OSID - osid.provisioning.rules.BrokerConstrainerEnablerRuleLookupSession Service Interface Definition

Interface	osid.provisioning.rules.BrokerConstrainerEnablerRuleLookupSession
Implements	`osid.OsidSession`
Description	This session provides methods to retrieve `BrokerConstrainerEnabler` to `BrokerConstrainer` mappings. A `BrokerConstrainer` with multiple `BrokerConstrainerEnablers` means any positive rule evaluation across the enablers result in an effective `BrokerConstrainer.` This lookup session defines several views: comparative view: elements may be silently omitted or re-ordered plenary view: provides a complete result set or is an error condition isolated distributor view: All methods in this session operate, retrieve and pertain broker constrainer enablers defined explicitly in the current distributor federated distributor view: All methods in this session operate, retrieve and pertain to all broker constrainer enablers defined in this distributor and any other broker constrainer enablers implicitly available in this distributor through distributor inheritence.
Method	getDistributorId
Description	Gets the `Distributor` `Id` associated with this session.
Return	`osid.id.Id`		the `Distributor Id` associated with this session

Method	canLookupBrokerConstrainerEnablerRules
Description	Tests if this user can perform lookups of broker constrainer enabler/broker constrainer 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	useComparativeBrokerConstrainerEnablerRuleView
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	usePlenaryBrokerConstrainerEnablerRuleView
Description	A complete view of the `BrokerConstrainerEnabler` and `BrokerConstrainer` 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	useFederatedDistributorView
Description	Federates the view for methods in this session. A federated view will include broker constrainer enablers in distributors which are children of this distributor in the distributor hierarchy.
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method is must be implemented.
Method	useIsolatedDistributorView
Description	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.

Description	Gets the `BrokerConstrainerEnabler Id` associated with a `BrokerConstrainer.`
Parameters	`osid.id.Id`	`brokerConstrainerId`	`Id` of the `BrokerConstrainer`

Errors	NOT_FOUND		`brokerConstrainerId` is not found
	NULL_ARGUMENT		`brokerConstrainerId` is `null`
	OPERATION_FAILED		unable to complete request
	PERMISSION_DENIED		authorization failure
Compliance	`mandatory`		This method must be implemented.
