Interface AuditEnablerLookupSession

All Superinterfaces:

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

public interface AuditEnablerLookupSession
extends OsidSession

This session provides methods for retrieving AuditEnablers.

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 inquest view: All audit enabler methods in this session operate, retrieve and pertain to audit enablers defined explicitly in the current inquest. Using an isolated view is useful for managing AuditEnablers with the AuditEnablerAdminSession.
• federated inquest view: All audit enabler methods in this session operate, retrieve and pertain to all audit enablers defined in this inquest and any other audit enablers implicitly available in this inquest through inquest inheritence.
• activee audit enabler view: All audit enabler lookup methods return active audit enablers.
• any status audit enabler view: audit enablers 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 useFederatedDistributorView() and useIsolatedDistributorView() behave as a radio group and one should be selected before invoking the methods in this session.

Method Detail

getInquestId

Id getInquestId()

Gets the Inquest Id associated with this session.

Returns:

the Inquest Id associated with this session

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

                          PermissionDeniedException

Gets the Inquest associated with this session.

Returns:

the inquest

Throws:

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

canLookupAuditEnablers

boolean canLookupAuditEnablers()

Tests if this user can perform AuditEnablers 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.

useComparativeAuditEnablerView

void useComparativeAuditEnablerView()

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.

usePlenaryAuditEnablerView

void usePlenaryAuditEnablerView()

Compliance:

mandatory - This method is must be implemented.

useFederatedInquestView

void useFederatedInquestView()

Federates the view for methods in this session. A federated view will include audit enablers in inquests which are children of this inquest in the inquest hierarchy.

Compliance:

mandatory - This method is must be implemented.
