Interface ProgramOfferingAdminSession

All Superinterfaces:

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

public interface ProgramOfferingAdminSession
extends OsidSession

This session creates, updates, and deletes ProgramOfferings. The data for create and update is provided by the consumer via the form object. OsidForms are requested for each create or update and may not be reused.

Create and update operations differ in their usage. To create a ProgramOffering, a ProgramOfferingForm is requested using getProgramOfferingFormForCreate() specifying the desired canonical program, term, and record Types or none if no record Types are needed. The returned ProgramOfferingForm will indicate that it is to be used with a create operation and can be used to examine metdata or validate data prior to creation. Once the ProgramOfferingForm is submiited to a create operation, it cannot be reused with another create operation unless the first operation was unsuccessful. Each ProgramOfferingForm corresponds to an attempted transaction.

For updates, ProgramOfferingForms are requested to the ProgramOffering Id that is to be updated using getProgramOfferingFormForUpdate(). Similarly, the ProgramOfferingForm has metadata about the data that can be updated and it can perform validation before submitting the update. The ProgramOfferingForm can only be used once for a successful update and cannot be reused.

The delete operations delete ProgramEntries. To unmap a ProgramOffering from the current CourseCatalog, the ProgramOfferingCourseCatalogAssignmentSession should be used. These delete operations attempt to remove the ProgramOffering itself thus removing it from all known CourseCatalog catalogs.

This session includes an Id aliasing mechanism to assign an external Id to an internally assigned Id.
