Interface CanonicalUnitEnablerLookupSession

All Superinterfaces:

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

public interface CanonicalUnitEnablerLookupSession
extends OsidSession

This session provides methods for retrieving CanonicalUnitEnablers.

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 catalogue view: All canonical unit enabler methods in this session operate, retrieve and pertain to canonical unit enablers defined explicitly in the current catalogue. Using an isolated view is useful for managing CanonicalUnitEnablers with the CanonicalUnitEnablerAdminSession.
• federated catalogue view: All canonical unit enabler methods in this session operate, retrieve and pertain to all canonical unit enablers defined in this catalogue and any other canonical unit enablers implicitly available in this catalogue through catalogue inheritence.
• activee canonical unit enabler view: All canonical unit enabler lookup methods return active canonical unit enablers.
• any status canonical unit enabler view: canonical unit 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.

canLookupCanonicalUnitEnablers

boolean canLookupCanonicalUnitEnablers()

Tests if this user can perform CanonicalUnitEnablers 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.

useComparativeCanonicalUnitEnablerView

void useComparativeCanonicalUnitEnablerView()

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.

usePlenaryCanonicalUnitEnablerView
