Interface InputEnablerRuleApplicationSession

All Superinterfaces:

java.lang.AutoCloseable, java.io.Closeable, OsidSession

public interface InputEnablerRuleApplicationSession
extends OsidSession

This session provides methods to apply InputEnablers to Inputs. An Input with multiple InputEnablers means any positive rule evaluation across the enablers result in an effective Input.

Method Detail

getSystemId

Id getSystemId()

Gets the System Id associated with this session.

Returns:

the System Id associated with this session

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

getSystem

System getSystem()
                 throws OperationFailedException,
                        PermissionDeniedException

Gets the System associated with this session.

Returns:

the system

Throws:

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

canAssignInputEnablers

boolean canAssignInputEnablers()

Tests if this user can alter input enabler/input 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.

assignInputEnablerToInput

void assignInputEnablerToInput(Id inputEnablerId,
                             Id inputId)
                               throws AlreadyExistsException,
                                      NotFoundException,
                                      OperationFailedException,
                                      PermissionDeniedException

Adds an existing InputEnabler to an Input.

Parameters:

inputEnablerId - the Id of the InputEnabler

inputId - the Id of the Input

Throws:

AlreadyExistsException - inputEnablerId already applied to inputId

NotFoundException - inputEnablerId or inputId not found

NullArgumentException - inputEnablerId or inputId is null

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

unassignInputEnablerFromInput

void unassignInputEnablerFromInput(Id inputEnablerId,
                                 Id inputId)
                                   throws NotFoundException,
                                          OperationFailedException,
                                          PermissionDeniedException

Removes an InputEnabler from an Input.

Parameters:

inputEnablerId - the Id of the InputEnabler

inputId - the Id of the Input

Throws:

NotFoundException - inputEnablerId or inputId not found or not mapped

NullArgumentException - inputEnablerId or inputId is null

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

canSequenceInputEnablers

boolean canSequenceInputEnablers()

Tests if this user can order Inputs. 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 InputEnabler ordering is not authorized, true otherwise

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

moveInputEnablerAhead

void moveInputEnablerAhead(Id inputEnablerId,
                         Id inputId,
                         Id referenceId)
                           throws NotFoundException,
                                  OperationFailedException,
                                  PermissionDeniedException

Reorders input enablers for an input by moving the specified input enabler in front of a reference input enabler.

NotFoundException - inputEnablerId, deviceProcesorId, or referenceId not found or, inputEnablerId or referenceId not related to inputId

NullArgumentException - inputEnablerId, inputId, or referenceId is null

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

moveInputEnablerBehind

void moveInputEnablerBehind(Id inputEnablerId,
