is null

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

unassignParameterProcessorFromParameter

void unassignParameterProcessorFromParameter(Id parameterProcessorId,
                                           Id parameterId)
                                             throws NotFoundException,
                                                    OperationFailedException,
                                                    PermissionDeniedException

Removes a ParameterProcessor from a Parameter.

Parameters:

parameterProcessorId - the Id of the ParameterProcessor

parameterId - the Id of the Parameter

Throws:

NotFoundException - parameterProcessorId or parameterId not found or parameterProcessorId is not applied to parameterId

NullArgumentException - parameterProcessorId or parameterId is null

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

canSequenceParameterProcessors

boolean canSequenceParameterProcessors()

Tests if this user can order ParametereProcessors. 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 ParameterProcessor ordering is not authorized, true otherwise

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

moveParameterProcessorAhead

void moveParameterProcessorAhead(Id parameterProcessorId,
                               Id parameterId,
                               Id referenceId)

NotFoundException - parameterProcessorId, parameterId, or referenceId not found or, parameterProcessorId, or referenceId not related to parameterId

NullArgumentException - parameterProcessorId, parameterId, or referenceId is null

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

moveParameterProcessorBehind

void moveParameterProcessorBehind(Id parameterProcessorId,
