Interface PoolConstrainerQuerySession

All Superinterfaces:

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

All Known Subinterfaces:

PoolConstrainerSearchSession

public interface PoolConstrainerQuerySession
extends OsidSession

This session provides methods for searching among PoolConstrainer objects. The search query is constructed using the PoolConstrainerQuery.

This session defines views that offer differing behaviors for searching.

• federated distributor view: searches include pool constrainer in distributors of which this distributor is an ancestor in the distributor hierarchy
• isolated distributor view: searches are restricted to pool constrainer in this distributor

Pool constrainer may have a query record indicated by their respective record types. The query record is accessed via the PoolConstrainerQuery.

canSearchPoolConstrainers

boolean canSearchPoolConstrainers()

Tests if this user can perform PoolConstrainer 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 not offer lookup operations to unauthorized users.

Returns:

false if search methods are not authorized, true otherwise

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

useFederatedDistributorView

void useFederatedDistributorView()

Federates the view for methods in this session. A federated view will include pool constrainer in distributors which are children of this broker in the distributor hierarchy.

Compliance:

mandatory - This method is must be implemented.

useIsolatedDistributorView

void useIsolatedDistributorView()

Isolates the view for methods in this session. An isolated view restricts lookups to this distributor only.

Compliance:

mandatory - This method is must be implemented.

getPoolConstrainerQuery

PoolConstrainerQuery getPoolConstrainerQuery()

Gets a pool constrainer query.

Returns:

the pool constrainer query

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

getPoolConstrainersByQuery

PoolConstrainerList getPoolConstrainersByQuery(PoolConstrainerQuery poolConstrainerQuery)
                                               throws OperationFailedException,
                                                      PermissionDeniedException

Gets a list of PoolConstrainers matching the given search.

Parameters:

poolConstrainerQuery - the search query

Returns:

the returned PoolConstrainerList

Throws:

NullArgumentException - poolConstrainerQuery is null

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

UnsupportedException - poolConstrainerQuery is not of this service
