Interface CanonicalUnitProcessorCatalogueAssignmentSession

All Superinterfaces:

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

public interface CanonicalUnitProcessorCatalogueAssignmentSession
extends OsidSession

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

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

Method Detail

canAssignCanonicalUnitProcessors

boolean canAssignCanonicalUnitProcessors()

Tests if this user can alter canonical unit processor/catalogue mappings. A return of true does not guarantee successful authorization. A return of false indicates that it is known mapping 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 mapping is not authorized, true otherwise

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

canAssignCanonicalUnitProcessorsToCatalogue

boolean canAssignCanonicalUnitProcessorsToCatalogue(Id catalogueId)

Tests if this user can alter canonical unit processor/catalogue mappings. A return of true does not guarantee successful authorization. A return of false indicates that it is known mapping 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.

Parameters:

catalogueId - the Id of the Catalogue

Returns:

false if mapping is not authorized, true otherwise

Throws:

NullArgumentException - catalogueId is null

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

getAssignableCatalogueIds

IdList getAssignableCatalogueIds(Id catalogueId)
                                 throws OperationFailedException

Gets a list of catalogues including and under the given catalogue node in which any canonical unit processor can be assigned.

Parameters:

catalogueId - the Id of the Catalogue

Returns:

list of assignable catalogue Ids

Throws:

NullArgumentException - catalogueId is null

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

getAssignableCatalogueIdsForCanonicalUnitProcessor

IdList getAssignableCatalogueIdsForCanonicalUnitProcessor(Id catalogueId,
                                                        Id canonicalUnitProcessorId)
                                                          throws OperationFailedException

Gets a list of catalogues including and under the given catalogue node in which a specific canonical unit processor can be assigned.

Parameters:

catalogueId - the Id of the Catalogue

canonicalUnitProcessorId - the Id of the CanonicalUnitProcessor

Returns:

list of assignable catalogue Ids

Throws:

NullArgumentException - catalogueId or canonicalUnitProcessorId is null

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

assignCanonicalUnitProcessorToCatalogue

void assignCanonicalUnitProcessorToCatalogue(Id canonicalUnitProcessorId,
                                           Id catalogueId)
                                             throws AlreadyExistsException,
                                                    NotFoundException,
                                                    OperationFailedException,
                                                    PermissionDeniedException

Adds an existing CanonicalUnitProcessor to an Catalogue.

Parameters:

canonicalUnitProcessorId - the Id of the CanonicalUnitProcessor

catalogueId - the Id of the Catalogue

Throws:

AlreadyExistsException - canonicalUnitProcessorId already assigned to catalogueId

NotFoundException - canonicalUnitProcessorId or catalogueId not found

NullArgumentException - canonicalUnitProcessorId or catalogueId is null

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

unassignCanonicalUnitProcessorFromCatalogue

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.
