Interfaceosid.bidding.rules.AuctionProcessorEnablerLookupSession
Implementsosid.OsidSession
Description

This session provides methods for retrieving AuctionProcessorEnablers.

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 auction house view: All auction processor enabler methods in this session operate, retrieve and pertain to auction processor enablers defined explicitly in the current auction house. Using an isolated view is useful for managing AuctionProcessorEnablers with the AuctionProcessorEnablerAdminSession.
  • federated auction house view: All auction processor enabler methods in this session operate, retrieve and pertain to all auction processor enablers defined in this auction house and any other auction processor enablers implicitly available in this auction house through auction house inheritence.
  • active auction processor enabler view: All auction processor enabler lookup methods return active auction processor enablers.
  • any status auction processor enabler view: Auction processor 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.

MethodcanLookupAuctionProcessorEnablers
Description

Tests if this user can perform AuctionProcessorEnablers 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.

Returnboolean false if lookup methods are not authorized, true otherwise
CompliancemandatoryThis method must be implemented.
MethoduseComparativeAuctionProcessorEnablerView
Description

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.

CompliancemandatoryThis method is must be implemented.
MethodusePlenaryAuctionProcessorEnablerView
Description

A complete view of the AuctionProcessorEnabler returns is desired. Methods will return what is requested or result in an error. This view is used when greater precision is desired at the expense of interoperability.

CompliancemandatoryThis method is must be implemented.
MethoduseFederatedAuctionHouseView
Description

Federates the view for methods in this session. A federated view will include auction processor enablers in auction houses which are children of this auction house in the auction house hierarchy.

CompliancemandatoryThis method is must be implemented.
MethoduseIsolatedAuctionHouseView
Description

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

CompliancemandatoryThis method is must be implemented.
MethoduseActiveAuctionProcessorEnablerView
Description

Only active auction processor enablers are returned by methods in this session.

CompliancemandatoryThis method is must be implemented.
MethoduseAnyStatusAuctionProcessorEnablerView
Description

All active and inactive auction processor enablers are returned by methods in this session.

CompliancemandatoryThis method is must be implemented.
MethodgetAuctionProcessorEnabler
Description

Gets the AuctionProcessorEnabler specified by its Id.

In plenary mode, the exact Id is found or a NOT_FOUND results. Otherwise, the returned AuctionProcessorEnabler may have a different Id than requested, such as the case where a duplicate Id was assigned to an AuctionProcessorEnabler and retained for compatibility.

In active mode, auction processor enablers are returned that are currently active. In any status mode, active and inactive auction processor enablers are returned.

MethodgetAuctionProcessorEnablersByIds
Description

Gets an AuctionProcessorEnablerList corresponding to the given IdList.

In plenary mode, the returned list contains all of the auction processor enablers specified in the Id list, in the order of the list, including duplicates, or an error results if an Id in the supplied list is not found or inaccessible. Otherwise, inaccessible AuctionProcessorEnablers may be omitted from the list and may present the elements in any order including returning a unique set.

In active mode, auction processor enablers are returned that are currently active. In any status mode, active and inactive auction processor enablers are returned.
