Interface BlogBatchAdminSession

All Superinterfaces:
AutoCloseable, BlogAdminSession, Closeable, OsidSession, OsidSession
public interface BlogBatchAdminSession extends BlogAdminSession

This session creates, updates, and deletes Blogs in bulk. The data for create and update is provided by the consumer via the form object. OsidForms are requested for each create or update and may not be reused.

Create and update operations differ in their usage. To create an Blog , an BlogForm is requested using getBlogFormsForCreate() specifying the desired record Types or none if no record Types are needed. Each of the returned BlogForms will indicate that it is to be used with a create operation and can be used to examine metdata or validate data prior to creation. Once an BlogForm is submiited to a create operation, it cannot be reused with another create operation unless the first operation was unsuccessful. Each BlogForm corresponds to an attempted transaction.

The BlogForms returned from getBlogFormsForCreate() may be linked to the originating request through the peer Ids of the BlogForm . In the case where there may be duplicates, any BlogForm of the same peer Ids may be used for a create operation.

Once a batch of BlogForms are submitted for create, a CreateResponse is returned for each BlogForm , although the ordering is not defined. Only errors that pertain to the entire create operation are returned from createBlogs() , errors specific to an individual BlogForm are indicated in the corresponding CreateResponse . CreateResponses may be linked to the originating BlogForm through the BlogForm Id .

For updates, BlogForms are requested to the Blog Id that is to be updated using getBlogFormsForUpdate() where the reference Id in the BlogForm may be used to link the request. Similarly, the BlogForm has metadata about the data that can be updated and it can perform validation before submitting the update. The BlogForm can only be used once for a successful update and cannot be reused.

Once a batch of BlogForms are submitted for update, an UpdateResponse is returned for each BlogForm , although the ordering is not defined. Only errors that pertain to the entire update operation are returned from updateBlogs() , errors specific to an individual BlogForm are indicated in the corresponding UpdateResponse . UpdateResponses may be linked to the originating BlogForm through the BlogForm Id .

The delete operations delete Blogs in bulk. Bulk delete operations return the results in DeleteResponses .
