Interface StepEnablerRuleApplicationSession

All Superinterfaces:

AutoCloseable, Closeable, OsidSession, OsidSession

public interface StepEnablerRuleApplicationSession
extends OsidSession

This session provides methods to apply StepEnablers to Steps . Multiple StepEnablers applied to an Step may be sequenced such that the first positive evaluation results in the StepEnablers used.

Method Details

getOfficeId

Id getOfficeId()

Gets the Office Id associated with this session.

Returns:

the Office Id associated with this session

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

getOffice

Office getOffice()
          throws OperationFailedException,
PermissionDeniedException

Gets the Office associated with this session.

Returns:

the office

Throws:

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

canAssignStepEnablers

boolean canAssignStepEnablers()

Tests if this user can alter step enabler/step mappings. A return of true does not guarantee successful authorization. A return of false indicates that it is known mapping 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 mapping is not authorized, true otherwise

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

assignStepEnablerToStep

void assignStepEnablerToStep(Id stepEnablerId,
 Id stepId)
                      throws AlreadyExistsException,
NotFoundException,
OperationFailedException,
PermissionDeniedException

Adds an existing StepEnabler to a Step .

Parameters:

stepEnablerId - the Id of the StepEnabler

stepId - the Id of the Step

Throws:

AlreadyExistsException - stepEnablerId already applied to stepId

NotFoundException - stepEnablerId or stepId not found

NullArgumentException - stepEnablerId or stepId is null

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

unassignStepEnablerFromStep

void unassignStepEnablerFromStep(Id stepEnablerId,
 Id stepId)
                          throws NotFoundException,
OperationFailedException,
PermissionDeniedException

Removes an existing StepEnabler from a Step .

Parameters:

stepEnablerId - the Id of the StepEnabler

stepId - the Id of the Step

Throws:

NotFoundException - stepEnablerId or stepId not found or stepEnablerId already applied to stepId

NullArgumentException - stepEnablerId or stepId is null

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

canSequenceStepEnablers

boolean canSequenceStepEnablers()

Tests if this user can order StepEnablers . A return of true does not guarantee successful authorization. A return of false indicates that it is known sequencing operations will result in a PERMISSION_DENIED .This is intended as a hint to an application that may opt not to offer sequencing operations to an unauthorized user.

Returns:

false if StepEnabler ordering is not authorized, true otherwise

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.
