Interface ActivityRegistrationAdminSession

All Superinterfaces:

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

All Known Subinterfaces:

ActivityRegistrationBatchAdminSession

public interface ActivityRegistrationAdminSession
extends OsidSession

This session creates, updates, and deletes ActivityRegistrations. 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 an ActivityRegistration, an ActivityRegistrationForm is requested using getRegistrationFormForCreate() specifying the registration, activity, student, and desired record Types or none if no record Types are needed. The returned ActivityRegistrationForm 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 ActivityRegistrationForm is submiited to a create operation, it cannot be reused with another create operation unless the first operation was unsuccessful. Each ActivityRegistrationForm corresponds to an attempted transaction.

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

The delete operations delete ActivityRegistrations. To unmap an ActivityRegistration from the current CourseCatalog, the ActivityRegistrationCourseCatalogAssignmentSession should be used. These delete operations attempt to remove the ActivityRegistrationForm 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.

Method Detail

getCourseCatalogId

Id getCourseCatalogId()

Gets the CourseCatalog Id associated with this session.

Returns:

the CourseCatalog Id associated with this session

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

                                      PermissionDeniedException

Gets the CourseCatalog associated with this session.

Returns:

the course catalog

Throws:

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

canCreateActivityRegistrations

boolean canCreateActivityRegistrations()

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

boolean canCreateActivityRegistrationWithRecordTypes(Type[] activityRegistrationRecordTypes)

Tests if this user can create a single ActivityRegistration using the desired record types. While CourseRegistrationManager.getActivityRegistrationRecordTypes() can be used to examine which records are supported, this method tests which record(s) are required for creating a specific ActivityRegistration. Providing an empty array tests if an ActivityRegistration can be created with no records.

Parameters:

activityRegistrationRecordTypes - array of activity registration record types
