Interface PoolConstrainerDistributorAssignmentSession

All Superinterfaces:

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

public interface PoolConstrainerDistributorAssignmentSession
extends OsidSession

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

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

Method Detail

canAssignPoolConstrainers

boolean canAssignPoolConstrainers()

Tests if this user can alter pool constrainer/distributor 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.

canAssignPoolConstrainersToDistributor

boolean canAssignPoolConstrainersToDistributor(Id distributorId)

Tests if this user can alter pool constrainer/distributor 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:

distributorId - the Id of the Distributor

Returns:

false if mapping is not authorized, true otherwise

Throws:

NullArgumentException - distributorId is null

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

getAssignableDistributorIds

IdList getAssignableDistributorIds(Id distributorId)
                                   throws OperationFailedException

Gets a list of distributors including and under the given distributor node in which any pool constrainer can be assigned.

Parameters:

distributorId - the Id of the Distributor

Returns:

list of assignable distributor Ids

Throws:

NullArgumentException - distributorId is null

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

getAssignableDistributorIdsForPoolConstrainer

IdList getAssignableDistributorIdsForPoolConstrainer(Id distributorId,
                                                   Id poolConstrainerId)
                                                     throws OperationFailedException

Gets a list of distributors including and under the given distributor node in which a specific pool constrainer can be assigned.

Parameters:

distributorId - the Id of the Distributor

poolConstrainerId - the Id of the PoolConstrainer

Returns:

list of assignable distributor Ids

Throws:

NullArgumentException - distributorId or poolConstrainerId is null

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

assignPoolConstrainerToDistributor

void assignPoolConstrainerToDistributor(Id poolConstrainerId,
                                      Id distributorId)
                                        throws AlreadyExistsException,
                                               NotFoundException,
                                               OperationFailedException,
                                               PermissionDeniedException

Adds an existing PoolConstrainer to a Distributor.

Parameters:

poolConstrainerId - the Id of the PoolConstrainer

distributorId - the Id of the Distributor

Throws:

AlreadyExistsException - poolConstrainerId is already assigned to distributorId

NotFoundException - poolConstrainerId or distributorId not found

NullArgumentException - poolConstrainerId or distributorId is null

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.

unassignPoolConstrainerFromDistributor

void unassignPoolConstrainerFromDistributor(Id poolConstrainerId,
                                          Id distributorId)
                                            throws NotFoundException,
                                                   OperationFailedException,

Removes a PoolConstrainer from a Distributor.

Parameters:

poolConstrainerId - the Id of the PoolConstrainer

distributorId - the Id of the Distributor

Throws:

NotFoundException - poolConstrainerId or distributorId not found or poolConstrainerId not assigned to distributorId

NullArgumentException - poolConstrainerId or distributorId is null

OperationFailedException - unable to complete request

PermissionDeniedException - authorization failure

Compliance:

mandatory - This method must be implemented.
