Interface CourseRegistrationQuerySession

All Superinterfaces:

AutoCloseable, Closeable, OsidSession, OsidSession

All Known Subinterfaces:

CourseRegistrationSearchSession

public interface CourseRegistrationQuerySession
extends OsidSession

This session provides methods for searching among CourseRegistrations . The search query is constructed using the CourseRegistrationQuery .

This session defines views that offer differing behaviors for searching.

• federated course catalog view: searches include course registrations in course catalogs of which this course catalog is an ancestor in the course catalog hierarchy
• isolated course catalog view: searches are restricted to course registrations in this course catalog

Course Registrations may have a query record indicated by their respective record types. The query record is accessed via the CourseRegistrationQuery .

CourseCatalog getCourseCatalog()
                        throws OperationFailedException,
PermissionDeniedException

Gets the CourseCatalog associated with this session.

Returns:

the course catalog

canSearchCourseRegistrations

boolean canSearchCourseRegistrations()

Tests if this user can perform CourseRegistr ation 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 not offer lookup operations to unauthorized users.

Returns:

false if search methods are not authorized, true otherwise

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

useFederatedCourseCatalogView

void useFederatedCourseCatalogView()

Compliance:

mandatory - This method is must be implemented.

useIsolatedCourseCatalogView

void useIsolatedCourseCatalogView()

Isolates the view for methods in this session. An isolated view restricts searches to this course catalog only.

Compliance:

mandatory - This method is must be implemented.

getCourseRegistrationQuery

CourseRegistrationQuery getCourseRegistrationQuery()

Returns:

the course registration query

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

getCourseRegistrationsByQuery

CourseRegistrationList getCourseRegistrationsByQuery(CourseRegistrationQuery courseRegistrationQuery)
                                              throws OperationFailedException,
PermissionDeniedException
