OSID - osid.mapping.route.RouteLookupSession Service Interface Definition

Interface	osid.mapping.route.RouteLookupSession
Implements	`osid.OsidSession`
Used By	`osid.mapping.route.MappingRouteManager`
Used By	`osid.mapping.route.MappingRouteProxyManager`
Description	This session provides methods for retrieving premade `Routes`. The `Route` represents a set of paths. 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 map view: All route methods in this session operate, retrieve and pertain to routes defined explicitly in the current map. Using an isolated view is useful for managing `Routes` with the `RouteAdminSession`. federated map view: All route methods in this session operate, retrieve and pertain to all routes defined in this map and any other routes implicitly available in this map through map inheritence. effective route view: All route lookup methods return routes where the current date falls in between the effective dates inclusive. any effective route view: Routes of any effective date 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 `useFederatedMapView()` and `useIsolatedMapView()` behave as a radio group and one should be selected before invoking the methods in this session.
Method	getMapId
Description	Gets the `Map` `Id` associated with this session.
Return	`osid.id.Id`		the `Map Id` associated with this session
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	getMap
Description	Gets the `Map` associated with this session.
Return	`osid.mapping.Map`		the map
Errors	OPERATION_FAILED		unable to complete request
Errors	PERMISSION_DENIED		authorization failure
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	canLookupRoutes
Description	Tests if this user can perform `Route` 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.
Return	`boolean`		`false` if lookup methods are not authorized, `true` otherwise
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
Method	useComparativeRouteView
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	usePlenaryRouteView
Description	A complete view of the `Route` 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	useFederatedMapView
Description	Federates the view for methods in this session. A federated view will include routes in maps which are children of this map in the map hierarchy.
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method is must be implemented.
Method	useIsolatedMapView
Description	Isolates the view for methods in this session. An isolated view restricts lookups to this map only.
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method is must be implemented.
Method	useEffectiveRouteView
Description	Only routes whose effective dates are current are returned by methods in this session.
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method is must be implemented.
Method	useAnyEffectiveRouteView
Description	All routes of any effective dates are returned by methods in this session.
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method is must be implemented.
Method	getRoute
Description	Gets the `Route` specified by its `Id`. In plenary mode, the exact `Id` is found or a `NOT_FOUND` results.
