Method Detail

getMapHierarchyId

Id getMapHierarchyId()

Gets the hierarchy Id associated with this session.

Returns:

the hierarchy Id associated with this session

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

getMapHierarchy

Hierarchy getMapHierarchy()
                          throws OperationFailedException,
                                 PermissionDeniedException

Gets the hierarchy associated with this session.

Returns:

the hierarchy associated with this session

Throws:

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

canModifyMapHierarchy

boolean canModifyMapHierarchy()

Tests if this user can change the hierarchy. A return of true does not guarantee successful authorization. A return of false indicates that it is known performing any update will result in a PERMISSION_DENIED. This is intended as a hint to an application that may opt not to offer these operations to an unauthorized user.

Returns:

false if changing this hierarchy is not authorized, true otherwise

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

addRootMap

void addRootMap(Id mapId)
                throws AlreadyExistsException,
                       NotFoundException,
                       OperationFailedException,
                       PermissionDeniedException

Adds a root map.

Parameters:

mapId - the Id of a map

Throws:

AlreadyExistsException - mapId is already in hierarchy

NotFoundException - mapId not found

NullArgumentException - mapId is null

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

removeRootMap

void removeRootMap(Id mapId)
                   throws NotFoundException,
                          OperationFailedException,
                          PermissionDeniedException
