Interface OffsetEventQuerySession

All Superinterfaces:
AutoCloseable, Closeable, OsidSession, OsidSession
All Known Subinterfaces:
OffsetEventSearchSession
public interface OffsetEventQuerySession extends OsidSession

This session provides methods for searching OffsetEvent objects. The search query is constructed using the OffsetEventQuery . The offset event record Type also specifies the record for the offset event query.

This session defines views that offer differing behaviors for searching.

  • federated calendar view: searches include offset events in calendars of which this calendar is an ancestor in the calendar hierarchy
  • isolated calendar view: searches are restricted to offset events in this calendar
OffsetEvents may have a query record indicated by their respective record types. The query record is accessed via the OffsetEventQuery .

      mandatory - This method must be implemented.

    • useFederatedCalendarView

      void useFederatedCalendarView()
      Federates the view for methods in this session. A federated view will include offset events in calendars which are children of this calendar in the calendar hierarchy.
      Compliance:
      mandatory - This method is must be implemented.

    • useIsolatedCalendarView

      void useIsolatedCalendarView()
      Isolates the view for methods in this session. An isolated view restricts searches to this calendar only.
      Compliance:
      mandatory - This method is must be implemented.

    • getOffsetEventQuery

      OffsetEventQuery getOffsetEventQuery()
      Gets an offset event query.
      Returns:
      the offset event query

      OffsetEventList getOffsetEventsByQuery(OffsetEventQuery offsetEventQuery) throws OperationFailedException, PermissionDeniedException
      Gets a list of OffsetEvents matching the given offset event query.
      Parameters:
      offsetEventQuery - the offset event query
      Returns:
      the returned OffsetEventList
      Throws:
      NullArgumentException - offsetEventQuery is null
      OperationFailedException - unable to complete request
