Interface PoolLookupSession

All Superinterfaces:

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

public interface PoolLookupSession
extends OsidSession

This session provides methods for retrieving Pool objects. The Pool represents a fixed connection between two Provisionables.

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 broker view: All pool methods in this session operate, retrieve and pertain to pools defined explicitly in the current broker. Using an isolated view is useful for managing Pools with the PoolAdminSession.
• federated broker view: All pool methods in this session operate, retrieve and pertain to all pools defined in this broker and any other pools implicitly available in this broker through broker inheritence.
• active pool view: active pools are returned from methods in this session
• any status pool view: active and inactive pools are returned from methods in this session

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 any lookup methods.

Method Detail

getDistributorId

Id getDistributorId()

Gets the Distributor Id associated with this session.

Returns:

the Distributor Id associated with this session

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

getDistributor

                           throws OperationFailedException,
                                  PermissionDeniedException

Gets the Distributor associated with this session.

Returns:

the distributor

Throws:

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

canLookupPools

boolean canLookupPools()

Tests if this user can perform Pool 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.

useComparativePoolView

void useComparativePoolView()

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.

usePlenaryPoolView

void usePlenaryPoolView()

A complete view of the Pool returns is desired. Methods will return what is requested or result in an error. This view is used when greater precision is desired at the expense of interoperability.

Compliance:

mandatory - This method is must be implemented.

useFederatedDistributorView

void useFederatedDistributorView()

Federates the view for methods in this session. A federated view will include pools in distributors which are children of this broker in the distributor hierarchy.

Compliance:

mandatory - This method is must be implemented.

useIsolatedDistributorView

void useIsolatedDistributorView()

Isolates the view for methods in this session. An isolated view restricts lookups to this distributor only.

Compliance:

mandatory - This method is must be implemented.

useActivePoolView

void useActivePoolView()

Only active pools are returned from methods in this session.

Compliance:

mandatory - This method is must be implemented.

useAnyStatusPoolView

void useAnyStatusPoolView()

Borth active and inactive pools are returned from methods in this session.

Compliance:

mandatory - This method is must be implemented.
