Interface DispatchConstrainerEnablerLookupSession

All Superinterfaces:
AutoCloseable, Closeable, OsidSession, OsidSession

public interface DispatchConstrainerEnablerLookupSession extends OsidSession

This session provides methods for retrieving DispatchConstrainerEnablers .

This session defines views that offer differing behaviors when retrieving multiple objects.

  • comparative view: elements may be silently omitted or re-ordered
  • plenary view: provides a complete set or is an error condition
  • isolated publisher view: All dispatch cosntrainer enabler methods in this session operate, retrieve and pertain to dispatch constrainer enablers defined explicitly in the current publisher Using an isolated view is useful for managing DispatchConstrainerEnablers with the DispatchConstrainerEnablerAdminSession .
  • federated publisher view: All dispatch constrainer enabler methods in this session operate, retrieve and pertain to all dispatch constrainer enablers defined in this publisher and any other dispatch constrainer enablers implicitly available in this publisher through publisher inheritence.

Generally, the comparative view should be used for most applications as it permits operation even if there is data that cannot be accessed. The methods useFederatedPublisherView() and useIsolatedPublisherView() beha ve as a radio group and one should be selected before invoking any lookup methods.

    • getPublisherId

      Id getPublisherId()

    • canLookupDispatchConstrainerEnablers

      boolean canLookupDispatchConstrainerEnablers()
      Tests if this user can perform DispatchConstrainerEnabler 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 opt not to offer lookup operations to unauthorized users.
      Returns:
      false if lookup methods are not authorized, true otherwise
      Compliance:
      mandatory - This method must be implemented.
    • useComparativeDispatchConstrainerEnablerView

      void useComparativeDispatchConstrainerEnablerView()
      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.
    • usePlenaryDispatchConstrainerEnablerView

      void usePlenaryDispatchConstrainerEnablerView()
      A complete view of the DispatchConstrainerEnabler 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.
    • useFederatedPublisherView

      void useFederatedPublisherView()
      Federates the view for methods in this session. A federated view will include dispatch constrainer enablers in publishers which are children of this publisher in the publisher hierarchy.
      Compliance:
      mandatory - This method is must be implemented.
    • useIsolatedPublisherView

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

      Gets a DispatchConstrainerEnablerList corresponding to the given IdList . In plenary mode, the returned list contains all of the dispatch constrainer enablers specified in the Id list, in the order of the list, including duplicates, or an error results if an Id in the supplied list is not found or inaccessible. Otherwise, inaccessible DispatchConstrainerEnablers may be omitted from the list and may present the elements in any order including returning a unique set.
