Interface IdManager

All Superinterfaces:

AutoCloseable, Closeable, IdProfile, OsidManager, OsidManager, OsidProfile, Sourceable

public interface IdManager
extends OsidManager, IdProfile

This manager provides access to the available sessions of the Id service. Ids are created through the IdAdminSession which provides the means for creating a unique identifier.

The IdLookupSession can be used for mapping one Id to another in addition to getting a list of the assigned identifiers.
