Interface PathMapAssignmentSession

All Superinterfaces:

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

public interface PathMapAssignmentSession
extends OsidSession

This session provides methods to re-assign Paths to Map objects. A Path may appear in multiple Map objects and removing the last reference to a Path is the equivalent of deleting it. Each Map may have its own authorizations governing who is allowed to operate on it.

Adding a reference of a Path to another Map is not a copy operation (eg: does not change its Id ).

IdList	getAssignableMapIds(Id mapId) Gets a list of maps including and under the given map node in which any path can be assigned.
IdList	getAssignableMapIdsForPath(Id mapId, Id pathId) Gets a list of maps including and under the given map node in which a specific path can be assigned.
void	unassignPathFromMap(Id pathId, Id mapId) Removes a Path from a Map.

Method Detail

canAssignPaths

boolean canAssignPaths()

Tests if this user can alter path/map mappings. A return of true does not guarantee successful authorization. A return of false indicates that it is known location 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 assignment operations to unauthorized users.

Returns:

false if mapping is not authorized, true otherwise

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

canAssignPathsToMap

boolean canAssignPathsToMap(Id mapId)

Tests if this user can alter path/map mappings. A return of true does not guarantee successful authorization. A return of false indicates that it is known location 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 assignment operations to unauthorized users.

Parameters:

mapId - the Id of the Map

Returns:

false if mapping is not authorized, true otherwise

Throws:

NullArgumentException - mapId is null

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

getAssignableMapIds

IdList getAssignableMapIds(Id mapId)
                           throws OperationFailedException

Gets a list of maps including and under the given map node in which any path can be assigned.

Parameters:

mapId - the Id of the Map

Returns:

list of assignable map Ids

Throws:

NullArgumentException - mapId is null

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

getAssignableMapIdsForPath

IdList getAssignableMapIdsForPath(Id mapId,
                                Id pathId)
                                  throws OperationFailedException

Gets a list of maps including and under the given map node in which a specific path can be assigned.

Parameters:

mapId - the Id of the Map

pathId - the Id of the Path

Returns:

list of assignable map Ids

Throws:

NullArgumentException - mapId or pathId is null

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

assignPathToMap

void assignPathToMap(Id pathId,
                   Id mapId)
                     throws AlreadyExistsException,
                            NotFoundException,
                            OperationFailedException,
                            PermissionDeniedException

Adds an existing Path to a Map.

Parameters:

pathId - the Id of the Path

mapId - the Id of the Map

Throws:

AlreadyExistsException - pathId is already assigned to mapId

NotFoundException - pathId or mapId not found

NullArgumentException - pathId or mapId is null

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

unassignPathFromMap

void unassignPathFromMap(Id pathId,
                       Id mapId)
                         throws NotFoundException,
                                OperationFailedException,
                                PermissionDeniedException

Removes a Path from a Map.

Parameters:

pathId - the Id of the Path

mapId - the Id of the Map

Throws:

NotFoundException - pathId or mapId not found or pathId not assigned to mapId

NullArgumentException - pathId or mapId is null

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.
