Interface RaceProcessorLookupSession

All Superinterfaces:
AutoCloseable, Closeable, OsidSession, OsidSession
public interface RaceProcessorLookupSession extends OsidSession

This session provides methods for retrieving RaceProcessors .

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 polls view: All race processor methods in this session operate, retrieve and pertain to race processor defined explicitly in the current polls. Using an isolated view is useful for managing RaceProcessors with the RaceProcessorAdminSession .
  • federated polls view: All race processor methods in this session operate, retrieve and pertain to all race processor defined in this polls and any other race processor implicitly available in this polls through polls inheritence.
  • active race processor view: All race processor lookup methods return active race processors.
  • any status race processor view: Race processors of any active or inactive status are returned from methods.

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 useFederatedPollsView() and useIsolatedPollsView() behave as a radio group and one should be selected before invoking the methods in this session.

      mandatory - This method must be implemented.

    • canLookupRaceProcessors

      boolean canLookupRaceProcessors()
      Tests if this user can perform RaceProcessors 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.

    • useComparativeRaceProcessorView

      void useComparativeRaceProcessorView()
      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.

    • usePlenaryRaceProcessorView

      void usePlenaryRaceProcessorView()
      A complete view of the RaceProcessor 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.

    • useFederatedPollsView

      void useFederatedPollsView()
      Federates the view for methods in this session. A federated view will include race processor in polls which are children of this polls in the polls hierarchy.
      Compliance:
      mandatory - This method is must be implemented.

    • useIsolatedPollsView

      void useIsolatedPollsView()
      Isolates the view for methods in this session. An isolated view restricts lookups to this polls only.

      void useAnyStatusRaceProcessorView()
      All active and inactive race processors are returned by methods in this session.
      Compliance:
      mandatory - This method is must be implemented.

    • getRaceProcessor

      RaceProcessor getRaceProcessor(Id raceProcessorId) throws NotFoundException, OperationFailedException, PermissionDeniedException
      Gets the RaceProcessor specified by its Id . In plenary mode, the exact Id is found or a NOT_FOUND results. Otherwise, the returned RaceProcessor may have a different Id than requested, such as the case where a duplicate Id was assigned to a RaceProcessor and retained for compatibility. In active mode, race processors are returned that are currently active. In any status mode, active and inactive race processors are returned.
      Parameters:
      raceProcessorId - Id of the RaceProcessor
      Returns:
      the race processor
