OSID - osid.calendaring.EventCalendarSession Service Interface Definition

Interface	osid.calendaring.EventCalendarSession
Implements	`osid.OsidSession`
Used By	`osid.calendaring.CalendaringManager`
Used By	`osid.calendaring.CalendaringProxyManager`
Description	This session provides methods to retrieve `Event` to `Calendar` mappings. An `Event` may appear in multiple `Calendars`. Each `Calendar` may have its own authorizations governing who is allowed to look at it. This lookup session defines two views: comparative view: elements may be silently omitted or re-ordered plenary view: provides a complete result set or is an error condition normalized event view: a single recurring event is used to represent a series of events denormalized view: recurring events are expanded into individual events
Method	canLookupEventCalendarMappings
Description	Tests if this user can perform lookups of event/calendar mappings. A return of true does not guarantee successful authorization. A return of false indicates that it is known lookup 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.
Return	`boolean`		`false` if looking up mappings is not authorized, `true` otherwise
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	useComparativeCalendarView
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.
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method is must be implemented.
Method	usePlenaryCalendarView
Description	A complete view of the `Event` and `Calendar` 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.
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method is must be implemented.
Method	useNormalizedEventView
Description	A normalized view sends a single notification for recurring events.
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method is must be implemented.
Method	useDenormalizedEventView
Description	A denormalized view sends a separate notification for each event in a recurring set.
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method is must be implemented.
Method	getEventIdsByCalendar
Description	Gets the list of `Event` `Ids` associated with a `Calendar`.
Parameters	`osid.id.Id`	`calendarId`	`Id` of the `Calendar`
Return	`osid.id.IdList`		list of related event `Ids`
Errors	NOT_FOUND		`calendarId` is not found
	NULL_ARGUMENT		`calendarId` is `null`
	OPERATION_FAILED		unable to complete request
	PERMISSION_DENIED		authorization failure
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	getEventsByCalendar
Description	Gets the list of `Events` associated with a `Calendar`.
Parameters	`osid.id.Id`	`calendarId`	`Id` of the `Calendar`
Return	`osid.calendaring.EventList`		list of related events
Errors	NOT_FOUND		`calendarId` is not found
	NULL_ARGUMENT		`calendarId` is `null`
	OPERATION_FAILED		unable to complete request
	PERMISSION_DENIED		authorization failure
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	getEventIdsByCalendars
Description	Gets the list of `Event Ids` corresponding to a list of `Calendars`.
Parameters	`osid.id.IdList`	`calendarIds`	list of calendar `Ids`
Return	`osid.id.IdList`		list of event `Ids`
Errors	NULL_ARGUMENT		`calendarIds` is `null`
	OPERATION_FAILED		unable to complete request
	PERMISSION_DENIED		authorization failure
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	getEventsByCalendars
Description	Gets the list of `Events` corresponding to a list of `Calendars`.
Parameters	`osid.id.IdList`	`calendarIds`	list of calendar `Ids`
Return	`osid.calendaring.EventList`		list of events
Errors	NULL_ARGUMENT		`calendarIds` is `null`
	OPERATION_FAILED		unable to complete request
	PERMISSION_DENIED		authorization failure
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	getCalendarIdsByEvent
Description	Gets the list of `Calendar` `Ids` mapped to an `Event`.
Parameters	`osid.id.Id`	`eventId`	`Id` of an `Event`
Return	`osid.id.IdList`		list of calendar `Ids`
Errors	NOT_FOUND		`eventId` is not found
	NULL_ARGUMENT		`eventId` is `null`
	OPERATION_FAILED		unable to complete request
	PERMISSION_DENIED		authorization failure
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
