Interface RouteSmartMapSession

All Superinterfaces:

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

public interface RouteSmartMapSession
extends OsidSession

This session manages queries and sequencing to create "smart" dynamic catalogs. A RouteQuery can be retrieved from this session and mapped to this Map to create a virtual collection of Routes. The routes may be sequenced using the RouteSearchOrder from this session.

This Map has a default query that matches any route and a default search order that specifies no sequencing. The queries may be examined using a RouteQueryInspector. The query may be modified by converting the inspector back to a RouteQuery.

Method Detail

getMapId

Id getMapId()

           throws OperationFailedException,
                  PermissionDeniedException

Gets the Map associated with this session.

Returns:

the map

canManageSmartMaps

boolean canManageSmartMaps()

Tests if this user can manage smart maps. A return of true does not guarantee successful authorization. A return of false indicates that it is known 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 operations to unauthorized users.

Returns:

false if smart map management is not authorized, true otherwise

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

getRouteQuery

RouteQuery getRouteQuery()

Gets a route query.

Returns:

the route query

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

getRouteSearchOrder

RouteSearchOrder getRouteSearchOrder()

Gets a route search order.

Returns:

the route search order

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

applyRouteQuery

void applyRouteQuery(RouteQuery routeQuery)

Applies a route query to this map.

Parameters:

routeQuery - the route query

Throws:
