Interface OrderAdminSession

All Superinterfaces:

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

All Known Subinterfaces:

OrderBatchAdminSession

public interface OrderAdminSession
extends OsidSession

This session creates, updates, and deletes Orders. The data for create and update is provided by the consumer via the form object. OsidForms are requested for each create or update and may not be reused.

Create and update operations differ in their usage. To create an Order, an OrderForm is requested using getOrderFormForCreate() specifying the desired record Types or none if no record Types are needed. The returned OrderForm will indicate that it is to be used with a create operation and can be used to examine metdata or validate data prior to creation. Once the OrderForm is submiited to a create operation, it cannot be reused with another create operation unless the first operation was unsuccessful. Each OrderForm corresponds to an attempted transaction.

For updates, OrderForms are requested to the Order Id that is to be updated using getOrderFormForUpdate(). Similarly, the OrderForm has metadata about the data that can be updated and it can perform validation before submitting the update. The OrderForm can only be used once for a successful update and cannot be reused.

The delete operations delete Orders. To unmap an Order from the current Store, the OrderStoreAssignmentSession should be used. These delete operations attempt to remove the Order itself thus removing it from all known Store catalogs.

This session includes an Id aliasing mechanism to assign an external Id to an internally assigned Id.

Method Detail

getStoreId

Id getStoreId()

Gets the Store Id associated with this session.

Returns:

the Store Id associated with this session

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

getStore

Store getStore()
               throws OperationFailedException,
                      PermissionDeniedException

Gets the Store associated with this session.

Returns:

the store

Throws:

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

canCreateOrders

boolean canCreateOrders()

Tests if this user can create order entries. A return of true does not guarantee successful authorization. A return of false indicates that it is known creating an Order will result in a PERMISSION_DENIED. This is intended as a hint to an application that may not wish to offer create operations to unauthorized users.

Returns:

false if Order creation is not authorized, true otherwise

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

canCreateOrderWithRecordTypes

boolean canCreateOrderWithRecordTypes(Type[] orderRecordTypes)

Tests if this user can create a single Order using the desired record types. While OrderingManager.getOrderRecordTypes() can be used to examine which records are supported, this method tests which record(s) are required for creating a specific Order. Providing an empty array tests if an Order can be created with no records.

Parameters:

orderRecordTypes - array of order record types

Returns:

true if Order creation using the specified record Types is supported, false otherwise

Throws:

NullArgumentException - orderRecordTypes is null

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

getOrderFormForCreate

OrderForm getOrderFormForCreate(Type[] orderRecordTypes)
                                throws OperationFailedException,
                                       PermissionDeniedException

Gets the order form for creating new entries. A new form should be requested for each create transaction.

Parameters:

orderRecordTypes - array of order record types

Returns:

the order form

Throws:

NullArgumentException - orderRecordTypes is null

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

UnsupportedException - unable to get form for requested record types

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

createOrder

Order createOrder(OrderForm orderForm)
                  throws OperationFailedException,
                         PermissionDeniedException

Creates a new Order.

Parameters:

orderForm - the form for this Order

Returns:

the new Order

Throws:

IllegalStateException - orderForm already used in a create transaction

InvalidArgumentException - one or more of the form elements is invalid

NullArgumentException - orderForm is null

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

UnsupportedException - orderForm did not originate from getOrderFormForCreate()

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

canUpdateOrders

boolean canUpdateOrders()

Tests if this user can update orders. A return of true does not guarantee successful authorization. A return of false indicates that it is known updating an Order will result in a PERMISSION_DENIED. This is intended as a hint to an application that may not wish to offer update operations to unauthorized users.

Returns:

false if Order modification is not authorized, true otherwise

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

getOrderFormForUpdate

OrderForm getOrderFormForUpdate(Id orderId)
                                throws NotFoundException,
